I really enjoyed “Student Counsel”, but im a HUGE starlight fan and enjoy ALL episode revolving around her (and Trixie when really lucky). Yeah, it was an obvious filler-episode, but i still thought it was quite good.
 
I did feel bad for Starlight, and trying to forced self-guilt apon herself for simply having a regular job that has designated working hours, with the rest of her time to be spent as she wants.!! (i really hated Terramar yelling at her for having scheduled hours, when HE didn’t even check her dorm first and instead decided to randomly search Maud’ cave so he could blame her for Silver Streams disappearance, hence why he INS’T in the picture, (that and im lazy)).
 
….whew… but anyway, still really enjoyed the episode, especially the Trixie-Starlight stuff at the start. Thought i still liked “Road to Friendship” better on a quality slice-of-life basis…
 
..Still hoping for more S+T episodes before the series closes:)
