Sorry, I still feel like being vocal about my criticisms of a generally bad episode from a series that has consistently produced quality writing. The other writer's majorly put story and characters before “plot dictates” behavior and culture references. And when you don't just consider MLP but Merriwether's whole career, I would expect more care and consideration from a writer with those merits. This episode stands out as a flaw in the series. Well this and 'Mare Do-Well' share a similar case of progressing “because the writer says so” and not because its natural or consistent with the series. All the other writer's seem to be able do this and still be funny and clever with each episode, I see no reason Merriwether cannot. Especially when you consider her record of good writing before joining MLP.
