I'm not a fan of stretching things for 2-3 episodes ( and MLP doesnt do that necessarily ) but there was action in here for two episodes. The plot was a bit overflowing. Cadance comes to PonyVille and fluttershy leaves ( I didnt even see the connection, why on earth would it matter) then Discord comes in all sick and tries to ruin the girls special day. The girls battle some ugly Dune like creature ( Im sure Im not the first that thought about that)
First off, the part about Fluttershy leaving, why would they let her go alone? They never go alone anywhere! Maybe I forgot, remind me, is there an episode where one of the girls leaves alone and nopony goes after her?
later edit : i remember, it was one episode where Applejack left for a rodeo I think. Yet again why did they let her go alone? No pinky cheer
Why is Discord so much into Twilight lately? You might say he's a trickster...and Twilight is an alicorn now... so he might be plotting something...I don't know, he keeps popping up through the series, sometimes out of the blue. Maybe it's because so many people like him ( I do too, he's fun, reminds me of someone)
