>On paper there is a lot for me to love. Small scale threat, local setting, a /comfy/ feel, etc. But something just feels off with this one. Not strong enough for me to call it bad, but I have a hesitance of giving it a positive rating.
I haven´t had that strange feeling. I ended up enjoying this one the most. You probably have that thorn in your side because of its biggest aspects: it compiles lots of previous ingredients into a one way episode. It brings up the cockatrices again, Dolores´s quartet, Mud Briar and Terramar for a single plot device by also using the school and the Castle of the Two Sisters. An episode that is supposed to emulate Uncommon Bond,Stare Master,Once Upon A Zeppelin and The End in Friend for a different purpose. It brings nothing new on the table by its little separate pieces but it achieves to find a new dynamic with all of them jointed together.


>One of these criticisms is very clear cut and obvious for me: the moral of this episode doesn't feel fitting of the scenario. Establishing the whole student console thing and then having them run off into the forest.
them running into the forest is a consequence of such worries from her creator. It doesn´t help that Silverstream didn´t think about telling to her family that she was focusing on her project instead. The whole conflict was created just to show that Dolores should find by herself a balance between dealing with her job and having free time with her friends. If you want to have a comparison, this kind of reminds me of Once Upon A Zeppelin,seeing Twilight working all the time and not getting enough time to spend with her family. It´s not so obvious (maybe I am projecting) because of the circumstances but I can see where the message was aimed at.

>it felt like they were setting up a Slice of Life then glued it to some other episode with an adventure plot. Dolores's hectic schedule, the brief flash of sadness on Silverstream's face, it felt like a set up for a different episode and didn't fit well with the second half. This is not 100& a negative mark, especially if it delivers some fun, but it is something that does cause me to view it less favorably.
they set up that adventure mode because of the lack of communication/information and extreme panic towards the situation, translating it as Dolores´s guilt for its resolution. This also happened with the Point of No Return, a fragile in which this plot could have not occurred because of little details in its first part.
