I didn't like that at all.
I didn't really care for a Diamond Tiara redemption. I mean, I kind of like how they showed how her family life is what lead to her being a jerk, but I think they went way over the top with her mother. Having her be a bit stuck up and classist could have worked, but it was just too much and became really unbelievable. But the big problem with redeeming Diamond Tiara is that it's pretty much the end of her character. What do you do with her now?
I found all of the songs to be pretty bland and forgettable at best, and kind of annoying at worst, which is too bad because they made up the vast majority of the episode.
But I really didn't like the crusaders getting their marks the way they did. All three getting the same mark at the same time for the same thing really rubbed me the wrong way. I think it really took away their individuality. A cutie mark is supposed to be about a special talent and showing ones special and unique talent. By giving them all the same mark, it really takes that away, especially when we've seen them developing real talents and skills.
I dunno, I guess I just think it was a bad episode.
