Trivia / My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic S5 E2 "The Cutie Map – Part 2"

• Defictionalization: Party Favor's balloon bridge, plus balloon characters.
• Teasing Creator: Meghan McCarthy, as usual, takes a few playful shots at the fans with her live viewing tweets, including an Alternate Aesop Interpretation listed on the episode's YMMV page.
• What Could Have Been: M. A. Larson revealed Mage Meadowbrook was originally named Jasmine Flower, which "sounded a little more Eastern". It was changed presumably for "legal reasons". That would explain why when Mage Meadowbrook debuted, she was a completely different character (and race) than presented here.
