Where do I start? This episode was fantastic. I don't really have too much to say about it, but I have a couple comments;
- Spike x Rarity shippers... get your keyboards ready.
- The Wonderbolts act heroic and do absolutely nothing to help. Again.
- Spike was lookin' kinda freaky before he became a full-grown dragon... o_O
- Lots of "quick" jokes, which I really like and have been noticing a lack of lately this season
- There are lots of other things I liked about this episode that I can't quite remember
All in all, an absolutely super-terrific-mega-epic-awesome episode. To elaborate a little more on the "quick" jokes, these are jokes that have no set-up, last maybe half a second, and make for quick sh*ts & giggles. You know what I mean. I really like these "quick" jokes, and I love it when the writers make an episode that's riddled with them (like this one). "Quick" jokes are probably the one thing I can never have too much of. This episode had a very good dose of "quick" jokes.
And yes, this episode teaches the basic lesson of greed. Spike's gluttonous behavior was apparent throughout the episode, so I would call this a very well-written one.
So, well-written, and funny too. That's what makes a great episode, and this one hit all the right marks.
