@Nyarly: For what it's worth, Just For Sidekicks is my favorite Spike episode.
His episodes tend to get better the more recent they are in my opinion. Spike At Your Service is an anomaly in that theory I admit.
Tealove is best pony.

"Dragon quest" was a pretty cool episode. But the resolution is just somewhat weak.
"You must think you're God."
"No. HE thinks he's me."
Why, didn't you watch the episode in HD?
Try to see it my way

Personally, Spike's a good character who tends to have the weakest episodes. The g1 version of Dragon Quest had a much better ending, and there's no way it wasn't unnoticed, it shares about 70% of the plot.

I'm sorry to say, you've been eaten by a Grue.
Hello, fruit product vehicle.
They tried bucking a dragon in the mouth before. It didn't go well for them.

That's my dream. It's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor … and surviving.
It's always weird how Fluttershy can be the creepiest pony.
Maybe not exactly ways of hurting them per se, but she probably has spent a significant amount of time brooding about all the things she dislikes about other people. (Which, of course, she could never mention to anyone. Yay, repression!)

I think everyone can relate. It's the part of you that becomes a Shadow.
Or Fluttershy, at any rate.

Do they get to turn into Alec Baldwin with weird face prosthetics?

Is it me, or was the classic "grabs the hat just in the nick of time before the door falls" trope played REALLY harshly in Daring Do?
I honestly don't think I've ever seen a variation where the adventurer was about to get decapitated by the fucking door before!
Actually, Read It And Weep was a surprisingly violent episode anyway. Actual broken bones. Full body casts (the stallion next to RD) The adventurer stuff, which included arrow, lava and quicksand/snake/spider/crusher DEATH traps. Oh, and not to mention confirmation of mental illness in ponies with Screwy.
and to top it all off: That fucking noise that RD's wing made when she tried to fly with it! (shudder)
Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.
