 * Twilight Sparkle: Ya know she's not a tree, right?

I just love the delivery of that line. She says it so dryly that it sounds serious.

Does anyone else miss this? Does anyone else miss when the show put the characters in a situation and let them play off each other, leading to humorous digression? I mean, a question about if they had to haul Bloomberg to the orchard hilariously turns into a conversation about whether or not Fluttershy is a tree. That's just perfect.

There's also that scene in Sonic Rainboom. All it tried to do was put Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash in a field and have them play off each other. It's a simple scene that left us with our (at the time) understanding of their friendship. There's a reason why bronies made the "yay" such a popular thing.

This is why I love the Friends Forever series so much. It does what the show used to do. Nowadays, the show spouts bad messages "excused" by spectacle/flash, introduces characters solely as scapegoats, and retreads previously done ideas.
