I actually really, really liked this episode. I was smiling from start to finish, and it had a lot of things going for it. I was really surprisesd how they were able to include so many elements, in such a short amount of time.

It had a wide variety of characters (Mane 6, Spike, Critters, CMC, Zecora), locations (Ponyville, several ponies' homes, cmc clubhouse, train station, crystal empire), little nods to other questions (like peewee) and even a song courtesy of Spike (well sorta). And somehow, it managed to do all of this while giving every character time to shine, and never once feeling rushed! I feel that this was very well written, and it takes quite a bit of skill to incorporate so many things into a story, and still have it feel fun and natural.

Only thing that could have made it better? If the CMC got to see the palace. 9.5/10
