I think one thing I liked about today's episode is that when Rarity's generosity comes into question, she goes to the opposite end trying to guilt trip the mane six into working extra hard, but doesn't go so far to make her to make her unlikeably OOC, a trap writers sometimes fall into (A certain episode from "Littlest Pet Shop" comes to mind).

Yeah, and the mane 6 understood it, didn't hold it against her, and knew both why she was acting like that, and still stuck with her. THAT was freaking perfect.

Yeah, the Rainbow Power toys look stupid. Then again the Crystalization was only temporary too, so hopefully it won't be a big deal.

And confirmation that the spool of thread will be something important.

Regarding the Rainbow Power thing, its actual appearance in the show may not match up exactly with the toy line. Remember when there were those Equestria Girls toys that had the cutie marks on the cheek? So if you don't like the design there's still a chance it will look better on the show.

Or, you know, maybe not.

Reminds me of the moment in A Dog And Pony Show where Twilight and RD hug in midair after colliding. I'm surprised it hasn't shown up out of context.

I didn't really like how Rarity acted when she was making the others help her. I suppose that was the intended result, though. Some of it sounded so stupid though. "What? You want to GO to the show I got you tickets for? How could you abandon me like that after I got you the tickets!"

And yeah, based on this episode I think ALL those last-second scenes are going to be important. I just don't know how.

Lastly, a bit of Fridge Logic over Rarity helping Coco get that job helping the musical director/producer with costumes for the next show. How the heck did SHE feel about Rarity getting someone else to do her work for her?

Rarity was stressed and not being completely reasonable.

[up][up]Shipping her with ANYONE is crack, she only appeared for like five minutes in the episode.

I still don't see how it worked out.

Which part, that her friends made up with her? Because it's far from the worst thing they've done over the series.

She was stressed, she had just had her entire world view shattered. Everything she believed in thrown in her face and used to ruin her. So she over reacted. If that was how things really were, then FINE, she could do that too.

her friends understood that, understood why she was acting that way, why what happened hurt her so much.

Yeah the whole emotional roller coaster was a bit fast paced for me, but good for the show and the time limit.

I know Rarity's things is generosity, but watching her get back stabbed is a good reminder that not all good deeds get rewarded. It is an unfortunate fact of life. At least the ponies she was generous towards returned the favor in more ways than one.

Crazy Coco Pommel's got 90 images already, her popularity is only going to grow. Not bad for a sympathetic pony with about 4 minutes of screen time. Then again, we've done far more with far less to work with.
