OK, this is shaping to be a great episode.

Rainbow highlighting everything and drawing Twilight

:-/ Hey, I'm not tall!

(Is that an injoke on Twilight getting taller?)
(and why did that book have a fold out?)

Rainbow, Owlicious, and Spike having a musical jam. That was so out of nowhere :lol:

Yeah, all this and it's just the first act.

"That was pretty terrible."

And that was a quote, not a disparaging remark about Pinkie's rap (which was amazing).

Alright AKR did an episode as good as Filli Vanilli, without any real dark cloud over it. Makes my top 5 for the season probably.

Also I see Shy testing out the highlights to get ready for Rainbow Power

This episode was just perfect in every single way! Rainbow Dash got some excellent character development, showing a loss of confidence not seen since Sonic Rainboom. Best Rainbow Dash this season! :v:

And Twilight. OMG, Twilight. I know people have been hard on her this season, but as far as I’m concerned, this episode was a return to her roots in spectacular fashion! Seriously, this is the geeky pony that I love so much! :flattered:

And everyone else was just tops! Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie were all on top of their game - and yes, I enjoyed the rapping stuff. It wasn’t the most hilarious thing ever, but it was pretty good. The play was super funny. We learned a little bit of history. And the way in which Rainbow’s friends helped her learn was heartwarming to the max. :allears:

I was expecting an enjoyable and fun episode. What I got was pony at some of its very best! :-D

This episode was absolutely beautiful. I have ADD, so this episode really spoke to me on a personal level. It is now, in my opinion, the best episode of season 4, and the second best episode of the show overall.

Oh yeah, and Pinkie rap was awesome. :-P

I'm still not crazy about the rap, but damn if the rest of the episode wasn't great. :yay: :awesomedash: :wingsright:

Finally RD gets a good episode this season. It had a nice lesson about people learning in different ways, had tons of cute moments and great jokes. It's begging for a freeze frame rundown.

AKR and Josh Haber are both 3/3 for great episodes this season. They win Season 4.

That was the best. :awesomedash:

Old school Tsparx, the return of Dash's crushing insecurity, animal history play, canon Firefly, worldbuilding... this is close to the top of my list for this season. :yay:

Was this episode basically a stealth story about dyslexia? Kinda felt that way, and in a good way.

I love the lackadaisical approach to product placement the writers/storyboarders take towards the show. :v:

That's easily Rainbow Dash's best episode yet, possibly one of the best of the series. But I feel like I've been saying that for almost all of the back half of S4. :-I Even though this episode had all of the Mane Six appearing, I think it actually did well with the other four, even down to Applejack being all about apples. S4 has had trouble with that so I'm glad they all came out well here.


Further congratulations to the animators. The number of visual gags (including Rainbow Dash's doodles, gonna need screenshots of those), the various costumes and flight suits, Princess Flutterlestia, and the entire rap sequence were really great as well.

Apart from winged Twilight, this could have been a S1 episode. And that is very high praise in my book.

Also, I'm not officially admitting it, but I may have felt some feels when we see the whole town came out to help Dash learn.

I liked this one very much. We learned some things about Equestrian history, and it had some funny moments. I really liked the rewind scenes. And Twi showed she's still got some snark in her. :twiright:

Rarity as Luna was funny.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see Spike helping Dash catalogue the 'Bolts history. Unfortunate, but I guess his time to shine is coming up. :spike101:
