Oof...

Okay, not awful but it's still level-pegging with The Gift of the Maud Pie. I'll give it a six point five, mostly because of its unexpectedly mature ending of having Dash fail and then realise that it was her own fault and learn from it. That's character growth right there and it was a gutsy call by the production team to have that happen. It makes for a nicely unexpected moral - Showing off isn't the way to get respect from your peers.

However, that's offset by a cringe-worthy middle act. Okay, so I get Andrea is good at imitating the other VAs and maybe they wanted to show-boat it. However, they just ended up running the character of Rainbow Dash through a wood-chipper and turned her into a Pinkie-level randomness generator.

((Sigh)) I don't know. Maybe I'll be more generous with future viewings.

Just to reiterate: 6.5/10, currently joint worst episode of the season for me.
