Thank you so much for understanding and saying that Pinkie isn't stupid. It makes me so upset when people believe that she is. Pinkie is so smart, she just lacks focus. So I'm glad you're someone who sees that as well.

[@SpacialRend7]

This episode was very interesting in my opinion because it focuses on trivia games, which are very fun depending on what the questions are based on (like Disney, video games, anime, etc). I didn’t get too annoyed with Twilight here because I can get a little competitive as well. Still, I didn’t appreciate the way she was treating Pinkie in her desperate attempts to get ahead in the game. Aside from her actions, I did enjoy the number of crazy expressions in this episode. Overall, I did have a good time with this one. Good reaction, an I’m excited to the next one too!

[@kuku8846]

Eyyy this episode was a lot of fun, despite Twilight and some of the other ponies getting a little cruel in their attempts to win. At least it was done in a funny way. Looking forward to seeing your reaction! xD

[@fusionomni305]

The only time it went over the line for me was purposely getting Pinkie disqualified. That was easily the most selfish and petty thing I've ever seen from her.

[@linkonar7823]

@@fusionomni305 It was and that was the point. Twilight was justified feeling frustrated and left in this hopeless state of mind when Pinkie was being a detriment (unfortunately she was) to her milestone and dedicated goal of winning one of her favorite and passionate activities for the third time in a row, and breaking a record. Twilight's action were supposed to be rude and seem mean, but putting everything together, it makes sense that she would take a bit of a dark turn in a desperate attempt to succeed in her goal, while yet ignorant to the idea that she shouldn't let this thing put a strain on not only her, but her friendships as well. I really like this, because it exemplifies the realism that it doesn't matter how much you've "learned" over years as time goes by, you're still never too old to keep growing and learning new things from the mistakes you'll make and I think they handled it pretty well here. I think it's perfectly OK for any character (or hell any person) to be "unlike" themselves as long as there is a solid reason depending on the circumstances for them to act the way they're doing, regardless if you like it or not. Not too many people realize something like this, but oh well.

[@fusionomni305]

@@linkonar7823 I think you misunderstood me. I wouldn't argue that this was out of character for her. I'd say it's plausible. By "over the line" , I didn't mean over the line of being too mean for her character. I meant over the line in what I am able to watch without being too put off. It was just painful to see her act like that.

Does anyone else think that Pinkie is Twilight’s stumbling block/polar opposite? Similar to Rainbow and Rarity in The End In Friend. From the beginning Pinkie has thrown Twilight off. She was the first of the mane six that Twilight said hello to and Pinkie gasped, jumped up and ran away causing Twi to become even more unsure about Celestia’s request to make friends. Twilight then tried to scientifically study Pinkie. Pinkie is also the pony that Twilight snapped at in the movie.

[@georgeharvey4226]

