* [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic What Do You Mean, It's Not Symbolic?]]: [[spoiler: Parental sacrifice of the most goodhearted of a damned species, that is to say, Hydia's slaying of Draggle, brings forth resurrection for both the world at hand and the sacrificed child. This is in fact a hard subversion of the [[TheMessiah messianic]] trope, as Hydia had evil intentions and resurrection was not at all part of the plan.]]

* EurekaMoment: In the penultimate chapter, both the Doctor and Twilight (albeit at separate times) realize how to defeat the S'Müz (using the Sonic Screwdriver to reverse the polarity of the Elements of Harmony). With the Doctor, it's when Rainbow mentions how life is being ''pulled'' out of everything around them. For Twilight, it's when the same pony mentions how the current situation ''sucks''.
