This episode reminds me of Hurricane Fluttershy what with Dash being supportive and gentle rather than her original characterization from Dragonshy. Other season 2 episodes push her into a supportive episode, but this one had the same impact Hurricane Fluttershy had. She scolds the other two Crusaders, but only because they left their friend behind, which despite her flaws, is something RD would never do.

I loved her enthusiasm over coaching the ponies, and they snuck in a few innuendos here and there, Harshwhinny was a hoot for being so comically serious, but in the end, she wasn't above fangirling over the CMC performance. Plus Harshwhinny's face seems to be the face with a hundred different expressions. She can literally make any face at all.

Scootaloo was great in this episode, putting on a show of bravado for Rainbow Dash but breaks down when she realizes she can't fly. And what does Rainbow Dash do? She says she's perfectly fine with Scootaloo not flying as that is not what her talent is. Just because it worked for Rainbow Dash, doesn't mean it will work for Scootaloo.

I love this episode, especially seeing as it was done by a new writer.

9.7/10

Good show, Ed Valentine.
