I expect a babby horse, but who knows. Maybe they're announcing a rivalry with Canterlot for the capital of Equestria.

That comic book Spike burned was Action Comics #1, the issue that Superman made his debut in. Copies are rare, ranging from $1 to $3 million.

Good job, Spike :-I

I think I'm going to wait until Monday to do my freeze frames, that Back to the Future countdown was pretty obstructing.

The scavenger hunt was so cute, man. :allears:

:rant: WE GET IT YOU LIKE BOOKS

This was a fun episode. Pinkie eps always deliver the good times and better expressions. :party:

Dammit Spike for toasting Action Comics homage comic :eep:

Also, evil Mane 5 and Spike balloons :twonk:

Pony keeps cranking out the hits. :allears:

I liked the scavenger hunt myself. It reminded me of The Amazing Race. :awesomedash:

Nevermind. There is going to be character development in this. Shining Armor kills Spike and is sent away. Cadance raises the baby on her own. :gotcha:

That's something I think this episode did really well. Despite having the time for lots of gags (like the flashback with Pinkie Pie agreeing to help Carrot Cake with the deliveries), this episode still managed to go at a very quick pace without also feeling rushed. G. M. Berrow did a great job with the writing.

On the other hand, considering Owl's Well That Ends Well, this sure ain't the first time he's accidentally burned literature.

It sure is a good thing that next week's episode, instead of this one, is the one that got leaked weeks ahead of time. If we'd seen the CMC with their marks well ahead of time then keeping that secret would be about as hard as Pinkie Pie keeping the secret here.

I was waiting for the shoe to drop and potentially a moral to be given at the end, but Rarity's statement at the beginning of the ep ended up completely sticking. This episode was more about watching Pinkie get through this ordeal than anything else, which was cool but definitely a bit different

So I'm supposed to read the episode as Featherweight, Mayor Mare, and the furniture guy were also told for the scavenger hunt, right? Featherweight is a true journalist I guess, doesn't break a sweat with this secret. :v:

I just mentioned this in IRC, but yeah, I don't think this episode was meant to have too much of a moral. It's here more to tell a fun story while also setting up a huge thing for S6.

They didn't necessarily have to know the whole story. Shining Armor could have just told those three that he was setting something up for his sister and her friends. Carrot Cake and Cup Cake kind of had to know, though, since if they were making a cake decorated with a baby carriage on top, then that's a pretty dead giveaway.

Wouldn't have been a problem. That episode was pushed back, so the only problem would be them NOT having their marks.

Small spoiler for the Halloween Episode.

You can't even see their cutie marks with the costumes they have.

Anyway, still, if we had to keep the CMC mysteriously having their marks secret for several weeks then it would've been like the MMC lead-up all over again.

Well, Mayor Mare was definitely implied to know about it, the others might still be coincidences. ^^

I'm also impressed by how the animators keep finding new things to do with Pinkie Pie, like having her rolling into a ball and bouncing around or literally falling into pieces at the end. I imagine that they must look forward to episodes starring her.

Favourite odd little part of this episode: Rarity calling Pinkie Pie "Miss Pie" pretty much out of the blue.
