I don’t like weighing on whose fault it is that the episode turned out this way. You can argue whether it was corporate meddling or just time constraints, that this was mashed into that and suddenly Alicorn Twilight, but it’s all irrelevant. What’s happened has happened, that’s for them to learn from. What matters to us is what happens next.
I agree that Twilight’s coronation would have made a fine end to the entire series, if there was more build-up to it. If she had done more to deserve it. Ever since Sweet and Elite, I’ve had the idea that the Mane Six would gradually branch out, not splitting apart but each going their own way, and each earning new friends. They could have had several seasons to develop these new characters, which could have resulted in a climactic event to bring them all together. The many bonds forged, tested and ultimately unbroken over time and distance would have been a much, much greater display of the Magic of Friendship than…whatever this was, was.
As for what’s ahead, there is something to derive from princess life. We could see Twilight practice proper etiquette, exercise wise decision-making in critical situations, and once again prove her leadership when she’s needed most. But that could only last a few episodes, and then it’s back to being Twilight. But is she going to be Twilight? Is all the princessing going to strain her relationship with her friends? We’ve all seen the episode, a cast member becomes a celebrity and they end up driving their friends away, either by suddenly becoming arrogant and unruly or by simply being too busy being famous to do anything else.
Actually…that could be how they undo it. The royal agenda becomes too much for Twilight to bear, and her friendships suffer to the point that their links to the Elements of Harmony threaten to break. They decide that her princesshood is not worth sacrificing her friends and the elements, so Celestia returns her to normal. At this point I’d prefer that they stick by their work, but if the writers are intent on bringing old Twilight back, this is one way they could make it make sense.

I’m starting to think that this was all a carefully layed-out test for Twilight. They
gave her a difficult scenario, which they might have made even worse on purpose (I honestly doubt that dashie was the only pegasus around who could do the weather job, for example), to make Twilight’s task even harder.
Even further, they possibly wanted to make her an alicorn for some reason, then to give it an excuse they cooked up a test that they were sure that Twilight can solve (which is hard enough to deserve the reward).
They tamed Discord first, then gave Twilight more power. Something might be coming, something big that will need a huge amount of power to surpass. Could it be a foe mightier than all the villains so far combined? Or some other apocalyptic scenario? We’ll see it in Season 4, so let’s stay tuned!

If I had to take a guess at how the episode turns out, Twilight willingly giving up her princess powers is actually some final test before starting on advanced magic training or w/e.

Not to mention it could agitate some of the testing equipment. Ie cause them to explode.

Glanced over fanfic:
“I’m sorry, but my tests are conclusive and I have no doubt. You have Necrotic Nimbus Cancer”
“It’s a rare Pegasus wing defect that means you will never be able to fly again, your wings are useless and one day the virus that is causing this will spread to your body and you will pass away”
Ooh..

Please be advised that a noticeable taste of blood is not part of any test protocol but is an unintended side effect of the Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grill, which may, in semi-rare cases, emancipate dental fillings, crowns, tooth enamel, and teeth.

looks like an Animation test from a Pixar or Dreamworks movie

Sym-bionic Titan… Another reason I hate CN for canceling a good show before it’s time (bad mood over Young Justice); and how the heck Johnny Test gets another season?!?
