Celestia fans definitely must have been over the moon with how great this episode was for celestia as a character.

You mean over the sun.
Also I wonder why they don't do something like this with luna. Yeah there is apart of her history about her being evil but Luna also did good things too before then.

@@joshblackwell8632 Well, I don't remember exactly why, because I started watching MLP at the age of 11, in 2011, and my then character and interests are a mystery to me, but introspection says the following: I could dislike Rarity for her femininity, for fear of getting dirty, for her image of a lady, which, however, did not contradict her fighting spirit, which I began to understand (and remember) from 4 season. And surprise-surprise — by the end of the series, I realized that I had developed some of my traits thanks to her(playful drama, love for stylish images and appearances).
With Celestia, everything is somewhat simpler - "she's not the Luna" and "in fanfiction, she's kind of muddy, I don't trust her." And again, all this does not make sense when you get to know her better :p

The fact that such series began to appear is good. Before them, I counted Celestia (as well as Rarity) among the objects of my dislike and hatred.

Seeing Celestia all giddy isn’t just adorable, but it points out how much Nicole Oliver’s voice range on Celestia’s every waking moment is quite versatile!

I'm STILL convinced that Tia was just trolling them, at first, and then when Twilight didn't call her out on it from the start, she kept it going to teach her a lesson.

I really think Celestia was trolling and knew her acting was bad the entire time. I think she just wanted to teach Twilight a lesson. Mostly that she shouldn't be treated as any more special than anyone else, just because she's a princess.

@CuteAnimeGirl 2019-12-09 15:05:26

Yeah but at the beginning of the episode she says she has no acting experience at all, in a way that puts emphasis on it as if she already knows she isn't a great actor. That doesn't mean she couldn't be genuinely upset too, but I think she was aware of how it might turn out.

@Narrator007 2019-12-09 01:37:03

I could have been convinced of that too, were it not for how genuinely upset Celestia seemed after Twilight's outburst. That level of emotion in her voice before she flew off did not feel like an act at all.

5:44 starlight, I love you. She practically said what everyone thought.
This episode brings us a lot of information, we learned how long celestia had her talent and it means luna and celestia ruled just over 100 years before the nightmare moon accident... so luna spend almost her entire life on the moon... its pretty sad.
Twilight freaking out is always fantastic. One of the best season 8 episodes for me.

you forget the clear context differences between the two scenarios. one is a massive celebration that was going fully as planned, and the other is a play that was a total disaster. Celestia and Luna didn't need to help save the party, but was needed to save the play.

5:19 I guess Rainbow's power level has been increasing through training, so sonic rainbooms are now second nature to her. Next thing you know, she'll have to fight a literal god of chaos by turning into a god with the help of five other good-hearted ponies... Wait a moment, that sounds familiar.

That was one season before and nearly risked being banished to the moon/petrified/sent to Tartarus from the royal sisters three times in less than 2 minutes and then during sleep she risked losing her sanity for following her guts, so even she has been thanked (and suffering Twilighìs interrogation), the scare and emotional scar remained and led Glim Glam to be more cautious and fearful with dealing with the princesses (outside Twilight)

I know it's a children's cartoon show, but it honestly does frustrate me how much Twilight reverts back to her Lesson Zero psychosis in this episode. Lying to Celestia, ignoring Applejack's advice, thinking that canceling the show is a worthwhile idea, never actually asking Celestia how she might like to be involved with the show instead of simply casting her as the lead right off the bat.... It's almost as cringeworthy as those awful "acting teacher" ponies. XD
