She really stole the episode for me. The fanclub at the start was hilarious.
And in a way, she's the only one who didn't forget about Rainbow Dash. Sure she went along with the MMDW fans, but she still invited Rainbow to the thank-you parade – she didn't want poor Dashie to be all alone. And yes, I know it's a liberal interpretation of that scene, but Scootaloo is best pony and I'm sticking with it.
Sorry, but I absolutely disliked this episode. Since when does poniville need a resident hero? Or hell have the kind of population to have disasters on a regular basis? This is the furthest thing from a "slice of life" I could ask for. The fact that this lesson is the same as boast busters but subverted is not helping. The only redeeming feature of the episode is perhaps the fact that the pinkie sense reappears. I don't mind rd episodes, but this whole episode leaves rainbow feeling... flat. We need more about loyalty from her and less about "I am awesome". Show us how awesome she is, stop telling us. Hopefully next weeks episode is much better.

Agree with all that. There have been bad episodes before but they don't correlate with time, they correlate with writer. Two particular writers last season did all the episodes I dislike, and today's was a new writer.
Agree with most people here. Way below average episode. Only the first few minutes were cool but it went downhill very fast. It just didnt make much sense. Since when are there so many disasters in Ponyville? Almost all oher episodes didn't need such setup. Also if her friends didn't want to show RD a lesson then all those other ponies would probably just die lol. The ending was very predictable, too, and the gas were old. Hope it gets better next week.
Definitely a disappointing episode. I wish they wouldn't do back to back episodes focused on the same pony (this happened with Stare Master + Show Stoppers in season 1). At the end of the day, just not a very good episode
My reaction at first seeing the opener. Really? Am I seeing this really? A RD fanclub with scootaloo at it's head. ROFL ROFL! My thoughts during the first 5 minutes, Oh man I'm sure RD could use all this boost to her ego... I figured TMMDW was her friends, though I expected her to unmask a FS MDW and the hilariousness leading from thus would be great. Ah well I can see a lot of good stuff coming out of this episode from the fandom.
Is there really any reason to discuss this episode? It felt really short to me, but only because nothing happened. They shouldn't have put two RD episodes in a row, especially with the much stronger episode going first.
it wasnt great i will admit its wasnt good maby it was the worst of season but its still watchable the begining and then is kinda intresting and funny but the rest of episode just seemed so booring natural disasters and stuff kinda ruined it! ending miight have been redictable but i mean does it metter ,if it was predictable or not? still episode goes into not bad neither not good category also RD ALLWAYS SHOWS OFF . but yeah... all thouse disasters that hapened come ON you needet only 1 to show your point not 3-5 wouldve made episode a lot better
