Also, isn't it an interesting phenomenon when an episode is now worse in hindsight? Like, at the time it was released it was amazing, but when you look back on it now after the development of the characters it's a bit harder to watch than it was before?

Dragonshy got that effect for me. At the time it was amazing because it showed what Fluttershy was really capable of - but it also, in hindsight, shows the vices of Rainbow's S1 portrayal, and the back and forth between them is grating now because of that.