(Continued from my first comment.) 14:41-15:28 Twilight is now so focused on winning that she won't let Pinkie answer, even for a category she's an expert in. 14:50-15:05 That sequence of faces from Twilight XD. Also, Applegeek's reactions. 14:59-15:37 Twilight fools Pinkie into thinking there's a Confetti Appreciation Parade outside. 15:05-15:28 Another question I don't know the answer to as there's not episode reference. But Twilight and Pinkie know it. Also, Applepsychic. 15:16-15:35 That sequence of faces from Twilight XD. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 15:38-15:56 Twilight won't let Pinkie near the bell. 15:52-15:58 YOU'RE bananas Twilight: Twilynanas! Applegeek agrees with me. 15:56 Pinkie looking grumpy. 15:57-16:18 The next category is Sticks and Stones. No need to guess who the experts are on this one, right? Also, yes, that was a savage comment from Mud Briar. 16:08 Number of times Mud Briar says "technically": 2 16:16-16:39 Pinkie thinks she knows the answer to some rock questions. It turns out she doesn't - answers have to be specific and exact. 16:23-16:31 Another question with no episode reference. 16:39-17:47 Twilight gets an awful idea. She tricks Pinkie into asking Maud a question about rocks, which gets her disqualified. She's then able to form a new team with Sunburst thanks to leeways in the rules. Applegeek is right, that was REEEEALLY low! 17:31-18:10 Applegeek is peeved at Twilight. 17:57 Of course, the Twilight ballon floats away. 17:59-18:02 Twilight wanted Sunburst as a partner because he said he knew the Sticks and Stones category quite well. But now they're already moving on. 18:08-18:21 Sunburst notices Twilight is "out of the zone". Also, her line and eyes. 18:27-18:55 Episode reference: Twilight's Kingdom. Twilight and Applegeek only get it half right, but Twilight tries to justify why it should be a correct answer. I almost got it wrong, too. 18:28-18:30 Oh yes, Applegeek, she will. 18:37 Granny Smith's eyes. 18:37-18:48 Too late, Applegeek. 18:38-18:40 Sunburst's face. 18:40 Twilight's eyes. 18:41 Number of times Mud Briar says "technically": 3 18:48-18:59 Applegeek gets it. 18:58-19:14 A montage of Sunburst not letting Twilight press the bell. The shoe's on the other hoof now, isn't it? 19:10-19:14 Geez, how many questions does this quiz have? 19:14-19:20 Twilight pleads with Sunburst to let her take part again. Also, Sunburst's face. 19:20-19:43 Episode reference: Stranger than Fan Fiction. Fighting over the bell costs Twilight and Sunburst a point. Rainbow Dash and I get it right. 19:28-19:31 Rainbow Dash's face. 19:31 Applejack's eye-roll. 19:40-19:43 That line and face. 19:43-20:26 Sunburst almost tricks Twilight into getting herself disqualified - even though it would mean him getting eliminated too. Twilight calls him out and he's immediately regretful. So is she after seeing Pinkie. 20:02-20:12 Umm...you, Twilight. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 20:26-20:45 Cranky wakes up, which means he can rejoin Sunburst. I know, Applegeek, these rules are odd. 20:42-21:20 Twilight reconciles with Pinkie. 21:02-21:12 Applegeek and Pinkie say it for me. Also, Applegeek's reaction to Pinkie's sass. 21:18-21:40 It almost sounds like Pinkie doesn't forgive Twilight. But then it's revealed she made a Twi-Burst cake. Now it has to be Sun-Doodle. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 21:40-21:51 Twilight makes a big sacrifice. She can reform her team with Pinkie, as long as she starts the quiz at zero again. Pinkie says it for me. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 21:49-21:58 Twilight knows her chances of winning aren't great. But the chances of having fun are 100%. 21:58-22:00 Good question, Applegeek. 22:00-22:02 Nope. 22:01-22:16 Again, I don't know this one. Twilight and Pinkie get it wrong, but they don't care. 22:16-22:28 Aww, Derpy is locked out. And, yes, that is a pull-door - I checked. Also, Applegeek's reaction. He thinks it's payback for locking out the Mane 6 in Slice of Life. Overall, this was a really entertaining episode - despite its basic moral. I know some fans have a problem with it because of the way Twilight was acting. And I'll admit, I nearly hated her as much as Dash in the last episode. But unlike that story, this one has a lot more re-watch value for me. Like I said, there were too many weird and unusual faces to count, and the interactivity was brilliant. I wish there could've been more questions relating to past episodes - that would've been perfect for fans to test their knowledge of the past 9 seasons. Furthermore, I think the reason they pushed Twilight to Lesson Zero levels of crazy is because it's the last time they'll get to do so. The next episode is a real game-changer. You'll see.

Nothing would ever last there, which was a total shame because it once housed a really good Chinese food place and before that a good pizza place. Both never lasted long... So location, location and location.

