The "uncouth" bit rubs me the wrong way in that it makes AJ sound strange. Her initial reaction comes across as near disbelieving outrage about Rarity's comment, but then she says "Rarity thinks everything is uncouth", suggesting that such a viewpoint is in fact not a surprise. Moreover, when Apple Bloom demonstrates "uncouth" behavior, AJ appears to approve of it ("Eeexactly!"), so apparently she accepts that style of behavior anyway. I'm tempted to think that's what's keeping me from considering this episode a 5/5, because honestly otherwise I think I'd put it above Ponyville Confidential for how much incredibly effective subtext there is on sibling interaction.
