And so season 1 comes to an end. No one expected this show to be anything but a probably kind of decent given it was being made by Lauren Faust, but still kind of just 'okay' show for little girls...... and then the Bronies happened and this show became a sensation and an international event that changed so much. Yeah Season 1 wasn't the greatest compared to what comes later, but it was just so... wholesome and fun, and above all sincere about it that it proved to be something so many people didn't realize they needed. But the ride is just beginning! So, lots of notes for this ep, the song is another case of Daniel Ingram flexing his Broadway nerd cred, as it's pretty much an arrangement of the Sondheim musical Into the Woods. We see that Fluttershy may have some repressed anger issues.... this has been dubbed "Flutterage" or "Berserkershy". Not to be confused with Dovashy, she of the Fus Roh Yay! This also pretty well cemented the already prevalent view of Trollestia, and Celestia loving to play pranks, especially on the stuffy nobles who takes things way too seriously. Then we have "Prince" Blueblood.... yeah no one likes him, he pretty much instantly became the fan whipping boy whenever they wanted some pompous asshole to get some well deserved humiliation... or just decked in the face. Also of note is his title of 'Prince' and the claim that he is Celestia's nephew, which makes no sense. That is the result of Executive Meddling, the writers had made him a Duke, still high ranking nobility enough for Rarity to go golddigging on him, but the suits thought that kids would be too stupid to understand what a 'duke' is and made them make him a Prince. (These are the same suits that made Celestia and Luna 'Princesses" rather then queens, since they claimed that kids think of queens as being evil old hags, and Princesses as being the good, beautiful figures you look up to.) There have been those that try to defend him on the grounds that Rarity was an obvious gold digger so this was all an act to teach her a lesson and drive her off.... which MIGHT be reasonable.. if not for his reaction to Applejack and her food cart. We also meet another major pillar of fanon, Octavia Melody, the grey Earth Pony cellist with a bow tie that Pinkie gets very friendly with during her song. Nearly always paired with the other main music based Background pony, DJ-PON-3, either as lovers, roomates, professional acquaintances, or just friends, they are nearly always together serving as great contrast between each other. Vinyl the rambunctious, energetic rebel into dubsteb and anything with wubs, Octavia the posh, proper lady into classical. We also get one of the greatest and most endearing ships in the fandom... Soarin x Pie! On a personal note, I love this episode for just how much it works, how much they fit into the time frame, how much it tackles so well... this is perhaps the best paced episode of the entire show..... which is notable because as things progress, if there is one overall, systemic issue that plagues this show, it is not being good at handling it's pacing. Now on to Season 2, where things will be getting a lot more..... chaotic.