[@7Seraphem7]

This ep, and the one after, are what made me really get at peace with the show ending. Becuase this ep was just so, damn, FUN! Just ridiculous, no-stakes, insane fun. But, it's getting so hard to push the characters to these over the top breakdowns, they've grown to the point, doing so gets a lot of pushback and can feel off. The characters have mostly reached the point where they are supposed to be too stable and mature for things like this to happen, no matter how damn hilarious it is.

[@Edward256]

I laughed so hard when they threw out all the shipping names! "Team AppleDash is unstoppable!" Which isn't totally wrong. Highest search result on derpi. XD It almost seems like the studio has RariJack and TwiPie as their favorite ships. And I believe that Sunburst wasn't too obsessed about winning, but did play it in that way to try and make Twilight see her error.

She is a good per...pony, but the cheering on others is her pasion just like Dash is with wining or Twilight is with order, and all of them can be good things, but they can become easily flaws just as bad as Twiligh now, i think she work later on to be more considerate with others but is a weird trowback to this personality quirk of her.

[@Silver-Arm]

I like Twilight acting like this here. It works because it's a trivial matter (the episode title is brilliant), she's not freaking out about something serious, it's just a game she's obsessed with. She has already proven she can calmly deal with real problems, she learned by experience, but she lowers her guard when it's just a game. It shows that she still have the same personality, even though she has grown. To be fair this message become clearer after watching the next episode, The Summer Sun Setback. This message only makes sense because we're in the last season. Even the damage caused by her mistakes were minimal, all it did was ruining the fun for a few people, mostly for herself.

[@GhalanSmokeScale]

Lesson Zero 2.0, Twili-Nanas, whatever you want to call it. doesn't matter to me, since for me, Twilight here was just extremely unlikeable. getting obsessed with winning is one thing, leaving one of your closest friends in the dust just for the chance of having a better partner is another one. her "realization" moment might as well not have happened if Sunburst didn't move as plot demanded and she got a view on Pinky.

