No Second Prances Review

I know I’m about 2 years late but I need to get this episode off my chest. This episode was the worst episode of Season 6 with To Where And Back Again and Every Little Thing She Does not too far behind. I went in with low expectations and that’s exactly what I got. This was the episode that made me not like Starlight to this day. But first here are some things I noticed and or were positive/interesting then I’m going to talk about the Mane 3.

Pro’s

Pinkie Pie actually got a speaking role and it was more than one line, considering the fact the other two episodes with Trixie she hardly talked.

New backgrounder a in Ponyville

Spike interestingly not being present

Character Continuity

Twilight did nothing wrong and was completely justified in her actions and ended up being right

Con’s

Trixie

As soon as I saw the preview for the episode I knew I was gonna dislike this episode. Once again Trixie shows up trying to get back at Twilight for something that wasn’t her fault but Trixie’s because her biggest secret is that she was jealous of Twilight...What. A. Shocker. So Trixie makes friends with Starlight to ultimately get back at Twilight and beating her at something. One line I want to point out is this:

Trixie: Everypony always says they'll give you a second chance, but deep down, they never forget.

I mean you were the cause of that Ursa Minor that nearly destroyed Ponyville because of your boasting and you became a dictator and enslaved Ponyville and forced the citizens into manual labor. What did you think was going to happen...nearly every villain whose been redeemed has went through this in the series/movies and honestly only a few have managed to move past their mistakes completely (Luna, Discord, and Sunset) so that’s not uncommon. What Trixie needs to do is own up her mistakes and actually sincerely apologize to Twilight without having an ulterior motive but...let’s be honest that’s not happening anytime soon.

Starlight

Yes, I understand that Starlight is still going through her phase of trying to let her past go...oh wait she still hasn’t let her past go nevermind. Most of the lines she said are so contradictory with her actions in the episode that it makes her unbearable to watch and not like able...

1. Starlight’s worries about ponies in Ponyville finding out about her past...you only affected the Mane 6 and Spike and the ponies of YOUR VILLIAGE. She should’ve been worried if her old village would accept her after what she did...Oh Wait. Nevermind. That’s an insult to Luna and Sunset who actually had to deal with criticism from others.

2. Starlight getting upset about Twilight not trusting her to make her own friends: Twilight knows Trixie, Starlight doesn’t. Twilight has clashed and been a victim of Trixie before and Starlight doesn’t know about any of that. Even Trixie admitted to Starlight that she wasn’t nice and Twilight was right. If Twilight didn’t know what she was talking about she wouldn’t have said anything or was looking out for Starlight and what happened: Starlight ended up getting played and cried and ran off so that’s your fault.

3. When It Comes To Magic I Don’t Make Mistakes except for the time where I brainwashed my villiage so that cutie marks are evil so that I can force friendships and nearly destroying Equestria multiple times in a time loop and NOW I’M INSECURE ABOUT MY ACTIONS TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN’T MAKE A FRIEND IN THE FRIENDLIEST TOWN IN EQUESTRIA

4. “Nopony else in Ponyville wanted to be my friend”...If the writers expect me to feel sorry for this ⬆️ they have very low expectations. Starlight didn’t even TRY to make a friend with any of the ponies she passed by on the way to the spa. She didn’t even make friends with any of the Mane 5’s suggestions...except Angel but he’s Angel so. This line is bullshit. You can’t expect someone to feel sorry for you if you don’t put in effort like Sunset did. Yes she got rejected multiple times but she made an effort to do so on their own.

5. “I’m so glad we don’t have to go to that boring dinner” And with that line, Starlight Glimmer lost all my respect as a character. Let’s remember that Twilight planned that dinner for her to showcase how well Starlight’s been doing. Twilight didn’t have to do that for her. Twilight didn’t have to give her a second chance. Twilight could’ve sent Starlight’s ass to Tartarus or some shit but she didn’t, she let Starlight into her home, made her a student of her teachings, and Starlight says that shit. That was straight disrespectful. And she left Celestia, the ruler of all of Equestria waiting at the table. Starlight’s either bold or dumb as fuck for that one. She deserved to get what came to her for that.

After the episode aired, Starlight was official my least favorite character in the G4 franchise with Trixie at second worst.

Overall the episode gets a 1/10 that 1 being the good things I mentioned and Twilight.
