> [@Tanbarkie](#): > > “Luna Eclipsed” has the potential, with rewatching, to end up in my top five. Indeed. There is nothing about this episode I didn’t love, aside from Pinkie callously hurting Luna’s feelings by acting scared of her. But even then Pinkie was way too funny and cute for me to stay grouchy. ---

> [@Lightray](#): > > Hey, Luna! But, boo, no Rarity. I kept expecting Twilight to realize that Princess Luna needed a costume and then they’d go see Rarity. _Particularly_ since they had a shot with Rarity’s boutique in the background. I understand there [was such a scene](http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1603670/2248019348) but it was cut. [QUOTE=fyre-flye] She was still working on her costume, and perfectionist as she is, it wasn’t ready. (I forget what it was.) There was a whole sequence where Twilight brought Luna to Rarity’s for a makeover, hoping she could give Luna a “softer,” less intimidating look. Rarity freaked out about get to dress up a Princess and over did it, covering her in the pinkiest pink princess get up ever. Luna disliked it and in taking it off, had a piece of the dress in her mouth. Pinkie showed up just at that moment and screamed that Nightmare Moon ate a princess and all the kids screamed and ran.

Pity. That scene would not only have avoided the puzzling Rarity absence, but would have reinforced that Pinky was playing at being scared. ---

Refreshing to have a relatively low-key, character-centric episode after the last few action-packed ones. And maybe I’m unobservant, but I honestly didn’t see the twist coming. ---

I remember Faust saying that they tried to have a balance of adventure-based episodes and relationship-based episodes. Perhaps they put many adventure-based episodes up front to hook people in at the beginning of the season. ---

No Twilight at all. Also, no Scootaloo. > **[Scootaloo's Gonna Scoot by HacePloder on DeviantArt](https://www.deviantart.com/haceploder/art/Scootaloo-s-Gonna-Scoot-267676584)** ---

No Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy either if I’m not mistaken. I was going to comment on the surprising lack of main characters but then I remembered that it’s a Sweetie Belle episode and I couldn’t remember if the main 6 were as present in the cutie mark crusader episodes. ---

Twilight’s been present in every episode up till now… even if it was the last thirty seconds in Stare Master. Scootaloo is, of course, relevant because this means they broke up the CMC for this episode too. Course, she’s the one without a sister. Anyone spot Derpy and/or Dinky this episode? ---

Me neither. [ANNOUNCEMENT: I now hate MLP:FiM, as Fox news has just informed me that watching it will turn you in to a infantilised giant fraudster.

Every time I think FOX news can’t be less credible, they somehow dig deeper. I am really missing new songs this season. I know there’s one coming up soon, but five without one makes me sad, even though the episodes have been good. ---
