Ok, here's the reason why this episode doesn't work:

good MLP episodes are puzzles. Each event adds a new piece of the puzzle, until at the end the puzzle is solved.

"The Perfect Pear". Regardless of wether or not is "moving", the episode works because you want to keep watching to see how the story of Pear Butter and Bright Mac continues, how the whole story pans out.

"Bloom and Gloom". The episode works because you wantto keep watching to see if Apple Bloom wakes up, or if she gains any sort of control on her nightmares, or just figure out why she's trapped in nightmares.

"The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone". Again, several pieces of the puzzlke. Will they find the Idol of Boreas? Can Griffonstone be saved? How can Griffonstone be saved?

"Bridle Gossip"...what is the mystery behind the zebra? Why are the Mane Six cursed? Why is Apple Bloom so unafraid?

Pieces of the puzzles, all building up to something.

This episode? This isn't a puzzle. It's not building up to anything. Crazy fans are obnoxious and moronic, maybe they are a reprentation of hardcore bronies, the end.

It does nothing to hook the viewer in. You are just not invested in what's happening.
