Twilight never had fun the entire time there and became more and more insane as she fell behind. OTOH, this episode takes place inside the Hay Burger restaurant. From the get-go, she looked for whatever excuse to get out of her classroom, forced them to fend for themselves, and intentionally exacerbated the problem for those who looked forward to making the halftime show as memorable as the tournament itself. DQ’ing Pinkie was the last possible outcome for her, whereas RD’s sour opinions of cheerleading never changed.ĭash was supposed to teach her students how to cheerlead, but she wanted nothing to do with them and was being less than lazy throughout. However, her sanity had already spiraled coming into this moment, especially when Granny read aloud the "Sticks & Stones" category, so she clearly was not in the right mind when she baited PP. Despite an early panic attack, Twilight initially held out hope and tried to coach Pinkie. In Greaaat, Dash was completely composed as she bullied her students. So why does Twilight’s terrible behavior work much more than Rainbow Dash’s? Tried to create a new rule in order to penalize Maud and Mud.īut the worst thing she did was take advantage of both her knowledge of the rules and Pinkie's lack thereof to bait Pinkie into asking Maud for information within an active category and intentionally get her disqualified so Sunburst can replace her. Get Cranky, who did nothing wrong, disqualified for taking a quick nap.Ĭaught Fluttershy taking suggestions from Angel.ĭock points from AJ and Dash for taunting each other. When you look over the episode, she used the rules to do some really bad things. Twilight was completely antagonistic and not someone to root for, especially in a game designed for some friendly competition. Of course, like 246G, ATP doesn't show a character at her best or most likeable. So the audience can see why Twilight panics and tries to use the rules to get back into the game. She wasn't familiar with any of the rules, had no idea that you needed to answer specifically to be awarded points, couldn't interject her own opinion into her answer (putting them both in the red for a bit), and got easily distracted. She wants to have fun and help Twilight win. Now, Pinkie isn't trying to hurt Twilight in any way. When the episode conveniently puts her and Pinkie (who never played the game before)) together, things just went south. While Lesson Zero slowly progressed Twilight into insanity, Twilight began to feel the pressure before the cold open Spike's attempts to reassure himself and Twilight's obsessive grin and eyes give that away so quickly. The best part, bar none, is Twilight's arc. Note: Credits to and for this quickieview.Īfter Dash had one of the most insufferable appearances of the series, A Trivial Pursuit is somewhat a return to form for Season 9.
