In my experience, saying someone worked at all the major companies in a certain field means it's because nobody can stand them and kept getting rid of them :-I

I thought it was Tara voicing the pony that sounded like Raven from Teen Titans, but it was apparently Andrea. :starity:

I liked the episode. I'm glad Sassy learned her lesson. And it was interesting to see a pony who makes Maud look dynamic. :maud:

Great Rarity song as always, too. :vogue:

Great stuff today. I'm really glad that the lesson wasn't about Rarity possibly having to be away from her friends; in fact, the other five all seemed incredibly happy that she was finally getting to do this.

With that said, I kind of wonder what the lesson really was. I doubt kids are to look at this and get ideas on how to run businesses, so if Meghan and the gang were aiming to convey any particular moral, it must be more abstract than that.

That sausage pony at the end was uh, interesting.

Anyway, I'm glad we have new ponies. Background ponies were good, too.

There are probably 10 good emotes that can be grabbed from the fashion stallion with the sunglasses.

I thought I saw that pony's head on her own cutie mark, but I wasn't sure if that's what I actually saw or if it was just my crappy TV obscuring the actual features of it. So I guess she's really good at being self-absorbed, then?

One thing I liked about this ep was how it focused exclusively on Rarity -- the Mane 6 were there only at the beginning and then left. It would've been easy to stick them in there to state the obvious and fill time.

Also, one other thing I really wasn't expecting was a song. Lots of my favorite songs throughout the series have been sung by her. That ended up being a really nice surprise in this episode.

To be honest, I don't think I liked the episode very much. It just felt like mostly retreading Suited for Success at the peak of the conflict, I thought the song was mostly generic (though certain bits of it were really good). Ending is WTF, no idea what to think of that.

I'm at least glad the shop is staying open. Kinda hoping for an actual break from the norm with Rarity moving to canterlot, but it wouldn't make much sense given all the Castle plots and stuff, and its not a bad resolution anyways.

I kinda agree, but the song was pretty cool and I liked the ending as Rarity reminds herself of what she loves most about her profession (I think that was the moral, Fizz - don't forget/forego why you do what you do). At the very least, I don't think it retread SFS too badly, if only because nothing unique like that fashion show disaster occurred.

I still have no idea on megafat pony, they fired a huge miss there. The rest of the BG ponies were cute though

It's definitely a good thing that the show was willing to do this, to let Rarity actually do something (especially since she, perhaps along with Rainbow Dash, has always been the most ambitious of the Mane Six). I would've been a bit annoyed if she actually had closed Canterlot Carousel just so the show could maintain the status quo.

When that pony turned down the version of the dress with the gems in it, I thought Sassy might have used magic to influence her not to like it, just to prove herself right. :eyebrow:

Like I'd been saying earlier, Suited For Success's story was more that you can't please everyone, so you mustn't try to do so. Back then Rarity had actually been trying hard to make unique things that fit each of her other friends. If in that episode she were (for example) asked to make matching dresses for the other five and she figured out that it's better to be unique, then I'd think this episode would be a retread of that, but fortunately that's not quite what happened.
