The glorious return of The Great and Powerful TRIXIE!!!! So yeah, like I said, Trixie was easily THE most popular one off character in season 1, and remained hugely popular through Season 2 (helped by Sethisto being a HUGE Trixie fan) So the staff brought her back! Now, I've been focusing on the writers a lot, because they really do have distinct styles and their own strengths and weaknesses, and a lot of their eps tend to have similarities. In this case, this ep was MA Larson, previously mentioned as the most popular writer on the show, as well as the writer for many of the most popular eps of the first half of it, this ep included. However, as wonderful as he is, he does have his own issues and flaws, and this ep shows the biggest one that he has freely admitted to many times.... he really, really does not know how to write Fluttershy, hence her being even more of a doormat then she was even back in season 1. What he is good at, is continuity! All the call backs, and the touches that really sell this being a larger world where things matter.... that wasn't just A rock farm, that was Pinkie's family's farm, that stallion was her dad. Speaking of The Pink One.... no one even wants to try and question how she was able to breath for days straight with no muzzle. That said, the removal of said muzzle was a great little joke as they just showed the tools the animators would use to do this. Then you have this being essentially giving us what Zecora was meant to be from the start, before budget issues cut down on the amount of 'adventure' eps they could do.. a second mentor for Twilight that would help teach her, less just rote info dumps about the creature of the week, and more different ways to approach problems. And yeah that training sequence was totally Star Wars with a dash of Karate Kid. Then you have just how freaking DARK this ep is when you think about it. The whole town trapped under the dome, ruled by an insane tyrant... and at the end, she outright tried to agony beam RD. Yeah this could have gone SOOOO dark. Also, we got the Alicorn Amulet, which is important not only for all the fics it spawned (personal favorite being the absolutely amazing Sunset of Time) but also, for the first time the term 'alicorn' was actually used in show, as that was a fan term, the staff really had no specific name for that type of pony before. But now, "Alicorn' has pretty much ascended to be THE term for winged unicorns. As well as this ep giving us Saddle Arabians, a play on both Saudi Arabia, and Arabian horses,and the first creatures in the show that really look like actual horses. All around, a great ep bringing back a much loved antgonist! Also great job guessing the trick!
