Party of One (April 29th 2011, 22 minutes)

Summary: Pinkie Pie spirals into a depression after being rejected by her friends.

So that's where Rainbow Dash lives. I wonder if that entire place is her house, or if it's some kind of pegasi apartment building. It's quite large and decorative, with at least three floors, maybe four. It's a round tower design with Greek-styled pillars, with a dome top. Inside the door are key patterns, a standard art style normally attributed to Greek architecture, but also used by Celts, Nordic peoples and many others.

Interesting stylized dance pattern. Reminds me of the Charlie's Angels icon. And Twilight is dancing 'normally' here, unlike what she does in the future.

Cart train. Interesting.

Pinkie Pie officially lives above Sugar Cube Corners, and works there. That's not that unusual. When I was in University I knew a girl who worked in a bookstore and had an apartment above it.

Groucho Marx glasses. Meaning that there must be some kind of creature with a humanoid nose in this world. Or Pinkie Pie is somehow pulling stuff from other dimensions. Which wouldn't surprise me.

Again with the physical changes based on emotional state.

And the complete mental breakdown. With visible emotional spikes. I read one analysis that connected that to the pony going against their cutie-mark. While I would prefer to believe that the cutie-mark isn't quite so demanding, I can see where that's coming from.

Gramophone, a technology many years behind the turntable we've already seen in the show. Gramophones that played disk records were introduced at the beginning of the 20th century, while the electronic turntables were introduced in the 20's. The one seen previously was more a 1970's style. However, wind-up gramophones were still being sold in the late 1930's, and as real things, not for decoration or old-style hipsterism.
