Wow. Rarity has always been my most hated characters; I just find her to be so disgusting and hateful and hypocritical. But, try as I might to actively hate her in this one, I simply couldn't. She was what I always wanted her to be; overly-dramatic, silly, sweet, actually generous, and caring. That's the Rarity I always wanted to have, but not the one I've mostly seen throughout six seasons. And, try as I might to like Sweetie Belle, for the most part I just found her so heartless. I get the obvious message hammered home, but it still felt cruel to me. Plus, uh, Sweetie Belle is still a filly. This is simply a fact. I think the problem is the show doesn't really show the ponies changing as they get older. The side-plot with Ripley the dog also didn't make a lot of sense to me. My three dogs are all around the age of 10, yet they still love doing all the things they did as puppies. They're dogs, not people (or in this case, ponies), so they don't mind doing the same thing regardless of age. I didn't feel that tied in very well, despite it being sweet. But, at its heart, I can't hate this episode. It seriously did bring a tear to my eye several times, and while I wanted to not like it, I just couldn't. It really was sweet.
