Wow, what an excellent episode. It's far and away my favorite of the (admittedly, young) season. I can't think of a single significant negative thing to say about it; in fact, the only thing I can think of at all is that the first CMC to get her cutie mark got it offscreen. I think this episode, better than any of the others before it, demonstrates Josh Haber's ability to extract every last ounce of comedy from an episode while still remaining true to the characters and their feelings (or another way of putting it is that even though it's very funny, the character's feelings are still taken seriously, and so it feels organic and natural). I could gush on and on about my favorite moments from the episode, and I'd basically be hitting all the major points - it's that good. I will say though, they got us good by putting that Sweetie Belle dream scene in the teaser trailer (I had a feeling that that scene was from this episode - I just wasn't expecting it to be a dream, haha).

For my rating for the episode, as well as a rating for all the other episodes that have aired thus far (as well as the EG movies and most of the shorts), see my blog. *end shameless plug* )
