Well, that was a thoroughly unsatisfactory resolution. For every question it answers, it raises two more, and the implications are STAGGERING.


 * Why did the solicitation for Part 2 indicate a bigger role for Pinkie Pie when she was barely present?
 * "How about how insensitive those ponies can be?" Really, Spike? Just like the dragons were insensitive toward ponies in Dragon Quest?
 * If the bond between the dragons and yaks is so "sacred", how did the yaks forget about it?
 * If the yaks didn't forget about the sacred bond, why would they risk breaking it by declaring Pinkie an honorary yak?
 * Why did Ember, who's supposed to be one of the more level-headed dragons, not explain the details of the sacred bond in the first place?
 * Even if Ember's frustrations about overcoming pony prejudices were that bad, how does that justify trying to burn a whole village to the ground?
 * How petty are the dragons to declare war over a title that's supposed to show the yaks' respect toward other races just because they bestowed it upon a non-dragon?
 * Do the yaks merely accept that what they believed to be a volcano is an honorary yak?

The only characters to come out of this arc looking good are Pinkie Pie for offering to give up her honorary yak title and Spike for calling everyone else out for being dumb. Because that's what I feel happened here: everyone else was pushed down in order to push Spike up. (That's not good character usage!) It isn't often that an MLP story gets me this annoyed, but uuuuugggghhhhh.

On first impressions, this story is as bad as The Good, the Bad and the Ponies and The Root of the Problem.
