Build commie blocks!
I really dug it, with the ending catching me by surprise (sleight of hand; Genius!).
 
Overall, I don’t think we’ve had a ‘meh’ episode so far in this season (in my opinion)

Absolutely loved the episode. The opening particularly stands out to me. I think it’s the first that actually left me on the edge of my seat before the theme song even began. Definitely the best episode of the season so far.
^Like I said, I don’t mind at all.  
But there was Fluttershy in a tree, lyrabon, trixie return, magic action, genderspells, starwars references ect. ect. Even if half of the stuff was pure coincidence that is still a lot more “winks” to the older fans than usual.
Overall, I loved it. I still probably place Too Many Pinkie Pies above it as best of season 3, but right now, it’s definitely up there.
 
The redemption maybe needed just a little more, but that’s my only complaint. I feel like the episode covered all the bases for Trixie: a rival to Twilight, revenge for Boast Busters, her redemption, and even some adorkable-ness at the end.
 
Also, best line of season 3: “I don’t trust wheels!”

It's a cartoon show!
Good episode felt the resolution with Trixie could be a bit more organic at the end. I think we’ll see her at least one more time over the course of the series.

Age speels have limited duration. Or else we would see a lot of unicorns with thousands of years.  
Where did Twi broke the 4th wall exactly?
list of things I now consider canon:  
  • Hooves having the same color as the coat of a pony (except when shaved)  
  • Age changing spells.  
  • Horses. Not sure about their relation to ponies, but seem willing to give diplomacy a try.  
  • Zecora knowing a lot about magic.  
  • (for a moment) Rule 63. Why couldn’t it stay canon!?!  
  • Twilight breaking the fourth wall.  
  • (sort of) the word Alicorn.
     
    All in all, a nice list of things to be added to my headcanon.
I liked it. Trixie kind of made peace with the Mane 6, she didn’t leave as badly as she did in her first episode, and she kind of learned a lesson; winners don’t use magic artifacts.

I think that was a great episode. From Fluttershy with the animals to Trixie tripping at the end. Great solid episode.

It’s the duel Ponyville deserves, but not the one it needs right now.
 
Sorry, just watched that last night and couldn’t resist
Well, Trixie was accused of boasting, not doing trickery and illusions, and for that matter I don’t remember her doing any illusion.
@A Sad Pony
 
I don’t see illusion and trickery, in this context, as an inherently bad thing at all. I think the main difference between when Trixie used it and when Twilight used it was the motive. That old axiom about judging a soldier by what they fight for and all that.
 
Trixie used illusion to prop up her own feelings of grandeur and pomp. Twilight used it to save her friends/town.
 
That’s my 14 cents. (inflation)

probably, I don’t like Trixie but I don’t hate her before this she was only in one episode and she didn’t even do anything horrible in it

And I also agree with hoers. It was a good moral, getting help from your friends and whatnot, but I fear that it may be overshadowed.
