Two things. The scripts had been finalized back during season 1. Secondly, you forget her previous works are quite similar.

Yo dont speak for the whole fandom! Dont put words in all our mouths. Everyone over there has stated that they still are aiming the show towards its original demographic. Ya someee things will change cus of bronies, but not the whole freaking style. And also, if im right, the beggining of season 2 was being created riiiight after the end of season 1..which was before the brony explosion

Lauren Faust isn't even working on the show anymore. So what was the point of this?

seriously though, the people who made the show love us. they don't pander to us as much as people think. lots of people loved that episode and think it's the kind that are best kept in moderation but still good.

plus, apologizing for memes and overcriticizing? who do you think these people are? they're professionals. they have dealt with far worse and are not petty enough to devote a whole episode to a "screw you" directed at us.

I'll admit it hit the crazy juice a little too hard, but it wasn't that bad.
And besides, this fandom has plenty of merits to overcome its inevitable unpleasant parts, like every fandom.

actually the brony "explosion" was in February. they wrote the scripts keeping us in mind, but they didn't write the scripts FOR us.

Seriously? There was no chance they made the episode, oh, I don't know, 'cause it's their job?
Did you consider that?

I agree. A good episode, but one like that in a season will be enought.

personally, if they tone it down a bit, I could handle 1 or 2 more of those kinds of episodes... but not much more than that.

while i agree that the fandom is prolific in its work, i dont belive it should be apologized for, as all the art here is a expression of our passion and imagination.

i also dont belive that lesson 0 was a jab at the fans in anyway, it was simply another episode were a charecter has her worldview shaken

Lauren has already said that these episodes were written months ago, before season 1 ended and the fandom exploded.

How exactly was that episode to the Brony fandom I fail to see anything analogous to that subject in that episode.

"True fan"... fuck I hate that phrase I cannot fucking stand people with egos so over inflated that they believe that THEY should define how a show/piece of media should be enjoyed.

It's a shame that some people think like this. Some bronies like cupcakes and gore, some like shipping, some spread memes, some are furries and some simply enjoy the show, but what is importantant is that averyone loves ponies. We may show it in different ways, but the truth is that we are all bronies and should learn how to respect the diferencer between us. This is what love and tolerate means to me.

Hey, it was only fair. Every main pony had a freakout episode featuring her but Twilight.

(Actually, Fluttershy might have two, but...you get the point.)

Obviously, the OP never had to panic a day in her life. We've all had panic and anxiety attacks.

To the school-age/high school/college brony, I refer to Essay Crisis, Mid-term Madness, Term Paper Terror, etc.

All conditions of panic were shown here. Sure they went for comedic extremes, but I imagine we've ALL felt the panic she felt.

Celestia knows how many times I had to turn in papers and reports on deadlines and how crazy I went... In the end, Twilight should've just gone to Lotus & Aloe's for a destressing spa treatment.

Whoever made this... you're making it very difficult to love and tolerate you.

I understand that you're afraid of some sort of judgment or punishment. But you're manifesting that fear -- which is entirely baseless -- as a craven attack on bronies. Cut it out!

I liked this episode, it remainds me the good old days of cartoons when anvils fly all over the place, characters became insane evrey 5 minutes and every crazy thing could happen. Dear sister people like you ruined Tom and Jerry, also people like you almost killed Warner characters

@cthulhlu Well said!

Also, I don't think the crew is stupid enough to ever do real fanservice. Stuff like Derpy Hooves is a fan TRIBUTE, IMO, not fanservice. This fandom is easily the most incredible, and probably the most creative I've ever seen. I don't really like the NSFW stuff too much either, but I think it's an inevitable part of any fandom, and that it's probably just a way certain people like to express themselves. As long as they don't make all the the fandom look bad, what's the big deal?

Some fans just need to cool it down (no pun intended), and enjoy each episode for what they are, instead of getting so insane over them.

And to those who have used bad words in the comment section (#565294 really??)...well, I sorta wish you wouldn't. One reason I love this fandom is the lack of hate they express (MOST of the time...). This person just needs some love and tolerance. ;) After all, they can think what they want....just wish they would do their research into the inner workings/behind the scenes of the show more....it's a bit of an insult to the crew otherwise. :P

@PVRyohei EXACTLY. Beautifully put. I think that your comment says it all, so thank you for saying that. :)

First off, this ep is in my personal top 3, easily. Best pony at her finest.

But to play devil's advocate, while I think OP is a bit misguided, I can kinda see where they're coming from. The creators have stated in interviews that they love pushing these ponies to their breaking points (and a large sector of us bronies love it too). This is all well and good, but there's some dangers.

1) Pandering to the bronies. This particular ep was likely written pre-brony movement, and we have the creators at their word that they'll stick to their original formula, but no good will come from letting us drive.
2) Overusing it. In the past 6 straight eps (24-29), we've had Spike feeling so unloved that he runs away, Pinkamena's Party of One, Flutterrage and the other Gala breakdowns, Discorded ponies, and now Twi's Lesson Zero. Breakdowns are awesome, but not mandatory every episode. Which leads to...
3) Jumping the shark. When you first started MLP, did you expect to eventually see Fluttershy's rage in Dragonshy? Twi evolve into Rapidash? Any of the examples in my previous point? They're continuously pushing the envelope, which is awesome, but there's a risk that by season 3, they'll eventually go off the deep end, and change this from a show about friendship into a study on psychological disorders.

Am I actually worried about any of this? No. Faust knew what she was doing, and the show is in more-than-capable hands. But they're valid concerns to have.

They lost me when they started on their inane "to be a true fan you need to be a fan of ALL seasons and generations" nonsense. To each their own, babe, but being a true fan doesn't necessitate having bad taste. I'm a Transformers fan, and I have been since G1, but that doesn't mean I can delude myself into thinking G1 Transformers wasn't 99% trash. I can only enjoy it today through nostalgia goggles; but I can't similarly enjoy any previous MLP generation since I never watched it back in the day.

I wish she'd gone into specifics about what she did to contribute negatively to the fandom. Make a Big Mac dildo? Write some clopfics, or one of those 2nd person things? Inquiring minds want to know!

I fail to see how the recent episode is in any way a satire of the fandom. Being an obsessive workaholic is just part of Twilight's character; this isn't anything new.

New episode was fucking epic. Every minute was awesome. New episode is best episode. Kung Fu Fluttershy was the best damn thing I've ever seen. It's like we wrote that part. Also more Ditzy was brilliant.

Was this really just made by some random Ponibooru anon being stupid? Not sourced from somewhere else?

Regardless, speak for yourself. You ain't the fandom. And get off your high horse with this "true fan" shit.

Is she even looking at this mess?

Good to see that the fandom has tossed out that stale old 'love and tolerate' nonsense and is back to being everything a good Internet fandom should be. Overly sensitive and easily trolled.
