| 1 | * BaseBreakingCharacter: Trenderhoof's bland characterization. TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter who should have been portrayed more extreme at the risk of being a [[TheScrappy scrappy]] caricature, or is that an IntendedAudienceReaction because he was ''supposed'' to be uninteresting? |
| 2 | * BrokenBase: This episode, for focusing on romance. Some don't like it because they feel it violates Creator/LaurenFaust's stated intention of the show being NoHuggingNoKissing[[note]]which was never true; Rarity was interested in romance right from the start[[/note]]. Others don't mind since it illustrates the general "BeYourself" moral well. Still others consider it a non-issue due to RuleOfFunny, and the fact that he doesn't end up with either of them anyway. |
| 3 | * FanNickname: "Applejewel" and "Rarihick" originated from this episode. |
| 4 | * UnpopularPopularCharacter: Trenderhoof describes fan-favorite MemeticBystander Derpy as "unappreciated" in-universe. This could be a meta-joke, seeing as this was one of Derpy's first cameos after Derpygate (where the Pegasus's sequence in "The Last Roundup" was retroactively censored due to complaints) led to her not appearing at all in Season 3 aside from the finale. It can be seen as a mild TakeThat against the {{Executive Meddl|ing}}ers, since several of the DHX staff are known to like her. |
