A lot of people have said that Starlight yelling at Trixie was a little harsh, (which it might have been), but I think it was justified.  She is the school's guidance councillor.  Therefore, she cares for all the students and takes their safety very seriously.  When something happens that puts them in danger, she rightfully get's pissed.  Plus it was something Trixie needed to hear, which brought her around to having the good idea for Starlight to hire Sunburst.

Agreed. Plus, Starlight IS known for her tough love approach and snapping at other ponies from time to time, so it's very consistent with her character. She snapped at Luna and Celestia once, for crying out loud.


Way to predict Sunburst, Trixie being counselor, and "Phyllis, no!"

Dude's awfully good at predicting stuff.
gasps!
PonyBro is clairvoyant!

@@daydreamsparkle1262I know his secret… he’s PSYCHIC


Bloomberg: Phyllis is trying to replace me.   😥


How cool it is that every character we know is finding their place in the world. Twilight as wind to the Canterlot throne, her friends being the protectors of Equestria, the Young 6 filling in their roles as the new spirits of the Elements, and now Starlight running the school with Sunburst and Trixie as staff members. The future looks bright for these guys.


15:49 Can we take a moment to appreciate how Trixie's magic is actually really strong to being able to do that? o.o


@@West-rk7dz na the place ended up all fucked up, a fight happened, they all dead.


Man, I still can’t believe Trixie’s character growth. I mean, she literally went from being a show off to a student counselor at the school of Friendship.

I'm so glad that Hasbro brought her back in season 6 and after that they never forget about her again.


Somewhere I heard that caring for plants is a good hobby for those who like to control other people's lives. So there is nothing surprising in the existence of Phyllis


Starlight is basically Trixie’s rock.

Trixie doesn’t have those morals without her.

So what you mean is... Rarity has Tom, Maud has Boulder... and Trixie has Starlight?

Shritistrang Pretty much keeps her grounded.


As unqualified as Trixie is (guidance councilor is definitely much more her forte), you've gotta admit that her "field trip" was actually a pretty unique and creative idea to allow students to experience dangerous places without actually going to them; if she hadn't accidentally brought in a spot with flash bees her efforts would have been well appreciated.

Her only mistake was not scouting out the area to be teleported more thoroughly.

Also, it's pretty cool how Trixie's abilities have gradually improved ever since she befriended Starlight, much like how Twilight's magic (as Celestia's pupil) gradually got stronger throughout the early seasons.


Don't worry Philis is okay it's scriptted


18:25 The fact that S1E1 Twilight would have never imagined saying these words show how much her character grew 🥰


You're the only reactor I saw who actually predicted Trixie as guidance counselor. You've got some prophetic powers! lol


9:29 - I love the way how you translating these lines to us 🤣


This episode shows how long starlght has grown seans season 6. back then she would be really irresponseble and would really on magic to do the job like in every little thing she dose. Or not tell trixie what shes doing wrong like in all bottled up.


It sure is a good thing that Starlight got Trixie to work a the school after all. For a second there, she was worried that she wouldn't have someone to make out with in the teacher's lounge. XD

And Sunburst... doesn't have enough <i>experience</i> to fill that position.

And Sunburst... doesn't have enough _experience_ to fill that position.

Narrator007 she meant that now that trixie is guidance  counsellor she can do that lol


I don't think the writers really understand what it means when a pony "winks."  But then again, this is Starlight and Trixie, so maybe they do understand.

The last time I saw a mare winking that much, I was watching a stud farm documentary.


2:51 - You were burping to the rhythm of the song 🤣🤣🤣


Trixie got the short end of the stick on the testing. Of all the supervisors, Grandpa Gruff is easily the most hostile. And when teaching, you have teaching elements, teaching elements, teaching elements, teaching elements... And history.

Like yeah, she's obviously inappropriate as vice-principal, but she still got an unfortunate deal.

You could say she was dealt a bad hand-- er, hoof.


I was surprised that they actually name-dropped Dr. Hooves in this episode.


Glad to hear you love this season, and yeah, this episode is really good, they even paied attention to small details. Although trixie isn't a counsler guidance material in my opinion.


I never pay attention to the background ponies, but this episode make me like Octavia. I love this scene 7:25


This is a pretty good episode. It's great to see Starlight taking up responsibilities. Trixie and Starlight have a great dynamic. That ending is just great.


7:25 "Silverstream playing the sax."
While also admiring the oral technique of the stallion trombonist seated behind her.  ;)

Dang, dude, I never noticed that before.  If you pause it at just the right moment, she's definitely giving him a look that seems... interested.

21:53 Theory: Bloomberg mind controlled Trixie and defeated his rival descendant in order to maintain the equilibrium of power in Equestia.


It's okay everyone! Kelly Sheridan, Starlight's voice actress, said on Twitter that Phyllis is okay.<br>Speaking of Kelly Sheridan, I think I miss her and Starlight the most, especially if it's only the Mane Six and Spike coming back for Pony Life. Her lines, especially her rant to Trixie in this episode, were just great.

Starlight is the turning point for the franchise passing from kids show to young adult show, plus she is great to create new stories outside the Mane 6 (after every little thing she does her relationships outside Twilight drops to zero regarding Mane 6).
 She explores the second circle of friends like Maud, Discord and the two princesses and adding a boost as character growth to Twilight between Season 7 and 8.
On a positive note, if Pony Life screws things she could be used to save the sunking boat or at least not be damaged by fallout of flame wars.


She killed Philis, Call the Cops! Call the Doctor! Wait I am the Doctor


Dude, are you sure you're not writing the show? You predict so much stuff.<br>You could actually write a fanfic.

17:50 Starlight goes too far... Buuuuut she is not wrong.


the only thing I'm not a fan of in this episode is the fact that it kinda shows off how frustrating (and I'm being nice with that word choice) Trixie can be

I agree, but we already knew Trixie could cause enough disappointment and rage to fill three people.

Trixie: Frustrating?? Don't you mean GREAT AND POWERFUL!?!?


I love how Phyllis got added to the Gods list literally immediately. Boulder, Twiggy, and Bloomberg all took at least a little while.

It makes his attempted murders all the more shocking.


According to Starlight's voice actress, Phyllis is fine: https://twitter.com/KSheridanVoice/status/1179555705684029440


Why can't there be a Vice-vice headmare, so Doctor Whooves and Octavia


Big Mac has quite a lot of work to do bucking apples doesn’t he?


I am still vexed Starlight didn't consider me to have a post in this school..But after what i have done in A Matter of Principals, i probably should've expected that...

@@Narrator007 I don't know what you mean...Fluttershy is a teacher, how could she find me a position in the school?

Trixie is better than you, deal with it.


She has buildings named after her? The Spoiled Rich Elementary School. The Spoiled Rich Memorial Hospital. (Sorry. Wishful thinking.)
