History Awesome / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicSeason6

** Her magic bursts hint at the potency of her alicorn powers, especially when she shatters the Crystal Heart by ''[[MakeMeWannaShout screaming]]''.

* Upon finding out that Changelings kidnapped Fluttershy, [[BewareTheSillyOnes Discord]] enters full-on TranquilFury mode and agrees to help Starlight. It's probably the first time in the series that we've actually seen Discord truly angry. There's also how he casually [[BigDamnHeroes shows up]] right when Starlight laments that almost everyone with powerful magic has already been captured.

* First up has to be the meta one, that after five seasons of complaints about the show's inability to do episodes focusing on Spike without making him look too much like an idiot or jerk, they finally came through with this one which was immediately hailed as easily the best Spike episode they've ever done.

* On a meta level, the episode itself: The episode approaches a D&D type game, and portrays it realistically, and without any stereotypes. No nerds, no pocket protectors, in fact one of the players is Big Macintosh, one of the biggest, most masculine ponies in the show, and while Twilight Sparkle seems put off by the presentation at the end, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, the two seeming least likely to be expected, plunge in without hesitation. If ever there was a DeconstructorFleet for Dungeons and Dragons-type roleplaying, this is it.

* Another big meta one, as after ''six seasons'' of being TheScrappy, the portrayal of Snails in this episode got a lot of fans suddenly liking him, and managed to do it without ever contradicting anything about his earlier portrayal, making it feel like a completely natural extension of the character.

* On a meta-level, this episode gets one for finally explaining a mystery that has spanned more than half the series: Why couldn't Chrysalis absorb the love Shining Armor and Princess Cadance created? Because she can only absorb love when she takes it, not when it's given.

** Twilight is the first to come around though. It may be that she remembers what happened between her and Trixie and realizes she's repeating those same mistakes with Thorax.

** Twilight is the first to come around though, once she remembers what happened between her and Trixie and realizes she's repeating those same mistakes with Thorax.

* Starlight, despite lacking magic and being physically outmatched, doesn't hesitate to lecture Chrysalis on her flawed leadership. She is well aware Chrysalis could easily crush her, but she still tries to talk her down, even invoking NotSoDifferent:

* Rarity calling out Zesty Gourmand for her overly-strict standards, and rallying the other restaurant patrons in defense of giving restaurants the freedom to do things their way instead of in the cookie-cutter fashion we saw earlier in the episode.
