Maybe your subconscious was telling you not to judge the episode before it aired.

I know its their baby, but Hasbro really should just butt out of things with Studio B. Let them do their thing. Its their story writing that got a major following in the first place.

I came around on this because of how it was handled (rushed as it was)....
-it wasn't handed to her (Celestia's song was proof of that)
-the last step was a big one (given the reverence that even Celestia has for Star Swirl's work)
-Season 4 will have all the fallout of this so I can't judge further on it.
Not changing my score, though.

Oh, and I would certainly love to go to a party hosted by Fluttershy. After all, Vinyl Scratch thought it would be cool to go to.

The Season 4 premier should be a good one, the problem is waiting so long.
But then again, it really did seem like those 7 months flew by. And with comics coming out monthly and what not, the lul may be even easier. And hanging out here too, of course.

I think the weirdest thing though is Twilight just suddenly becoming a princess. It just entirely throws any notion of how royalty works in Equestria out the window. All the previous princesses are related by blood. And then there is Twilight, who only is related to the royal family via the marriage of her brother.
I could probably eventually grow to accept Alicorn Twilight, but I'm not sure if I'll ever grow used to princess Twilight.

Wow, you guys have been pretty silent. Only 11 pages since I went to bed. That's no....
Oh, you went through another thread after the episode aired. That explains it.
9/10
Anyways, I'm not sure how this would have worked as a two parter. Would we have gone from a situation from having too little time to having way too much time to resolve both the swapped destines and promote Twilight? Perhaps the brisk pace might have been a good thing for this episode, though the transition from swapped destinies to Twilight Princess was a bit wonky.

Well for one if it was a two parter, we wouldn't need the music montages to speed things up. What we saw in the montages could've been fully fleshed out scenes.

The time constraint worked in that they could only deal with the destinies of the Mane six, but a 2-parter they could have screwed up all of Ponyville in the process.
or blame Discord, who for some reason couldn't fix it - or won't fix it because he didn't do it and blames Twilight...
Maybe some more backstory on Star Swirl's spell? what happened when he tried to cast it?
Done right, you could do a whole season on this premise ;D

The difference here is I think they easily could've turned this into two episodes where as Crystal Empire had a crap load of fluff in it.
