Hm, I have to agree, the first one, while extremely minor, was a flaw, though it seemed to serve a good enough purpose to me (I mean, they could've had the ponies get kidnapped, one-by-one, and demarked, then hidden in that house, but it probably would've taken too long), but I disagree with the second - I think the reason was believable enough that I'm not going to question it.

I think the number one thing that I found wrong with the episode was that when the village ponies found out they'd been lied to, they just seemed to snap out of their brainwashing instantly - while I do think it was realistic enough that they'd be angry at Starlight and chase after her to help the Mane Six at first, it would've been interesting to have them at least attempt rationalizing the actions Starlight undertook against them, or feeling like they needed to go back to Starlight's system, even with having their cutie marks back (which three of them wanted, ofc).
