Alrighty, while this episode wasn't what I'd call awesome, it was definately a win for me. I was a bit disappointed that the nickname was something that we had heard before (way to be origional, Hasbro), but it did add on to how resentful Rainbow was toward it. I like how much the comedy spiced up the episode, even if the bit with the Mane 6 imitaion was a bit stretched (especially since the Wonderbolts know who she is). I can imagine that a lot of professional athletes can relate to what Rainbow was going through, as newbies might find themselves feeling out of place on the team, especially if they make a bad first impression. I have to disagree with Dr. Wolf when he said that the relationship between Rainbow and Scootaloo wasn't well developed. If anything, I think the fact that Scootaloo actually questioned Rainbow's plan to adding to the routine is evidence that their relationship has really grown. Before, I would've expected Scootaloo to be totally behind Rainbow Dash's plans, even if they are questionable, but here, she was actually hesitant to do what she wanted. On another note, I think the creators may have heard us when a lot of us were complaining that Rainbow wasn't punished in Tanks for the Memories, and I like what they picked for her to do to pay for her actions. I also like the fact that Rainbow wasn't the only one with an embarrassing nickname caused by bad first impressions, espeically in Spitfire's case. I guess my biggest nitpick is that Starlight was absent again, which is a real shame, as she would've seen why Rainbow Dash was so shocked that she didn't know who they are. So, overall, a really good episode, and a really big congradulations to Rainbow Dash for finally becoming a Wonderbolt.
