Ooooh this fun but also kind of made some people upset episode! So before diving into the whole bit about that, first and most importantly, 11:35 The Derp One has truly arrived! Praise be unto Best Pony! So, this was the first ep that was still early enough in production at the time the show started airing for the staff to actually make changes to after they became aware of the massive and unexpected fanbase they suddenly had. As a show of appreciation for this and to show they were paying attention and cared about even the fans that weren't in the intended demographic, but clearly loved the show anyway, they noticed the huge fan love for that odd little, only visible because of an animation glitch in the first season, grey pegasus with the wall-eyes and either added her in, derp eyes and all,when they needed a clutzy pegasus, or she was already intended to be in the scene, and they just gave her the now iconic eyes (I can't recall which one for sure.) And in pretty much all further appearances, of which there will be many after this (baring a little snafu we'll get to in a future season) she has maintained that look, and pretty much became.... if not so much a fandom mascot, then the mascot for the appreciation of the staff for the Brony fanbase.

Oh right and here was more to the episode besides the first truly intended Best Pony cameo. Yeah, you mentioned 'like Christianity' and, yeah a lot of other people got that vibe and weren't to happy with it, since the way things play out and the message is worded, it can kind of be taken as kind of a, "Science and facts don't matter" message of just act on whatever you believe regardless of evidence or if it's true or not. Clearly this wasn't intended, it was meant to be more "If you have people you trust, then trust that they know what they are talking about, even if you don't fully understand it." sort of thing, and both Lauren Faust and the writer for this ep, Dave Polsky apologized for the poor wording on things that didn't quite convey the message they were going for clearly enough. Speaking of Dave Polsky, Twilight went through a lot of what should be fatal abuse and shrugged it all, didn't she? The little quip about "Pinkious Pieacus" is meant to clue you in to his style of writing. That was a little shout out to the old Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons, since Polsky loves his Looney Toons-esque slapstick, and his eps tend to have a lot more stuff like that in them. That said...... already noting the trend of Spikabuse I see...