You know what? I'm not even going to try. There are so many weird and unusual faces in this episode, I not even going to try counting them. I'm just going to say this episode broke Between Dark and Dawn's record for most in one episode and leave it at that. Though I may still mention a few here and there. Anyway, here are my highlights: 0:48-2:13 Spike is expecting Twilight to be in major prep-mode for Trivia Trot tomorrow. She could be the first pony to ever win it three times in a row. He prepares to tell her she needs to go to bed, only to find that's exactly what she's doing. She's still a bit Twilynanas, though. Also, Applegeek's reactions. 1:06-1:09 You could say that, yes. Lesson Zero times a million! 1:13 Is that a Vinyl Scratch shirt she's wearing? 1:40-1:45 Twilight wants to "stay in the zone...sleep in the zone, wake up in the zone and be totally in the zone tomorrow." Also, her eyes. 1:50-1:55 Twilight admits she's Twilighting, and is proud of it. Also, if I can be serious for a moment: I think we should do something as a fandom to commemorate the end of Friendship is Magic. What I think we should do is start a petition to have "Twilighting" added to the Webster's dictionary. "Twilighting - the act of becoming overly stressed and/or disorganised in response to big news." Or something like that. What do you guys think? 1:51-1:53 I noticed it first, Applegeek. 2:00-2:12 Spike says it for me. 2:08-2:10 Twilight hopping away. 2:45-2:48 Oh, I'm absolutely sure they did. 2:52-3:21 Twilight goes over the category rules, explaining how Trivia Trot is more than just "asking questions and answering them." Also, the number of times Twilight says "category." Also, Applegeek's reactions. 2:58-3:04 Wait, Hasbro made that game?! I guess that's another shameless plug on their part. 3:21-3:24 I wouldn't be surprised if she had, Applegeek. But she didn't. 3:24 Twilight trotting on the spot. 3:25-3:36 Trivia Trot is a team game. The teams are randomly selected to keep things fair. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 3:38-3:45 Twilight has made a chart of all the regular attendees; their strengths, weaknesses, and her chances of winning with each one. Among them are Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Bulk Biceps and Matilda. 3:48-3:56 Hi Amethyst, Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara. 4:03-4:08 Hi Cheerliee, Rose, Granny Smith and Dr. Whooves. 4:08-4:10 This week? How often does Trivia Trot take place? If it's weekly, what's so impressive about winning it three times in a row? 4:08-4:18 Twilight thinks every pony has a fair chance of winning. But she's confident it'll be her. 4:24-4:36 Yep, Sunburst is here too. He may not live in Ponyville, but he's a regular attendee. And he has the highest percentage of correct answers. Also, Applegeek's reaction - this is some serious competition here. 4:36 That horse noise. 4:37-4:44 Rainbow Dash's insult. 4:44-4:52 Fluttershy brushing Angel Bunny. Also, her eyes and sass. 4:53-4:58 Woah - I'm normally happy to see these two, but it looks like they're staring into our souls. Also, Maud and Mud Brair holding hooves. Also, number of times Mud Briar says "technically": 1 4:58-5:03 Hi Mrs Cake. 5:03-5:32 Twilight has a problem: Pinkie has chosen to play Trivia Trot for the first time and she hasn't accounted for her. 5:06 Twilight's eyes. 5:07 Hi Lyra. 5:11 Twilight's mouth. 5:14-5:17 I didn't notice that. It does sound like Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Doesn't it? 5:32-5:48 Nobody likes being told a game is "just a game." Twilight is no exception. 5:45-5:50 THIS-IS-TRIVIA-TROT! Also, Applegeek's reaction. Also, Granny Smith appears out of nowhere. 5:50-5:54 Granny Smith is the MC. Also, yes, that is an adorable bowtie. 5:54-5:57 Hi Bon-Bon. 5:57-6:09 Twilight sends Spike outside with a chart. 6:15-6:32 The teams are Sunburst and Cranky Doodle, Dr. Whooves and Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Matilda, Fluttershy and Bulk Biceps, Maud and Mud Briar, and Twilight and Pinkie Pie. Twilight is not happy. 6:26 "AppleDash" - Twilight just name-dropped a shipping name there. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 6:29-6:31 I give up. Applejack and Rainbow Dash will never stop competing. Twilight thinks this will help her chances. 6:33 Twilight's smile. 6:36-6:42 Twilight doesn't think Fluttershy and Bulk Biceps are a threat. 6:42-6:44 Actually, there are only four ponies left, Twilight. 6:48-7:03 Everyone is shocked that Maud and Mud Briar have been paired up - especially as it seems to happen every week. Applegeek suspects cheating. 7:03-7:07 Twilight writes so fast her paper nearly catches fire. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 7:07-7:13 Twilight's face. 7:24-7:27 Pinkie's face. 7:28-7:33 Twilight's smile and twitchy eye. 7:33-7:36 I have no doubt that you're right, Applegeek. 