this could be my favorite episode ever 10/10 for sure. Rarity is the most developed pony by far and this episode just makes it stronger. It was consistent with all of their characters (something i felt was being missed this season) even when she was running with the upper crust she did not ever forget about her friends, she was always talking about twilight's party and her dress.
The writing on this episode was absolutely top notch. Fancy pants was a really cool BG pony, he surprised me at the end, would not mind seeing him again. The mane 6 showing up to canterlot was also unexpected (for me) and it gave us more mane 6 action! The pony party was a lot of fun
there was a lot of good things for the fandom. TONNES of new BG ponies, new rarity looks, hot air ballon yachts, party cannons, octavia, and a Seinfeld reference (Twilight at the garden party was doing the ellain dance)!
I liked how the mane 6 did not scald rarity about skipping out (it felt kind of weird when they did it last episode) It was good that she realized the lesson on her own, also the song was super catchy :D
watching it the second time around I am sure this is my favorite episode, SEASON 2 IS SAVED! cant wait for the HD version of his so i can get some sweet screen caps dont listen to me tho im just a hopeless rarity fanboy
I saw this episode very much like the last one. One character was perpetual showing negative character traits until the end lesson, which doesn't seem like they learned anything. The writing for this episode was better, rarity showed a bit of remorse throughout the episode, rarity procrastinating is more entertaining than rainbow being annoying, and she actually did turn around in the end. But those positives are nullified by having to deal with fancy ponies the entire episode, which are tedious to watch, and I don't think even atheistically look good (as oppose to all the other background ponies which look good)..
There were good things in this episode: The song was a quality song, the party cannon was great, and there were little white dots falling from fluttershy's birds, which I am choosing to interpret as the birds were shitting on the other ponies. But a few nice parts isn't enough to float the episode.
Every episode I get a little more irritated that neither fluttershy nor pinkie pie are major parts of any episodes. And no, the song from episode 7 was not enough.

Rarity's negative traits were MUCH less prominent than Dash's. Plus, Rarity didn't need to be taught a lesson, she found out herself by standing up for her friends. The biggest problem I had with the last episode was the fact that Rainbow's friends were dicks to her and that made me feel bad. MLP should make you feel good, and this episode did, because Rarity stood up for her friends and all was well.
People are way less critical about this episode, huh? + Show Spoiler +
Pretty cool how they had photofinish in a scene, also the party canon was just awesome. That all mane 6 actually did something was really refreshing; Meghan McCarthy doing it right. With the new letter system they have more freedom to do episodes on a single character, but to have all mane 6 incuded not just as background usually adds a lot to the episodes.
For Round 1 and 2, that will be the map you play on. For the rounds following, the map labeled will be the first map you play on, and then the loser of the first game will pick a map from the pool to play on. (You may play on the same map, if you so desire).
On another note: Brutaxilos on TL, Gyalgatine.852 on SC2, cant make the tournament due to a power outage failure due to heavy winds down in SoCal, so he won't be showing up to the tournament, so GaryOak will move on to the 2nd Round. Be sure to wish him well over there!
Thats fine. He pm'd me saying he probably wouldn't make it, but I have no qualms about waiting.
Edit: It Looks like HarpSeal may also be in the same boat. So Chayman may not have a round one match as well. I can wait for a bit for those guys to show, NPNP.
Just watched episode. Rarity singing is great, but I liked the best pet song better ^_^
Rarity lying was good. In fact, the whole loyalty vs pride is actually pretty interesting overall. I liked the episode, it hits a particular spot with me, especially the part about holding true to your origins. Did not expect fancypants to be such a likable character to be honest, shows that snobbery doesn't go hand in hand with being a huge dick, which I think is an important lesson. Overall I enjoyed the episode a lot, although some of the more snobbish ponies were annoying.
I saw this thread was at the frontpage all the time, so I finally decided to check it out. I'm now eleven episodes in and I do say I really like this show :D

Pinkie Pie = best pony ever!
Another pinkie pie fan! I saw a filly pinkie doll at walmart and couldn't help myself from yelling holy pony its pinkie pie LOL (yes a real laugh out loud). The parents all looked at me strange and shooed their kids away from me.
I was looking at the maps for the tournament, and I have a question. In the first round it appears the map is a map called "metalocalpyse". Now, is this an accident and "Metalopolis" was meant? Or is there actually such a map, and if so, is Dethklok on the map somewhere?
