1* AccidentalInnuendo: This line said by Party Favor with a suggestive look and a smile on his face:
2--> "Well, you've certainly come to the right place for ''friendship''."
3* {{Adorkable}}: Twilight's obviously still not used to being a princess: when Double Diamond first introduces Twilight to Starlight, she does a nervous grin and fluffs up her wings before Starlight points it out.
4* FanficFuel: This episode introduces another ancient sorcerer, Meadowbrook, who apparently had eight famous magical relics attributed to her. Writers, get cracking!
5* FanNickname: Before Starlight Glimmer's name was revealed, fans were calling her Mayor Marks/Marx, a reference to Karl Marx, due to a joke that Starlight Glimmer was promoting Communism.
6* HilariousInHindsight:
7** Hoofball is confirmed to be canon several months after we see the Mane 6 promoting Super Bowl XLIX. Also hilarious to note that Fluttershy doesn't seem to like hoofball and yet [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E7Dragonshy owns a hoofball helmet]].
8** This is the first season premiere where the main threat to Equestria is [[{{Mundanger}} a relatively ordinary unicorn]], and the SoundOff song is called "In [[Recap/TheXFilesS02E24OurTown Our Town]]", which contains the title of an episode of ''Series/TheXFiles'' that also has a {{Mundanger}} in a TownWithADarkSecret.
9* IKnewIt: Based on the episode previews and animatics, many fans predicted that the episode would be about TheEvilsOfFreeWill and that the town would be something akin to a totalitarian regime. They were pretty much spot on.
10* {{Narm}}: Applejack's unusually deep voice when she says "Careful, Pinkie!"
11* StrawmanHasAPoint: Starlight Glimmer's insistence that cutie marks are evil and removing them is the only way to guarantee equality is revealed to be little more than a means of feeding her own lust for power. However, there are quite a few [[FridgeHorror inherently creepy]] things about the concept of a cutie mark. If your Cutie Mark and special talent turns out to be something that isn't all that useful or conducive to supporting yourself or, even with it, you're still rather mediocre compared to others with the same gift? Worse still, if you don't even ''want'' your mark, or to be marked for a specific destiny in general? Suddenly that village starts to have an appeal. [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E22MarksAndRecreation It certainly would to one colt in particular...]]
