cuteycindyhoney 13,307 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 I've always theorized that Rainbow's sudden love of reading (and obsession with Daring Do) was directly caused by brain damage sustained from this crash. After all, if it was hard enough to shatter bone, how would have brain tissue, which is the first thing to hit the ground, fared? You make it sound like loving to read is a bad thing. I absolutely LOVE reading! I honestly can't remember a day that I didn't do any recreational reading. When Twilight became overjoyed when she found the library in the Castle of the Two Sisters, I know exactly how she felt. I felt that way the first time I visited the main branch of the New York Public Library. I was so excited to see all of those books! Thank you Sparklefan1234!!!

Well, I never said the effect was bad, but I was talking about what caused it. And also, you can't tell me the behavior Rainbow exhibited in Daring Don't and Trade Ya! was a healthy liking of reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly love that Rainbow is a fangirl. Never underestimate a fangirl's ability to go a little crackers. Sadly, I'm living proof of this. Thank you Sparklefan1234!!!

Never underestimate a fangirl's ability to go a little crackers. Sadly, I'm living proof of this. Going as far as to near-literally kiss your favorite author's ass, or selling your best friend as a slave to get a special edition book, is not mentally sound behavior no matter how you put it. This episode was pretty funny with the exception of Rainbow Dash. I really don't like her. Maybe they should've done the Daring Do part as standalone. If anything I only liked the first 5 minutes of Rainbow Dash, because of the House M.D.-style drama. It would've probably been better if they only did the Daring Do part or the hospital part. Because who says hospital episodes can't be fun? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonasDarkmane 19,785 June 3, 2015 Share June 3, 2015 I quite liked the episode. Was rather funny to see RD act like she did, one of the few episodes with her that I enjoyed .

Zerbu 72 August 16, 2015 Share August 16, 2015 The funny thing about showing this episode to someone who is just becoming a brony is that not only will the viewer be going through a very similar experience to Rainbow Dash while watching the episode, but Rainbow Dash is going through a similar experience to Daring Do with her broken wing. It's like triple relatable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyNamedEarl 1,332 September 3, 2015 Share September 3, 2015 I like the episode and all, buts it's kind of stupid. I mean, Rainbow Dash goes to such great lengths for what?

GiFTGewEhrSCHutzen-4 8,828 September 25, 2015 Share September 25, 2015 I love this episode! Love the part were Ahuizotl faces Daring Do, then out of nowhere, "Hellooo, Rainbow Dash!". XD And also love the chase scene at the end, with the crazy patient, barking like a dog!

cmarston1 5,959 June 24, 2016 Share June 24, 2016 I quite liked this episode. The Daring Do sections gave room for a lot of fun and creative action sequences. Plus there were some pretty funny moments from Rainbow Dash here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Cartoonist 7 July 27, 2016 Share July 27, 2016 I found something peculiar in this episode: While fleeing from the doctors in the hospital, Rainbow Dash stumbled into a bookshelf, mixing up her copy of Daring Do with other books, one of them interestingly enough is the Supernatural book seen in Bridle Gossip, which is the same book owned by Twilight Sparkle and Zecora.

Moony the Cat 3,702 January 7, 2018 Share January 7, 2018 I liked this Episode, it was quite funny^^Even though im not sure, the main heroes are well presented, if they start to do illegal stuff, like breaking into a Hospital and then trying to steal something. Might be a little much. Sig made by Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrond 3,263 February 11, 2018 Share February 11, 2018 You know, if all Rainbow Dash episodes were like this, she'd easily be my favourite character in the show, no contest. See, whereas garbage like "The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well" presents Rainbow's boasting and insistence on "coolness" as just being her own inflated ego, here it's all linked to insecurity. She puts on a face because she's worried about being judged, and given the "smart ponies like you" quote at the end, it's possible she's worried about being judged because she's insecure about her intelligence. Further, this is a great example of just how expressive the characters in this show can be, and Rainbow's boisterous personality lends itself well to all sorts of charming little touches. And this is just one of the show's best morals, with a very wide range of real-world applicability. I'm not the first to compare it to men being embarrassed about enjoying women's or girls' entertainment (like My Little Pony, for instance), but it's there - good job fighting toxic masculinity, show! I admit that I get a bit impatient with Rainbow's attempts to retrieve the book at the end, but there's just so many solid gags even in that scene that I can get over the modest secondhand embarrassment. And besides, the embarrassment is the point, no? This is all really funny, and the Daring Do stories are genuinely exciting, too. One of my absolute favourites. Favourite moment this time: the brief moment where Ahuizotl is introduced, and we very briefly cut back to Rainbow, who says "whoa! Who is this guy?" Magical. Score: Entertainment: 9/10 Characters: 10/10 Themes: 10/10 Story: 9/10 Overall: 95/100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meushell 52 June 24, 2018 Share June 24, 2018 I enjoyed this episode, but the end was a bit over the top for me. Rainbow Dash could have easily just said, “I left something in the room. I want to get it.” She wouldn’t even have to say what it was. Surely the hospital would let her retrieve her own stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbertha 414 July 23, 2018 Share July 23, 2018 This was a very entertaining episode. There's not much to say aside from the jokes being funny and the Daring Do stuff being a lot of fun. Score: 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbertha 414 January 6, 2019 Share January 6, 2019 This episode is fine. I like all of the Daring Do stuff and Rainbow sneaking around is fun, but everything else is pretty dull. The message is incredibly on the nose, even for this show, and it's not presented in a very interesting way. Score: 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushing cash 836 May 2, 2019 Share May 2, 2019 9\10 A really nice episode with character development for dash. The comedy was good and the plot was interesting(it was nice to see a different side of RD here), I want her to get into other books as well, not only the daring do books. The episode nailed how a person tries to hide their new hobby that they think people will judge them upon(not including the theft part). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
