Talk:A Friend in Deed/@comment-1658827-20120219151027

I really wasn't looking forward to this episode, to be honest. Just from the premise, it seemed stupid to me. But, yes, like Rainbow Dash learned, you can't judge a book by its cover. It was actually a rather cute episode. Here's my outlook:

POSITIVES: Derpy Hooves inside the snow-globe. The beautiful "Smile, Smile, Smile" song that ALWAYS brings a smile to my face and makes me want to cry; don't ask why, that's just how music affects me if played correctly. Hearing Rose talk; it's always a joy when the background characters have a minor role. Having Twilight Sparkle involved. Seeing Rainbow Dash reading Daring-Do. The cute background of Cranky. The rest of Pinkie's songs. The breaking of the fourth wall on a constant basis.

NEGATIVE: The absurdity that Pinkie can SOMEHOW hypnotize an entire town into being her friends; I'll reiterate what someone else said below and say that that's NOT how you make friends. Pinkie actually really angered me during this, since she was SO annoying; if she was messing with my stuff, I'd blow my top, too.

Overall, it wasn't bad. I still hate "The Mysterious Mare Do Well", "The SSCS 6000", "Hearts & Hooves Day", and a few others more than this one. It's not near the top, but...eh, it was alright. Two episodes in a row with my two least favorite characters isn't thrilling (Fluttershy is next; you all know I don't like her), but...hey, I love the show and it makes me happy to see the episodes anyway! Keep 'em coming.
