S09E11: Student Counsel

Post by Wayoshi (?) » Wed Jun 05, 2019 10:10 am

Starlight Glimmer relishes her role as school counselor and encourages the students to come to her anytime about anything, but when always being available becomes too much, she becomes overwhelmed.
This thread is for discussion of the episode. This episode airs at 11:30 Eastern / 8:30 Pacific on Saturday, June 8!

Official preview clips and images are okay to post, as is speculation about the episode. Spoilers from non-US releases are NOT OK to post.

I hope the students overthrow her, like the kids in that movie Heavyweights did to Ben Stiller.

Hopefully this will be a Student Six episode that is above par.

Maud was definitely the MVP of the episode. She had all the best lines. :maud:

I enjoyed this one. We had a nice mix of characters. This might be the largest cast we've seen in an episode with no Mane 6. :ponder:

You have to love Trixie, she has such an atitude. Image

Maud was great and some of the other characters got some good lines off as well. Image

I need to rewatch it to decide whether Silverstream needed a little more attention, but everyone carried the episode well. Genuine humor goes a long way, and so do secondary cast members. Haber's one of the few writers who's been around long enough to do something like that.

:roll: Maybe if Twilight had a single full-time teacher at the school, overworked staff wouldn't be an issue.

One of the best secondary character ensemble episodes the show has had. Good way to bring together the squad SG has assembled in her time in Ponyville. Maud stole the show, as usual.

With student / counselor ratios over 400:1 at many 9-12 schools, there's a lot of Starlight Glimmers out there (the recommended ratio is 250:1 but why would that ever be funded in America?)

Okay, it’s time to watch my next episode AS IF NOTHING UNUSUAL HAS HAPPENED SUCH AS THE SHOW ENDING. The preview pic shows Starlight and Trixie so I’m giving this one a preliminary A+ which I feel confident about.

• A house arrest bracelet! All the former villains should get one! Oh wait no, it’s a magical emergency doodad. As a side note, those picnic snacks look really tasty. :yum:
• Oh, and of course she made the bracelet herself. That’s pretty Starlight of her, “I’ll just use powerful magic to solve the problem, DONE.”
• Kinda cool to see Trixie’s become an accepted Ponyville pony who, like, knows people and has conversations.
• Ha ha, Trixie being the one who called Starlight is fantastic. :lol:
• I am totally Starlight. I could never connect with Twilight’s hyper-organized style (that’d be my mom) but Starlight being disorganized, fucking up and disappointing everyone, that I get.
• Ha, and Trixie does not care Silverstream is missing. :eyeroll:
• Even Maud gives a raised eyebrow. She’s steamed.
:maud: “A search party.”
• Trixie: “I have a lot of experience telling ponies that I have a lot of experience!”
:maud: “You complete me.”
• Edith the Cockatrice has a really cool design.

That was a fun one! Had a good lesson about boundaries and balance, and it’s always great to see Team Starlight. I stand by my A+. :twiright: Maud was far and away the MVP of this one. Yay Maud!!! :maud:
