Talk:Spike at Your Service/@comment-4742142-20121230055750

I enjoyed this episode, but it wasn't my favorite Spike-centered episode. I also don't believe it's as bad as some of the critics are saying. I heard many comment on how Spike was OOC. I believe people are used to seeing him as the voice of reason and being more mature. I know some didn't care for some of the things he did in this episode -- I understand. Age-wise, he's pretty much a preteen kid, folks, and kids do some of the darndest things. I have to admit that we don't see enough of him act more like a preteen boy. You can say he's out of character, but with him being a young character, he can get away with some of the acts and things older characters cannot.

I wil say, however, that as far as the Noble Dragon Code goes, that could have been explained better. That would be the one thing I didn't like about the episode.

I enjoyed the visuals here, and I did enjoy the interaction with Spike and Applejack. She seemed to handle things well, when Spike was obsessed with helping her. Rarity's pie-eating scene was very well done, and the Pinkie's moustache thing was nice. We didn't get an actual song, but Spike did sing a few lines, so to hear him sing again was cool. So, I did enjoy it, though there was room for improvement.

Anyway, I do hope more fans will enjoy "Just For Sidekicks" next month.
