I'm not enjoying how they are characterizing with Pinkypie in season 3, she was always outrageous, funny, zany, easily distracted. But as the season goes along Pinkypie is treated like a simple minded low intelligence creature. The writers should discern the difference from being wild and hyper than from just being dumb. Especially in this episode where she keeps opening a letter box for example, and you say, well that is how she is, a bit zany. I say nay, she's smarter than that, her unusual way of coping or finding solutions is her strenght not her weakness. And that is the point. When she is just annoying that is all she is but if she is comic relief from her unusualy way of seeing the world then that becomes her charm and makes ponyville a better place.
