This episode was...odd. I was kinda expecting a combination of Party Of One and MMMystery On The Friendship Express, but instead it was just a comedy of errors, a lot of lying leading to a good moral yet getting there through weird means, and just a lot of randomness for the sake of randomness. This is definitely a filler episode for me. First off, I hated that Spitfire continues to call Rainbow Dash "Crash". I still won't be behind using a bullying, hurtful nickname as "just something they do". I don't find it funny. Second, while the problem was something we can all relate to (hating something and trying to spare our friend's feelings by lying about liking it), it was dragged out SO long and it was just Pinkie being Pinkie the whole time. There's not a lot of substance. The reason why Party Of One and MMMystery On The Friendship Express are so awesome is because it delivers a ton of humor and actually crafts fun stories. This one was so mundane. While I'm glad they at least didn't make Rainbow Dash out to be a complete jerk and thus making her get horribly punished (The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well, 28 Pranks Later), or they didn't just abuse her for no reason (Newbie Dash), I couldn't get into this that much. Pinkie was cute, though, and Applejack being deadpan and useless was fun. But...yeah, the episode wasn't that great. But is it the first actual BAD episode of the season? Eh...no. It's not THAT bad that I have to say that it was horribly crafted, has a bad moral, has out-of-character moments, or is just really mean-spirited or stupid. It was just...messy and pointless. Not horrible, but not great.
