1	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: It's left open-ended whether or not there was any truth to Applejack's "Apple Chord" story.
2	* AluminumChristmasTrees: Geese being kept as guards [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guard_goose is a thing in real life]].
3	* ContestedSequel: Due to both being milestone episodes, comparisons with "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E9SliceOfLife Slice of Life]]" over which one was better were inevitable.
4	* FanficFuel:
5	** How would the castle defenses be revised?
6	** Space travel exists considering Pinkie's ImagineSpot includes her wearing a spacesuit.
7	** How does space works with the sun and moon -- two very prominent celestial bodies -- being magically controlled?
8	** How much command Shining Armor exactly has over the defense of Equestria?
9	** The previous Sibling Supreme competitions.
10	** Spike being raised in Twilight's household. When and how long was it?
11	* GeniusBonus:
12	** Having Shining Armor blab about the updated defenses to Twilight seems like a stupid move at first. But after the episode is over, it's shown that the defenses are to be revised now that the flaws have been pointed out. Workers in the software industry will recognize this as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_test penetration test]], where the flaws of a system are revealed by trying to hack into it.
13	** While the geese might seem like a joke, in real life Guard Geese are something used on farms, as geese are easy to train and remain quiet at night unless spooked while also being hard to distract like some guard dogs.
14	* MemeticMutation: [[https://derpibooru.org/2018681 This image]] of Princess Luna ominously stroking a goose while glowering at the group ''immediately'' became a meme.
15	* NarmCharm: This episode is incredibly nonsensical and zany, but you can't deny how hilarious it is.
16	* UnexpectedCharacter:
17	** No-one expected that Zephyr Breeze would be appearing in this episode.
18	** Maud Pie's cameo also came off as a surprise.
