>>42276182 (OP)Lesson Zero is funnier, has a better plot, and is also relevant to the entire show, as it marks the point where anyone, not just Twilight, can write to Princess Celestia.
Which is great because while in S1 it was somewhat understandable given that Twilight was the newbie to the friendship thing, forcing her to appear in every episode would be cringe in the long run.
The bad thing? I feel like the writers who came in later seasons borrowed too much from this episode to define Twilight's personality, and not her silly, sweet moments from S1
It's About Time is fun, but I feel like there's nothing real going on (yeah, that's ironic to say about this episode, lol).
I see it more as the S2 version of Feeling Pinkie Keen.
>the Twi-Pinkie dynamic where one is desperately serious about something and the other acts casual>lesson is not to take things so seriously; sometimes things just happenThat, and surely the idea of the whole time travel thing being just the hysteria of one character would have seemed particularly funny to the writers.
