Can I skip swarm of the century? Please? No...Fine.

This may be my least favorite episode. Let's get this over with as I love the episodes after this.

This episode is overall terrible as none of the characters act like they really are. This includes Zecora and Celestia, who are only in it for a few seconds. The writing is terrible. The exploration does nothing and NO ONE REMEMBERS THE LESSON! The only thing that this episode really has going for it is the animation of the parasprites and the fact that we use this term for our trolls now. Even then, this is an episode where nothing could save it. Now let's go to the details.

Okay animation of the episode is kind of nice. The parasprites are interesting and do look great with everything they do. When the characters round them all up it does look good as well but everything else feels terribly wrong. The writing here doesn't seem all that good and there is nothing memorable about it. The only lines that I like were Zecora's and that's because she is Equestria's Dr.Suess! There is nothing in the writing department that really adds to the case of it being good. Some of the lines said remind me this is a show for little girls, which so far only one line reminded me of that and that was back in ticket master. The lesson here was to understand a friend even if you don't understand them. You know when Twilight forgot this lesson? Feeling pinkie keen, which only happens 4 episodes from now! Then there are the way the characters act. First, so Fluttershy now has an animal she has never heard of? Even though she knows about every animal but the parasprite? What are they new or something? Further more if these things can cause so much damage wouldn't they have been written down in a book where Twilight would read about them? The fact that neither of the two know about them is really terrible as this is just a huge contradiction. Then we also have other characters like Celestia and Zecora. So if your watching the episode for the first time like I was then the only thing would be Zecora saying 'Have you gone mad?' as Zecora seems to never be rude. Even in Bridle gossip when the other ponies are calling her evil and an enchantress. However if your watching this after you have seen the rest of the series then that fact that zecora has no cure seems rather odd as she seems to know the cure for everything. Plus if Pinkie knew a cure that obscure wouldn't Zecora? Then we have Celestia who does nothing the whole time. The fact that she seems completely oblivious to the crisis at hand is ridicules. Now I do have an explanation to this and that is she is just trolling. She may have just said that there was a problem in another city may just be her saying 'I know what you did.' but I digress. Also if Twilight was having such a hard time fixing it, wouldn't Celestia save her like she did in Lesson Zero? Now like I said before are the parasprites new? The reason I think not is because Pinkie Pie knows as soon as she sees them how to fix it. The fact that no one listens to pinkie is kind of idiotic in itself but maybe that's because they haven't LEARN THE LESSON TWICE! Anyway I give the episode a D as the taste is terrible, the writing isn't good, and there are characters even as side characters who don't act like they should.
