So, our long time buddy, RD has been framed, and guess who its up to to clear her name and prove her innocence? No, not Sherlock Homes... Rarity of course, plus a oddly really well narrated noir segment I must say... Now without furhter a do. Rarity Investigates! Let's jam!!

 

Plot- Rainbow Dash is accused of sending Spitfire away on a fake errand to replace her in a Wonderbolts aerial display and fly alongside her idol Wind Rider. Rarity investigates the crime to prove Rainbow's innocence, but her constant habit of acting out a film noir mystery makes Rainbow Dash believe she isn't taking things seriously. Despite this, Rarity is successfully able to identify the true culprit as Wind Rider, who confesses to framing Rainbow Dash to protect his flight speed record. Spitfire discharges Wind Rider from the Wonderbolts and allows Rainbow Dash to take his place in the display, while Rainbow Dash apologizes for doubting Rarity.

 

Yeah, I thought this episode would be like a Sherlock Homes paradoy of sorts, or a LA Confidential paradoy styled episode, but I was proven wrong today, the reason I thought these 2 are for good reason; Both are noir-type film/franshices, and both have a griity theme that could be easily parodied of sorts, or at least inspired by see: the anime Pysho pass for the best sci-fi decetive thriller EVER. But yeah, I thought this would be a somewhat paradied of sorts or at least have some mentioning or easter eggs or references but I tried. Also Rarity's narration is really awesome as well.

 

THE GOOD
The narration in this episode is oddly every well said, or maybe I just prefer Rarity's voice over the whole episode but regardless this was well done. Also I am starting RD this season... hmm. I am not sure why but her character is starting to make me think. All in all, soild episode here.

 

THE BAD
When did Rarity become a skilled PR (private investiagter) agent? Where did she get her skills from? Why didnt they just hire a pony for the case?! And if there is a "Doctor Whooves" why isnt there a "Sherlock Hooves" ?? Yep, that's all the complaints I have.

 

Rank: B+
Where is Sherlock Hooves?!

I was of the assumption that Rarity offered her help to a friend in need and rainbow dash was more than happy to accept any aid in her hour of need. Also, I presume that her love for mystery fiction combined with her strong attention to detail helped complimented her amateur detective skills, which turned out well enough. I agree with the grade otherwise.

Shadow Spade may provide us that if they decide to visit it again. Hopefully it will be better executed than what Daring Don't gave us.
