These are the only BG ponies I care about. Of the six, only Vinyl was important to the episode. I do not like this episode because I didn't care about 95% of the crap happening or the characters highlighted save for Vinyl.

I think the Bear Bug looks cool and Tia and Luna's bickering was great, but outside of those bits...I was not amused. Any Fandom jokes that where made flew over my head because I don't care about the character they revolve around.

I was already hesitant about this episode before it even aired. Worried that it would be focused on fandom jokes and Dr.Who references(Sidebar; I hate the Dr. Whooves thing. It reminds me of the terrible Dr.Who fanbase.) And while that wasn't 100% of the episode, it was a large part of it. So that is my issue with this episode, not the hype, the fan service, the pandering, and the lack of engagement I felt.

I see now it was a mistake asking other for why they like this episode. I wasn't going to be happy with any answer I got and I'm getting a bit angry with everyone praising this episode. It's mainly because my view differ so greatly from the fandoms on headcanons or the "Best" background pony/background ponies worthy of attention, the cherry picking/hive mind mentality alot of them display, and the sheer amount of hypocrisy I've seen during my short time in this fan base. I'm being to think it would be best to just ignore everything I don't like and just stick to my own little corner and have no expectations for anything. At least that way, I won't be disappoint when the (possible) 200th episode rolls around and we're doing this accursed song and dance again.
