So of course he would be the business associate of someone played by fellow former-villain Starlight Glimmer!

** Adult dragons also seem terribly lazy, and violently territorial. It's entirely likely they don't really care about being Dragon Lord enough to leave their own fiefdoms. And Torch's challenge and style of ruling rely on AsskickingEqualsAuthority; he wouldn't be able to control a group of adult dragons through force.

* It may at first seem odd that Rainbow Dash doesn't try to fly away when cornered by the zombies, but the reason is clear when she tells them they can't have more cookies. Rainbow isn't really concerned about her safety or getting away, she just doesn't want the ponies to have more of what she believes is making them sick. She ''is'' the Element of Loyalty.
* The brick sandwich prank may not have been as dangerous or mean-spirited as it seemed, given that Pinkie and her family [[EatDirtCheap eat rocks]] with no ill effects. And even if it ''was'', it's possible Rainbow might not have realized it because of this.

* Why wasn't Starlight involved with the zombie prank? Well, apart from the obvious answer of how she wasn't pranked by Rainbow Dash, it's likely she saw Ponyville's prank as an act of revenge and knowing her history involving vengeance and what dreadful repercussions it nearly caused, it makes sense why she wouldn't want anything to do with the prank.

** Also, Thorax is a former villain who has reformed and wants friends but is hated by practically everybody. No wonder Spike and later Twilight jump to his defense. [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks They've seen this before]]. So they know how can such an experience affect somebody, and don't want anybody else to go througth that again.

** In addition, it would scare any pony to do something they ''used to'' love doing, against their own will. Think about it, Big Mac used to talk because it was what he did whenever he felt upset. He eventually learned that talking isn't a bad thing, he just needed to do it in moderation. If you compared that to [[ObsessedWithFood comfort food]], then not only is it scary because Big Mac is trying to quit the habit, but it's like being under a spell that makes you [[UpToEleven force-feed]] yourself.

* The ponies were acting in a fashion similar to when they were influenced by the "Want-It-Need-It" spell in "Lesson Zero"

* The scene where one of Dr. Caballeron's henchmen buys a pillow with Daring Do isn't necessarily FoeYay. Note that she's captured in the picture, so it could easily be an allusion to an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome for the guy.
