Hey everypony! I just thought that I'd share what I loved about the newest ep. Sorry it took so long...I'm currently stuck in a hotel room four feet from my sleeping parents, so the last two nights, my attempt to see the newest ep and record my thoughts was a dismal failure. :\ But, tonight I hadz success! x3 That said, what i loved about Just For Sidekicks (and there's a LOT I liked about this ep:

1) We learn what happened to Peewee.

I really, REALLY love this kind of subtle exposition. In just thirty seconds, the show answers every question we could have related to what happened to Peewee after the episode where Spike joins the teen dragons, while still leaving practically everything open to interpretation for us writers. Truly a stroke of genius on the writers/storyboarders' part.

2) Development of Dashie and Tank's relationship.

Just like with Spike and Peewee, this answers a ton of questions and closes the too-open ending of how they got along. The way that they showed Tank as loving RD without a care in the world, and then RD pretending to be more his 'trainer' than a caring owner but then returning his affection when nopony's looking, is not only very in-character for both of them but totally hilarious.

3) Developing Spike's relationship with Owlowiscious and the CMC.

It's great to see Spike and Owlowiscious as friendly roommates rather than enemies. Also, the way that Owlowiscious's logical thinking method conflicted with Spike's total inability to understand him was hilarious. Now, Spike and the CMC was equally (if not more) amazing because it put two character entities that we love together and put them in situations where they're hilarious AND lovable (it friend-shipped them, if you will xP).

4) FORESHADOWING!...or something similar.

The way that the show had the Mane 6 visit the Crystal Empire and Cadance, tell us that a huge event went down, but NOT SHOW US ANY OF IT made me really curious. Which is a good thing! xD

All in all, this episode showed us what we really wanted to see and executed it flawlessly. I wuvved it! /)^3^(\
