> yeah, that´s basically her character trait that they have come up with. That fanatism about her for art didn´t start in this episode but in a pre season 9 short.
Well, I think I like it. need to go and watch the shorts don't I?
> that could possibly be its biggest flaw, that the answers that you wanted from the tree itself haven´t appeared yet so it feels more like another little test that the tree sent out to the students and they simply obeyed and did the task they considered acceptable in the end, not to mention that they have been the only ones that talked to treelight sparkle and she disappeared when the actual Twilight was about to appear.
It just felt too wonky in pacing and too mechanical in its plot for me to enjoy. For me Treelight appeareces felt barren. I wouldn't have minded them being limited but it just felt too much like the cutie map calling people for arbitrary reasons. You are right that is a flaw, though for me it may not be the greatest flaw but the second. The greatest flaw was the attics of the characters, too long in setup and too mechanical for me. I feel on further reflection why this failed in while other /comfy/ episodes succeeded was the lack of time it was spending just living in the setting. Castle Sweet Castle and Sleepless in Ponyville really felt localized and we got to spend a lot of time there just intimate with the characters. It didn't offer that experience in place of fanservice. Now, here would be a faction still hating on it because "studet 6" but I don't think it would've been as strong. As this seemed to have a much higher negative reaction than other stuff involving them in the later season 8 when we were starting ta get used to them.
> I wouldn´t blame you, that´s how most have felt with the episode, that it was pretty average or didn´t offer much.
Nor would I you.
