>It has much less plot holes that could bring a mess than The Crystal Empire or The Crystalling. You can try and check where the line is between your nitpicks and the problems you see though.
>Well, better than The Crystalling and around the same for Celestial Advice. Just as you would expect from them. I am chill about this,mostly because by the looks of the song of being together(in the preview),I thought this was about progressivism and stuff,but turns out it has ended pretty much in its own rule and context. Nor one side nor the other,just what they thought it was convenient or felt like doing it.

Yeah. Certainly wasn't the best. I can't say I hated it and it was slightly better then I expected it would be at some parts. It wasn't progressive shrilling, it was about tolerance + screw the rigid school system both as subtexts.

Okay, first I'm going to say what I liked. I liked the new characters (I mean, there is a possibility some of them could be annoying at times but I'm hopeful). Liked Dolores' moment with Twilight, she briefly popped in without feeling shoehorned in the plot and it actually was kind of sweet. Like many of the side moments, but I always like the tiny moments before stuff happens, so that's a given. I thought Twilight's character was handled okay, you could level some criticism at it, but it was stuff I would expect/could see their reasoning for. Natural evolution direction, it was actually interesting to see her use her authority as princess completely at her own at the end and her leaning to take charge a bit. though I suppose some would argue that she should already have some experience in that, I think her obsessiveness to follow the rules makes sense for how they handled it.


Now onto the otherstuff. This is probably going to be more of a ramble, but here it goes. EEA is... strange, not bad on paper, but it does feel a bit arbitrary. First off, Twilight Sparkle not knowing about the prime regulatory body for the Equestrian School system makes no sense to me, but I'm going to stop there. This point is a nitpick, because in the series she has had a few other moments like this. If you are going to give too much flank over that you have to remember her not knowing about stuff like the starswirl the bearded section in the canterlot library. Another thing odd about the EEA is how much power its implied to have. Now I really don't have a problem that there would be some bureaucracy that Celestia couldn't fix by degree on the get go well, they kinda implied that IDK , I mean with the hits even all the way back at the first gala that there was some royal duties that Celestia hated, but it sure seems strange how they conducted their power with a high level of impunity. He didn't even seem intimidated by the higher Princesses at all. Neighsay's attitude towards Twilight I actually think was a good writing choice. Though I think if this had been a few seasons back, Neighsay would've been paying faux politeness around the Princess and Twily would feel trapped in a different but similar way (Celestia, told me I need to get appoval from the EEA, but this guy's a total jerk, I don't know what to do! vs This guy is a total jerk who controls the EEA, I don't know what to do!). That actually could have made for an interesting dynamic in itself. TS feels that she hasn't to please him, then goes aganst him, and perhaps thinks she's going against Celestia too, Princess Celestia tells her that she has learned that a Princess had to take charge at times... bla bla bla.

I don't really as much about the bureaucracy as much as I felt they could have been more interesting with the dynamic here. At least another Twilight talking to Celestia at the end moment, celly saying I was pru=ound of you or something. Minus the Celestia and Twily not having a moment at the end, this isn't really much of a criticism as much is it me being confused by how all this works in their world.
