Honestly, I wasn't all that impressed by this episode (at first). I dunno, Pinkie just kinda came off as flanderized and unncessary, while Rarity, while also incredibly funny, also seemed a bit flanderized. Also, Bulk Biceps' voice, while fine, was an acquired taste for sure. Also, I've gotta say, based on what we'd seen from Spitfire in the past, it was hard to believe that she'd lie to both Soarin and Rainbow Dash in order to get the latter to fly for Cloudsdale, and frankly, I didn't like it (maybe I'll just blame it on Fleetfoot, lol).

But enough of the bad, on to the good. The second half of this episode was much, much better than the first. I kinda figured Rainbow Dash would pull a stunt like that, and then go with Ponyville when only her friends from there visited here; wasn't quite expecting Soarin's role, but it was a nice addition, certainly. Had to pause the episode because I was laughing so hard when Derpy showed up as Rainbow Dash's replacement, and while it's disappointing that she didn't have a voiced role (because especially when she shrugged, it seemed like it would've lent itself real well to her speaking again), it's understandable (baby steps, now that Mike Vogel has confirmed she's here to stay). Spitfire kind of redeemed herself in the end too, so that's always nice. The ending (with Rainbow Dash finishing just under the wire) was kinda cheesy and expected, but also nice (since the Cloudsdale team was also cheering for the Ponyville team).

In the end... well, come to my blog to see what score I give it.