7:52-7:59 Twilight and Pinkie Pie balloons. Twilight stops herself floating up to the ceiling. Also, why does she have scissors in her saddle bag? 7:50-7:55 Seriously? I thought that pun WAS intended, Applegeek. 7:54-7:59 Pinkie drops all the shipping names: "Twinkie", "Pink-Light", "Sparkle-Pie" and "Twi-Pie". 7:58 Pinkie's eyes. 8:00-8:03 THAT FACE XD - Applegeek almost chocks on his red bull. 8:03-8:20 Twilight explains to Pinkie why today's Trivia Trot is so important to her. Pinkie reassures her she'll have the "best-est and most funnest teammate ever." 8:20-8:22 Sparkles. 8:22-8:24 Pinkie's rapid bell-pressing. 8:26-8:39 Twilight decides to make the most of Pinkie being her partner; coaching her as they go. 8:39-8:44 Pinkie brought an air-horn. 8:50-9:14 Spike volunteers to the keep scores, even though Applejack and Sunburst tell him it's an intense job. It sounds like they're setting up for a gag at the end of the episode, but one never comes. 9:02-9:12 I hate to say it, but it really feels like Starlight has been pushed to the sidelines this season. She's still seen and referenced, but her only significant appearance has been Student Council. And, yes, I know she has her own group of friends. But I miss those days when the Mane 6 felt like the Mane 7. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 9:09-9:14 "Apple bash." Also, Applegeek's reaction. 9:18-9:20 "Get ready to get squashed/squished." 9:23-9:35 The first category is literary figures. Of course, Twilight is happy. 9:35-9:39 Pinkie wants a high-hoof, but Twilight leaves her hanging. So she does it with herself. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 9:38-10:01 This is what I love about some of these questions: you can play along at home if you've been watching the series. Episode reference: A Hearth's Warming Tale. Pinkie gets it wrong; Applegeek gets it right. And so do I. 10:05-10:16 Apparently, you can get negative points in this game. 10:07-10:10 Twilight's sad face. 10:16-10:36 Twilight coaches Pinkie to sit still, be quiet, listen, and not get distracted or be distracting. Applegeek makes a good point. 10:37-10:40 Pinkie trying so hard to follow Twilight's advice. 10:39-10:58 Episode reference: various. Maud and I get this one right. 10:49 Twilight's face. 10:59-11:07 All the other teams are way ahead of Twilight and Pinkie. Twilight is worried. 11:08-11:21 Rainbow Dash thinks the contest is rigged when the category is Apples. Applejack calls her out because she didn't complain when the category was Wonderbolts History. 11:26-11:36 I have to admit, being Autistic, this happens to me sometimes, too. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 11:33-11:27 Episode reference: Family Appreciation Day. Fluttershy, me and Applegeek get this one right. Shockingly, Applejack doesn't. Then again, she was distracted by Rainbow Dash. Granny Smith isn't happy. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 11:41 That face. 11:42 Rainbow Dash's whistling. 11:53-12:06 Twilight, why don't you just ring in? 11:59-12:09 Pinkie's rumbling tummy costs her and Twilight a point. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 12:18 Applejack blushing beneath her hat. 12:36-12:47 Twilight is frazzled. She doesn't want Pinkie Pie to feel bad because she's trying so hard, but she doesn't think she can't her well enough to get her three-peat. Also, why can't you answer everything, Twilight? Applegeek agrees with me. 12:48-12:54 Pinkie swallows a plate. Don't question it, Applegeek. Also, her face. 12:51-12:53 Twilight's smile and twitchy eye. 12:52-13:01 Spike suggests Twilight only focus on how she's playing. But she decides to look at how everyone else is playing. 13:12-13:25 I don't know this one - there's no episode reference. It looks like Pinkie might've known it though. 13:26-14:01 Twilight calls Cranky out for sleeping. Apparently, if you do that during the game you're disqualified - and so is your partner. 13:31-13:41 Twilight's face. Also, the way she said "disqualification." 13:50-14:05 Sunburst isn't happy that he's disqualified. But Twilight is. 14:06-14:17 I think help from anyone is cheating, Twilight - you made a good call there. I can't believe Fluttershy would cheat when her human counterpart wouldn't (A Little Birdie Told Me). Also, why does she only lose a point when Cranky and Sunburst were disqualified for less? 14:17-14:24 That rule seems specific. Shouldn't it apply to any rude gesture? 14:24-14:39 Twilight tries to pass a new rule against "expressionless contestant" (i.e. Maud and Mud Briar). It's a bit offensive and doesn't get approved. Also, Applegeek and Granny Smith's reactions. 14:41-14:44 Twilight's face. 14:41-14:50 Pinkie and Applegeek's reactions to the next category. (Continued in my second comment.)

Serena : Who’s on Greek? (I’m on Vyond again.)

[@electricheartpony]

These last two episodes were really hard for me to watch, considering they're about my two favorite ponies. Especially 2 4 6 great...
