Silly you, that's not how you spell the name of every single pony on this show! It takes a lot more letters than that!

Biggest pony is best pony.

This was made only eight minutes after the show aired.

Fast fandom is fast.

This was posted an hour after the original airing started.

Do you guys think we'll see a fanfic where one or more of the girls continues being Mare Do Well after the events of the episode?

Are you kidding? There are going to be thousands upon thousands of MLP fanfics where the plots will be lifted from other superhero movies.

Its gonna be awesome.

Well, we already have this.

My heart broke a little when I saw this.

Mine too: that Spike is so ugly.

Man, nopony here can spell "Rarity" correctly, can they?

Let's spell it: A, W, E, S, O, M, E, "Rarity".

Guys, you're all spelling Flutwitydashpiejack wrong.

There was an image macro fairly early on with a bunch of rear shots, and the words "I watch it for the plot." The internet being what it is, "plot" has become a euphemism for pony ass.

Which makes "plothole" rather amusing in retrospect.

This was used for one of the best puns ever in Friendship is Witchcraft.

Diamond Tiara: "What an interesting plot, Twist."

Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned that the safety regulations governing Ponyville are appallingly lax and whomever's in charge of them should probably be fired.

Your faithful student,

There's a road which leads to an open cliff.

...why was that built?

OH WAIT! So that pegasus-pulled vehicles can take off!

There already are :|

Meh. That episode was disappointingly flat, especially for the potentially epic premise. Doesn't help that we just had an episode of Dash being less of a headstrong idiot.

I mean, here's what I was kind of hoping for by 2/3 through.

Dash's overzealous peanut-butter-jar efforts causes some kind of over-the-top catastrophe. The Mare's upstage save backfires and puts her in a tight spot. The other Mares come out to come to the rescue (SHOCKER!), and all promptly fail. Dash spends about two seconds of WTF over the multiple Mares, then puts it right on the back burner and breaks out the 200% Motherfucking Loyalty to charge through her self-made meat grinder and make the save. The Mare's mask comes off halfway out. Ends with most of Ponyville still pissed at Dash for causing it in the first place, but her priorities scared straight enough that she's just glad everypony's okay. Optional "this is way more dangerous than it looks, kids" message via the Mare being rattled by the whole thing.

Key notion: Dash gets deflated by her own flaws, but saves what's important by her own strengths (as opposed to not really redeeming herself, nor petulant attention whoring by ruining the Mare's reception never biting her in the ass). Lesson of priorities is actually demonstrated instead of The More You Know. Lesson actually relates to holding those around you above personal ambitions, instead of just not being a petulant camwhore jackass. Additional minor themes of best laid plans, etc.

Though the notion of positively epic citywide OSHA fails and an unexplained open cliff facing hillside that everypony always wanders too near with their detached wagons and baby carriages is amusing.

"Yeah, the only thing that should be shoved in anypony's face is chocolate cake!"

You mean like what you're doing with the moral of the episode right now?

Have you not got used to morals being shoved into the viewers' faces yet? It is a kid's show.

It seemed a little more forced than usual this week, though >.>

Let's be fair, this is a show where they explicitly outline the moral at the 21-minute mark. A bit of chocolate cake in the face isn't really anything new to this series :|

The problem with the episode was just that there's usually some point where they realize the moral on their own steam and then do better — here Dash just kept being a moron the whole time, and the girls just kind of cheated and told her.

I just want to let you all know...you win.

Tonight I'm starting the show. I can't stand it any longer. It's been calling to me...

-hangs his head in shame-

It's okay man, nothing to be ashamed of.

-pokes head in thread-

I tried watching this show but...I didn't get what all the fuss was about.
