> Cozy Glow, despite her menacing look in the cliffhanger of School Raze, she acts like the comic relief that gives the villains a bit of a slice of life feeling and lowers the tensions of those characters. Definitely a highlight in which one can find a couple of laughs from that hostile environment.

> yeah me too. Episode 9 is going to be fun just because of her presence.

It feels like she feels (Though I maybe jumping he gun) a more fully realized character here. Last season I gave her some points for being unique and I felt like they were trying to mix it up, but I was still unsure a bit and found her a bit strange of being this filly who came out of o where. Here I feel more forgiving of her flaws and her traits better utilized.

> me neither. How is the pacing a problem here? 

I see we are on the same page here. I mean, maybe it was from me trying to cherish it, but even on second viewing it didn't pass fast or feel out of place to me.  

> I will say one possible controversial thing: the action scenes (when they require action and not dialog) were the most boring parts to me because it´s the usual setup that we are used to seeing.

> there is something fishy in this opener and I am writing these thoughts that lead me to think that the "action" scenes were the most boring parts. Ironic, considering that I love Twilight´s Kingdom.

Other than my favorite part being the action in the end with Discord's death fake out and the bearers taking out Sombra, I fully agree. The other action was just there because of going through the motions. Unlike the A Canterlot Wedding or Twilight's Kingdom the action there wasn't a special treat and the fighting that did happen was simply what was required.

> A motivational moment that indeed, deserves to be remembered as one of the best moments from him and in the series

> It´s like he has acted in a way that Celestia did in Horse Play: so close to trick everyone out there because of how genuine their thought are. 

It's the only part of the special that I feel like I can just really gush over. I'd just be repeating myself though. Already though one of my favorite moments in the series. 

>  yeah,it´s certainly odd and questionable from their part to do that in such a rushed way. How much time did they think about it? Did they drop those lines because they wanted a vacation that quick? 

As I said, my main problem with it. I understand what they are trying to facilitate but them trying to make a full transition in such a short period. Especially with Twilight even pointing it out within the episode how it was illogical. I was sure it was a fake out and was completely shocked when Celestia and Luna had said that in a completely sober mind without being replaced or mind controlled. Makes me wonder if it was suppose to be that in an earlier draft.

>  see  >>/3636/. They have faced so many adventures that the extraordinary becomes ordinary,

Still a little on the fence here, but this is a very good point. Regardless whether I like it or not it is only a nitpick.

> the premiere is nothing new.....but was it made in that way on purpose?

True. Though some of it makes me feel a little off, others I can see it understandable to revisit. 

...though, regardless of some small criticisms and one moderate sized one. I think I'm overall pic related.
