Yes indeed, Twilight's parents have different voice actors here, whereas the last time they spoke, they were played by Twilight and Shining Armor's voice actors.  Personally, I prefer the change.  I thought it was a little creepy when they sounded like their own kids.


The worse part of this episode that everything Iron Will did was legal


I feel i must mention that twilight mom is very magically powerful. Flying with magic is considered really advanced and she did it while floating two other people.

She must be where her son and daughter get their own powerful magic from.

@@supersonicheroesthey do share her magic color, so that makes sense


I really like this episode. Not just because it’s a Sparkle family story and the fact that Iron Will makes a comeback in the show, but because of the lesson. This episodes message of drawing down lines resonates with me because I’ve gotten into some situations where I felt obligated to spend time with a friend, even though I didn’t want to at times. So, this lesson helped me a lot in that department and I appreciate the MLP staff for making this kind of episode.

it was like a pony guy fell in love with twilight


Can we all take a moment to appreciate of much of a good brother/son Spike is? ^w^

lets all give a shoutout to twilight's brother spike

@@alexthehomboior son, I mostly think he's her son or sum

@@Scribbling_Scribblesthe 200th episode says otherwise

@@twist_ending7545 okay, still think he is her son tho lol

@@Scribbling_Scribblesfair, I guess Father Knows Beast and one of the official comics did imply that she's more of a mom to him.


So a couple of episodes ago, we delved into the dangers of neglecting your physical health for the sake of others. This one takes a same idea, but about mental health, much more touchy subject matter. When Twilight and Cadence talked in the third act, the complete lack of sugarcoating made it feel very real, among the most real the show has gotten in my opinion. That's the thing with this show. It can be cheesy sometimes, but it can get really serious seemingly out of nowhere. You never know which one it'll throw at you.

many ponies on the boat love twilight and cadance


Glad this is an episode focused on Twilight’s folks, who don’t appear often.

Star Tracker is also difficult to hate.

If i remember correctly Twilight velvet & Night light have only appeared 5 times before this episode.

I like her parents. They seem like a fun. I really like how much of a thrill seeker Velvet is in particular.

this episode was focused on twilight and her family

@@jasminkrieger8228 star tracker is like date crazy

No startracker is not difficult to hate. Not at all actually. Actually he's a creep.


These 2 must be the proudest parents in history. <br>After 5 seasons iron will returns, didn't see that coming.

After 5 seasons iron will returns, didn't see that coming.

One of their kids married into royalty, and the other <b>ascended</b> to royalty. That would make me the proudest parent in history.

@@fusionomni305 shining armor and cadance are good parents


I love that we got the chance to see more of Twilight's family all in one place. Especially her parents - they've been around since season 2, but we never really got the chance to learn more about what they're like before.

They actually first appeared in season 1, in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, but, if anything, that just makes you more right

@@brodericksiz625 You're right, of course. Thanks for the correction!


My ex called me toxic because I used to leave games when we were hanging out to sleep and take time to myself to actually eat to survive, I really needed to rewatch this because after that I was scared to say no to people and scared to stop hanging out with them even if I had to go to take care of myself in fear of being toxic or treating them badly. This show basically raised me on life lessons about friendship and this episode in particular (even though it came out after I had grown up a bit) taught me that I’m not obligated to do anything I don’t want to, sometimes I have to take care of myself before others and that doesn’t make me any worse of a person.


4:27 Twilight: "Dad, you're easy."
Twilight's mom (to herself): You can say that again!

(4:25) That schedule spreadsheet is something you definitely get at convention events like Comic-Con.


9:12 "If there's a Fluttershy cruise, that would be me."
Actually, you were be Star Tracker.


Im sure a good number of people could relate to Star tracker & I feel sorry for shining.


about startracker . . .  WE ARE LIKE HIM, you just don't know it yet , if you were about to spend a day with twilight. . .  well . . .

I like him better than clash sentry ir the other green haired dude lol at least hes cute

@@jasminkrieger8228 looked like star tracker had a crush on twilight


So since your almost done with the season (and sorry if this has already been pointed out) I'd recommend watching the Movie next as it is actually canon to the show and takes place between seasons 7 and 8


This is a great episode. The conflict is interesting. It's great to see Iron Will again. Star Tracker is interesting.


(17:07) I think my heart just skipped a beat. 😔


I'm glad that Iron Will has returned since Putting Your Hoof Down. I love seeing the entire Sparkle Family together <br>🦄🦄🦄😍😍😍🤣🤣🤣

12:52 "Back the f@$% up."
Star Tracker did that on purpose.  He knew that was going to happen.

He wanted to get a face full of dat ass 😉

@@winter2716 Being short has its advantages!

@@winter2716 why did you delete the comment?

@@Scribbling_Scribbles I didn’t delete any comment.

@winter2716  yes, you did. It says that I replied to your comment, and so did another person, and I remember your comment being there. So, yes. It was deleted. You might not see it, or something is wrong with my phone.

@@winter2716 He is referring to the comment to which I replied "Being short has its advantages!" 10 months ago,  @Scribbling_Scribbles replied "no" to the same comment, and you replied "Yes" to his reply.

I cannot see the original reply to my comment from over 3 years ago that the two of us were replying to, either.  If you did not delete it, @winter2716, then perhaps Youtube did.

@@Narrator007 im actually a female, lol.

@@Scribbling_Scribbles I should have known!  PonyBro is popular with the ladies.  :D


I love this episode. Is great seeing back again iron will


1:21 Talk about pushing the plot forward!


Twilight’s mom is played by the same person that did Ms Peach bottom.

I KNEW IT! I knew that voice sounded familiar!


Star Tracker is very young, I think, which excuses his behavior somewhat.

I’d guess he’s around 18 or so, so not <i>that</i> young.

I’d guess he’s around 18 or so, so not _that_ young.

@winter2716 or maybe underage. We don't know yet, and would never will probably.


What I don’t understand is the boldness and disrespect of the ponies towards their princesses.


I feel like Twilight Velvet and Windy Whistles will get along, not sure why though.


I don’t care what you say, PonyBro; I still think Star Tracker is adorable!


We got the whole twilight family and cadence this episode is amazing


When Spike offered to do Twilight's work while she was on vacation, I was saying "Don't pull a princess Spike."


Hot take but iron will did nothing wrong in either of his appearances

I believe a lot of people agree with you, actually. From a legal perspective, he was completely in the clear. Now, from a moral perspective on the other hand…


You shouldnt have said comets are astrological thingy twilight


The worst villain of my little pony: Angry Twilight


I don't remember was Twilight & star tracker a popular ship???

Not really, although it did get some fanart and fan fiction.

The best part about the ship was that people insisted on calling it "honorary incest".


Personally I hate this episode, but a lot of people like it, very polarising it seems.

What do you hate about it? Just curious.

Same. I really hate that startrakcer guy, and how creepy he is, and how her family didint care, neither when she was clearly upset and rubbing in her face how she should've seen the star. Cadence and spike are the only ones who really care.


Am I the only one shipping star tracker and twilight?

Nope just me, ok
Uuu and their ship name would be starlight or twitracker lol

I don’t know if I’d ship it, but they are cute together.

Fuck. No. The guy is creepy, and they barely even know eachother.


I kinda aggre. I really don't like how twilight had to apologize to that blue guy when he was being a fucking creep and being way too close to her, and he didint even apologize once. And how her family didint even care. Twilight is always misunderstood aswell.
