Read the Rarity micro-comic. It's good, but Flax Seed and Wheat Grass got on my nerves for being incompetantly aloof, and Filthy Rich became an antagonist by association. My personal viewpoint: CMC > Pinkie >>> Rarity = Celestia > Rainbow Dash >>> Luna >> Fluttershy.
I'd really like to take all the writers - show and comics - put them in a room and let them discuss their view on all the characters, until they come to an agreement what can, cannot, should and shouldn't be things that the characters do, are or represent.
It was... I can't describe it. Weird? Strange? It was definitely not what I expected. Didn't really suit Spike, I think. Funny idea with the sea people, though.
