That's one thing I didn't exactly like how they played Twilight's Brother.

1. Not One Pony (her friends that is) Questioned that Twilight had a Brother. No "Whoa! You have a Brother?" or anything, they just accept it. I mean if I didn't tell my Friends I had Brother for the longest time they would go "WHOA since when?"

2. Twilight said in the "It's About Time" episode that she was surprised about the Guards letting her in the Star Swirl Room. Spike says it wasn't illegal to do so in that episode making Twilight a little more Hilarious, but Why would she even be surprised if her Brother is CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD. Even if she wasn't Celestia's #1 Student Her Brother probably told all of the guards if they see Twilight and they do something to her or do nothing to keep her from harm, He would probably hunt them down and gut them like a fish, since you know, He's Her Brother and He would do anything to not let her get hurt and he's you know CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD.

I m sure that I saw them in the background
