Hm, I think this is the first time where we've gotten a summary that actually blatantly lied to us (saying Twilight was away in Canterlot, instead of that re-shelving thing).

Other than that, I thought that whole beginning (Twilight shutting herself inside her castle to re-shelve the books for three days straight) was so unbelievably stupid that it was actually ingenious and hilarious, and there certainly were some funny gags throughout, plus the ending and lesson were both not as painful as I was expecting when the third act began, so there is that. Overall, I'd say it was an improvement over Princess Spike, as while the Mane Six were not exactly written their best, since they were in a group and there wasn't as much focus on any one of them (except for Twilight, perhaps), it didn't stand out as much as Princess Spike (which was a lot more glaring, though maybe that's just because Spike can be a tough character to write for when he's the center of an episode) - oddly enough, that also caused the episode to feel less cohesive than Princess Spike (somehow).
