>That is what now really interests me with this episode that you put it that way. I had noted that her attitude seemed like trollestia but it was only a footnote that I would've included in bonus thoughts and observations (along with RD seeming possibly too stupid and dismissive of cheering considering she is such a sport's pony).
no wonder you could have included as just a minor thought. Nonetheless, I went way too far and tried to analyze why she has set up all of this and while one could this as a try hard projection to defend this episode, the problem is that the episode itself delivers a few clues in the expressions and in the actions from the squad. That minor bonus thought that you could have mentioned is what has driven to overanalyze and point out how this episode goes with a colder mind. I won´t deny that this practice has entertained me quite a bit though.

About that RD, it doesn´t have that much of a mystery considering that she has trained (along with AJ) Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy to their success in Buckball Season. Rainbow clearly has the formula and the writers have decided to build up this lesson towards the direction of: "Time spent together matters more than a victory".

>I think A Trivial Problem may actually show a bit too. That on its own as significant enough to save her reasoning I'd be mixed on, but I think it adds an bit to think about.
I haven´t watched that episode (I will catch up tomorrow for ep 16 and ep 17) yet but if I get to see what you are saying, then my thoughts about 2,4,6 Great might not be all that crazy in the end.

>I still think that with the time they had they perhaps should have given a co-staring role to one of the student 6 because in it'd be good to get their POV whenever you can crowd it into this season.
the problem is that the students don´t get enough time to explore them in a personal level. For one of them, we know more about her family (Silverstream), another one is so uninteresting and chill that ends up as his main virtue for his character (Sandbar) and lastly, we don´t get to see the problems that one changeling has to face in a 2nd era for their lives (Ocellus). This might explain they have left that stuff for IDW...I suppose.
