Having seen the episode, reading IDW My Little Pony Friendship is Magic #59 was fun.
I like that they are turning their MLP media strategy into something more coherent. It will be interesting to see if, or rather how, the Movie will reflect upon Season 8.

There's lots of little horsey mannerisms and flat camera blocking that I liked in S1.

Uh, guys, I've been very busy over the past year and rarely have had time to chew episodes like I did in 2011, but - wow - the show keeps trying to improve itself.

By the way, on the moral of this episode: One of the (few) revelations from the big leak of this season's scripts was that every episode has a basic lesson spelled out at the beginning of the script. This week's was:

Friendship Lesson: Good friends make sacrifices for each other.

Agreed, but I'm still wishing they'd do a few of the more inventively horsey things from way back when like the annoyed tail-flicks :-/ :seethe:

I liked when RD clopped her hooves together while trying to think of an excuse to tell Pinkie. :awkward:

I chose butterscotch but it didn't affect the ending. Image

One of the things I liked during RD's explanation with her gross pie was Applejack rolling her eyes and Twilight giving an awkward smile.

:brash: "That custard was everything."

I like that line. Not an earth shaking quote, but it just sounds good.

Going into the episode, I actually had been expecting Rainbow Dash to be hating pies and lying about it, vs. how other folks ITT have mentioned that they thought it'd be a big misunderstanding. I wonder if that affected how I felt about this episode and if maybe I would've thought better of it had I not read the synopsis.
