It's amazing how significant this episode is to fans.

Luna had been, prior to this, a cypher. More fan-character than anything from canon, all the community had guess-work and several mutualy-exclusive fanons.Then we got Luna Eclipsed and we suddenly had our first glimpse of understanding of the sort of personality that would make somepony turn into Nightmare Moon.

This is also a tour de force for Twilight, giving us a good insight into the qualities that made her later become the Princess of Friendship and we also see just how totally the Element of Laughter is bound up in Pinkie's fundamental nature.
