Trivia / My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S8 E14 "A Matter of Principals"

• Short Run in Peru: This episode aired on Boomerang in Australia on July 29, 2018, close to a week before it was scheduled to premiere in the US.
• What Could Have Been:
  • An animatic shows a reformed changeling amongst the pictures of historic figures that was replaced with a yak in the final cut. The picture was used elsewhere and replaced with a pre-reform changeling.
  • Nicole Dubuc had some early ideas for the episode that were changed along the way:
    • It was originally going to be patterned around Pride and Prejudice, with Starlight being too proud to ask for help, as she wanted to prove herself to Twilight.
    • Discord's initial reason for antagonizing Starlight would be because he couldn't accept that another reformed villain (who hadn't been around for as long as him) would be a better choice for substitute headmare.
