It was a silly episode but a good kind of silly. It was light-hearted and fun at all stages in a way where nopony and no fanon had to be hurt.

There were, in my view, two levels to Mayor Mare's closing monologue. We were rightly reminded that, behind the 'headline' events of the adventures of the Mane Six, we mustn't forget the background ponies who are having their own adventures and that we should never forget that everyone around us, best friends or no, have their own tales to tell and just as significant stories of their own to tell in their own lives. I think that the team at DHX were thanking the fan-fiction writers and fan-artists who gave all those background characters their own personalities, stories and friendships which they chose to celebrate today.

It is the healthy and vibrant fandom that made it possible to reach Episode 100. It is the fandom, their own wild imaginations and the depth they gave to the Friendship is Magic universe that was celebrated today.

So, yes, here's to you all. As the new Princess said: we're lucky to be part of this.

Overall Rating: 9/10 - It was a bit hyperactive in places but never distractingly so; M A Larson once again shows she can compress an ambitious episode into 22 minutes without harm.

Looks like the theme is going to be followed up next week with the Mane Six seeking to get to know the background ponies a little bit better!
