I, for one, fell absolutely in love with Bulk Biceps, and would love to see more of him! He really helped make this episode for me. Every joke with him had me dying, especially 'P is for Rainbow Dash!' He was a fun character. While the message and themes of this episode have been explored before, I always enjoy Rainbow Dash reaffirming that she is the Element of Loyalty. I have too many friends tell me that the Element just does not suit her, and while that may ring true for S1 Dash, her character has been fleshed out and explored more that I have no more doubts about it! Overall, this episode has a guilty pleasure feel to it. It has some serious problems and continuity issues, but I cannot stop loving it <3

In response to Steph: Eeyup. Totally agree with you. In response to Jim: I never want to Snowflake (I'm sticking to that name, deal with it) EVER again. Foreground OR background. He needs to go away. I don't think that a drug-using (assumption based on the physical portrayal) talking rock (based on the characterization of his intelligence) is a good thing to be using in a show that was—and still supposedly is—aimed at such a young audience, however minor his role may be. At least in the case of Ditzy Doo (I prefer the given name) we can see a pony that works hard to overcome her impairment, and she does so in a non-overbearing way. She's not afraid to admit that she might have issues or accept a limitation, but that still means she does her absolute best to do everything she can to overcome it. No drugs or annoying other ponies. They would have been much better off spotlighting one of the other myriad pegasi in place of Snowflake. In response to the episode as a whole: Even with the reinforcing of Dash's moral compass, which was great, I still can't get over the laundry list of issues Tommy brings up. I can't even get behind the episode in the context of pure fun like I did with Power Ponies or Castle Mania, arguably the weakest episodes thus far this season. In terms of moral lesson and good characterization, Rarity Takes Manehatten is still the tops this season. In terms of pure fun, I'd give it to Bats! This episode was just kinda sad. Even more so than Daring Don't. Please Hasbro, I'm Daring you. Don't make Rainbows Fall this hard ever again. (Puns totally intended.)
