Oooooooooo, psyched for this episode.   I think it goes without saying that A LOT of us in the fandom have been waiting for a long, long, LONG time to see Rainbow Dash finally join the Wonderbolts, so here's hoping DHX does this momentous occasion justice! 

[Varrack 1,080]

This may be it...the moment RD joins the Wonderbolts!

 

They hype is real!

I'm so so proud of Rainbow Dash. 

 

 

*wipes away tear* 

[Batbrony 16,051]

Rainbow-heart attacks... Rainbow-heart attacks everywhere. 

 

Whelp, guess she won't be able to perform in the show.

I love that we've finally come to this moment after being built up literally since Day One, and it's handled in a cold opening and just serves as the set-up to an episode about being embarrassed

Looks like I caught a weird face by Scootaloo, also well, we gonna need an explaination on why she's suddenly a wonderbolt lol

[Soaring Symphony 372]

So Rainbow Dash is finally a Wonderbolt?  It's about f***ing time.

[Truffles 2,033]

I like the Thor-style landing Spitfire did there! Dang, the moment Scoots revealed the promotion I got a chill...

[Cosmik Vek 764]

Well, nice callback to 1,2,3 Testing, Testing here

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

Backstory stuff; nice to bring that up.

>Spike being a squashed buttmonkey here

 

Jesus Christ, DHX, Spikabuse isn't funny and will NEVER be funny!

I would have called her "Rainbow Trash."

 

That can be her gimmick. She throws trash all over the runway and then she eats the garbage.

Awwwwwwww, sad Dashie makes me sad.    That said, she is also doing herself no favors by trying to keep up a cocky demeanor, so hopefully this'll be a case where both she and the Wonderbolts learn something.

[Truffles 2,033]

Okay, so I guess I can see what's happening here - they gave her the one nickname that actually hurts her feelings, and it's probably giving her anxiety during her training exercises. I can see this as plausible, but we'll see if it's gets out of hand...

I bet that crossed their mind, but I'm guessing DHX decided that would be too harsh of a nickname.  Calling someone trash is a pretty mean thing to say.  Plus Rainbow Crash was canon already, so nice callback as well.

[Cosmik Vek 764]

I hope this finishes well for both Dash and the Wonderbolts, because their interactions just feels so awkward right now

And Pinkie reads your mind! 

[Orablanco Account 3,707]

A-HA! Frigging knew it. Plebs.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

Okay, the episode got a bit cringe-worthy here... :/

[Cosmik Vek 764]

Rainbow Dash going Pinkie Pie mode there lol!

[Orablanco Account 3,707]

"I prefer the nickname 'T-Bone.'"

 

Ashleigh Ball is struggling to not completely sound like Applejack.

[Radiance64 7,053]

lol what is Rainbow Dash doing

Ashleigh is just doing all the characters as Dash

[Cosmik Vek 764]

Rainbow Dash going Pinkie Pie mode there lol!

Or just mane 6 mode at an extent

[Slashy 101]

Why is she impersonating her friends? Why does everyone seem like a superficial version of themselves?
