I can believe that, and I'm willing to give the episode a shot. I'm also trying to be honest about my bias, though. The last episode was a CMC episode (something I usually am ambivalent towards at best), took its setting and many characters from my least favorite episode of the entire series (Over a Barrel), and had a weak synopsis accompanied by weak previews, and I largely enjoyed the end result. I still largely don't look forward to CMC episodes like I would something about Twilight or Applejack or (if only in my dreams) Celestia, but said bias did not warp or ruin my appreciation for what was an overall decent episode of a children's cartoon.
Granted, this episode has a much bigger mountain to climb because Keep Calm and Flutter On and Three's a Crowd were just
bad, but I'm ready and hoping to be surprised.
