Well to be fair, the episode doesn't really define that mission all that well, so why not Daleks? I am 100% certain that a stray Dalek would have made that episode dazzle.

I don't have a problem with the idea of Twilight finding romance, or any of them doing so for that manner. Yeah, the argument can be made that show about friendship should focus exclusively on the relationship between friends, but there's enough room to explore any relationship the writers want to home in on. As long as they are willing to give it a go and try to give the romance the same amount of care they give everything else, it's cool with me. I don't even have a problem with characters created with being a potential love interest, as long as they're written as characters with personalities that add to the plot like any good character should. Also, no love triangles, because those suck. Not to mention that I don't ship Twilight with anyone, so there's no danger of Flash being a waifu-stealer. Not that it matters, as arguing that people only dislike Flash because he steals waifus is terrible and unfair to people who have a legitimate problem with the ship. Which, keeping in mind what I just said, I do. FlashLight sucks. Flash is a bland, one-dimensional character whose only role is to be the love interest. He doesn't add anything to the proceedings besides being handsome (or about as handsome as a flash-animated teenager with sickly yellow skin and Edward Cullen hair can be) and being unoffensive enough that he'd make a good boyfriend. A annoyingly boring and uninteresting boyfriend. Any personality he does have has been invented purely by the fans after the fact. Flash is a glorified background pony. A character as developed as Twilight deserves better than this nonsense. Sure, it's cute, but on a purely superficial level. I'm not thinking about how great a couple they are, because there's nothing to admire on any deeper level than the two both being attractive and therefore suitable for a relationship. The best I can say about the ship is that purple and gold go together. It isn't like the writers really wanted to do this; this comes in the middle of EQG, the ultimate in "We had to do this." Hasbro gave them a note about romance and they just threw it in there, with no investment or interest in making this aspect of the film not feel tedious. And god is it tedious; their interaction boils down to blushing and accidentally touching hands when they reach down to pick up books, and it's obnoxious, no matter how many times they do that over and over again. At least in those Disney movies that people accuses of being shallow there's some amount of evidence as to why the couple becomes a thing. You see them having fun together, or one person represents a better life to the other, or something, anything at all. Here...there's nothing. Nothing. Of course, this wasn't so much a full blown romance like in Disney so much as it's just a mutual crush. As of right now anyway. They had Flash cameo twice in S4 after they said he wasn't going to, which doesn't really matter by itself, but he's coming back in Rainbow Rocks, so colored me nervous this trite crap is gonna pop back up. So basically, regarding Flash:

Than whatever the buck, but my other points still stand.

Heh, I can imagine this being some sort of gag argument they have in an episode. Anyway, Applebloom is probably the closest they have to a leader.

AJ must be sacrificed as tribute to Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, so that they might receive another apple to replace the one the eldest daughter ever so foolishly threw away. I mean, those things don't grow on trees.

I dunno, Gilda? Probably makes the most sense, seeing as she started out as Dash's childhood friend and all, but I'd prefer the writers not shoehorn her into an episode for the sake of redemption. We need to know more about Chrysalis and her subjects before any redemption takes place, and Tirek and Sombra are complete and utter monsters who beyond the point of redemption in any form.
