Friendship University
So the message is there are some that never change? I guess in this type of show you do need to balance it out with the reform characters we have on this show.
Flim and Flam, they are not evil, they are not super villains, they are just con men, and that may never change. Star Swirl never meet them, it is not his fault.
Twilight being so paranoid about Flim and Flam, she fails to see the big picture and that is to keep an eye on Neighsay, he is up to something. After all the hopes Twilight had to go through in the season premiere, Fllim and Flam to get credited just like that, something is up. Either Neighsay is holding a grudge and doesn't care, or we have some bribery going on here.

"Surf And/Or Turf"...gets a 9/10. Pros: -It was so good to see Mount Aeris and Seaquestria again...and animated so beautifully no less. Mount Aeris especially, now that it has been rebuilt after the Storm King's defeat, is an absolutely marvelous place brought to life by the animators. And Seaquestria also looks good, it does not have to hide at all from the movie version, it is magnificent to look at all the same. Not to mention getting more of a look into Hippogriph and Seapony culture (what they do for entertainment, what they eat etc.) and seeing all the various designs of them (Hippogriph fledlings certainly are adorable <3). These places were already a good addition to the episode. -The plot was definitely a good one that some viewers might relate to. Of course, it being a show for young girls they could not go into the darker side of having to choose between two worlds (like if Terramar's parents were divorced or something) but sometimes it is just good to have a conflict where it's just the confusion of the child being the hurdle instead of the parents wanting the child to make a decision. And Terramar's parents were certainly very likable and I enjoyed the scenes with them (now, who is actually the one related to Queen Novo?), -Terramar was a good secondary character for this episode with a very relatable problem. I would fathom that he is younger than Silverstream based on his build though he seems more down-to-earth than his bubbly sister. Gotta love his confusion at the Crusader's excitement at him having a problem and his genuine frustration with them for understandable reasons ("If you disagree on where it's best to live, how should I be able to choose?). Also like that instead of accepting their apology at the end, he just continued emphasizing his problem. -Also really loved the characterization of the CMC in this ep by having them actually being so in an argument with each other that Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle won't even talk to each other (I actually cannot remember any big argument like that that they ever had save for Season 4's "Flight To The Finish"). The individual appreciation for each area was cute to see (Sweetie Belle's twirls and Scootaloo swimming around without a care...the latter being a bit bittersweet when you think about it) and Apple Bloom was also used well as the middle mare. -Twilight Sparkle also shined in the little screen time she had. So giddy about the "research" she was doing and having some adorable moments throughout...it was good to see my Twilight Princess in this matter. -Loved the song (and also the twist for me that it was not the solution to the problem...which I thought at first) and the actual solution was nice and sweet to see. Cons: -It just missed something...I don't know what but it just missed that certain element that would make it a 10/10 episode. Still, 9/10 and the best individual episode so far out of Season 8 for me.

Well, you cannot blame Apple Bloom considering the little her sister actually did in the movie.

I actually had to check the transcript because I thought that I had misheard for sure. But I didn't...they indeed invited Twilight to drink steins with salmon juice....
So finally the secret of Silver Stream's rapid-fire transformation in the Season 8 opener is explained.
