* I hate to ask but...considering the, to be blunt, ''obvious to the point of parody'' implications and the mention of dresses that "show off your Cutie Mark"...does this mean that Cutie Marks are the pony equivalent of breasts? Because if so, this episode may have gotten more past the radar than every episode of WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife '''ever'''. Also that would officially make Applebloom a (puts on shades) [[JustForPun late bloomer]].

* What was Nightmare Moon exactly? split personality, brainwashing, an evil [[Franchise/SpiderMan symbiote entity]], a BeneathTheMask moment of Luna?. Nightmare Moon had an opposite personality from the little we saw of Luna. Compare Nightmare Moon who was much more confident (even making an evil speech and kidnapping Celestia) and more menacing looking. While Luna seemed like a more fragile timid and insecure pony (from the little we saw of her body language) wich make the riddle more intriguing.

*** That's not how the elements work. You don't need to be a thing every second of every day. Rainbow Dash is the element of loyalty because loyalty is a fundamental and core piece of who she is. Being loyal is important to her on a personal level but that doesn't mean she can't make mistakes. As far as the elements go you only need to eb in tune with your element when actively trying to use the magic of friendship.

** In that case, if anyone is to blame, then it would be Twilight, in my humble opinion. She was recruited as a judge for the contest, yet she never calls out Rainbow Dash on her behavior. In those circumstances, you can't blame Rainbow Dash for doing something she considers natural for her and that the impartial judge of the contest seems to be authorizing. But this raises the question, how could someone as [[SuperOCD obsessed over rules and order as Twilight is]] have turned a blind eye to Dash's antics?

** He gave nicknames to everyone - Rarity, the unicorn he has a crush on, Fluttershy, the pegasus who was very very nice to him when they first met and Twilight, the unicorn to whom he is number one assistant. It doesn't matter what relationship he has with them, he nicknamed them all.
* Did Spike really want to stay in the library to look for the cure or was he lying to stay and come up with a nickname for Twilight? Judging by the expression he has on his face during this scene, the latter seems more possible.

*** I could get this if it was any other pony, but..this one's The ELement of loyalty. It's her job to consistently loyal. Also, shouldn't she lose her element?

* More of a Meta question, why is this episode placed BEFORE "Fall Weather Friends" instead of after? Do the seasons come in a different order in Equestria? It's not likely that nearly an entire year went by in just three episodes, considering the whole plotline with the Galloping Gala that was ongoing in season 1, so is it just a simple case of OutOfOrder?

* We now have WordOfGod that [[https://derpibooru.org/images/2256835 it was Celestia who feed Nightmare Moon]] (they're no longer involved in the show, but they were at the time). So why didn't Celestia admit this afterward when everything worked out? They latter clarified [https://twitter.com/Fyre_flye/status/1222966286696583168 her word no longer applies]] due to no longer being the main showrunner, but it still sounds like it was her intent at the time.

* Why is Spike so eager to give Rarity a nickname poking fun at her condition? He has a crush on her.

* In the episodes song, Applejack says:

“But the food we've stored is runnin' out
And we can't grow in this cold”

Which has me wondering. If equestrians are capable of controlling the weather, why do they even have Winter? Just to suffer?

** Er, no. The concept is of doing things the ''Earth Pony'' way, just like the founders of Ponyville, before anyone knew what a pegasus or unicorn was. So allowing pegasi to use their talents, natural or not, is simply Mayor Mare CompletelyMissingThePoint.

** It's almost worth browsing the Headscratchers pages for [[SoBadItsGood this show]] just to see how many problems people can pick out. Like I'm honestly glad I read this conversation because my sides are in orbit right now.
