I know I sound way too negative on the episode, but it is absolutely true. All the episode does is shove some random background ponies everyone in the fandom loves, have them do random shit that amounts to nothing but white noise, and then proceed to try and fit it all together in a plot that only becomes relevant during the very beginning and the very end. Not only that, but since all/most of the characters being brought in weren't all that developed and had no developed characters (i.e: the mane six) to fall back on for growth or development, they ended up feeling half-assed or out of nowhere. If you liked it, more power to you and it just proves you are more in with the fandom that I am, but seriously, this was just sad and shows just how much Hasbro loves letting bronies have their circle jerks while making money from their complete and utter obsession, the bronies being none the wiser. Shame on you, Hasbro....shame. on. you.
