* The episode \\\"Dragon Quest\\\" has a major wall-banger at the end. Long story short, Spike refused to smash a phoenix egg after a group of rowdy teenage dragons dare him to do so. He then takes the egg home and decides to raise the baby phoenix (Named \\\"Peewee\\\") as his own. This is supposed to parallel how Spike was adopted and raised by ponies. The problem? Unlike Spike, whom it is explicitly stated that they \\\'\\\'never\\\'\\\' knew who his parents were (implying they died or they (accidentally) abandoned him as an egg), it\\\'s established that Spike knows who Peewee\\\'s parents are and knows where they live. In other words, he could\\\'ve just as easily tried to find Peewee\\\'s parents and return him to them. Hey, Spike? We have a term for taking a child from their parents. It\\\'s called \\\"kidnapping\\\".

I\\\'d like to contest this entry. Spike had to travel something like several days by foot following a large migration of dragons which likely would have been over by then, meaning the most obvious landmark would have been lost. Combined with the fact that he would have had to backtrack to where the original nest would be (because Twilight teleported them home while the egg was in tow), then find where they relocated to, and adding the fact with the flying birds most likely scattering to a safer location, this means tracking Peewee\\\'s original parents would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack... in another city... that you only have a vague idea the directions to.
