I only enjoyed it because it featured the regular characters a lot. That rescued it from being as bad as the other episodes focused on the little little ponies. I can't stand those little twerps and their quest for the cutie marks. It was okay once, but this has been what, the third episode with them with the exact same plot? Those kids do nothing else but hunt for their cutie marks. That's just writer laziness, is what it is. They're like a backup plan for the writer to fall back on when out of ideas. "I can't think of anything, so I'll just whip up some filler by having the twerps run around doing random shit again."

I'm just waiting for one of them to get kidnapped by Luna, Gilda and/or The Great and Powerful Trixie.  And then come back with her cutie mark before the others get theirs.

Yessss...  Turn to the dark side...

Heh, we kinda did that this past week in TwitterPonyverse. Night Mare Moon came back and gave magic powarz to anypony who pledged allegiance to her. Scootaloo did so, IIRC, and got a cutire mark (though I forget what it was.)

Also, NMM turned out to not be Luna in our 'verse. WHAT A TWEEST!

Anyway, who else liked the episode for actually providing some backstory? I mean, most of the ponies didn't get anything new (of note anyway), but Twilight's backstory was expanded manyfold. Now we actually know why she ended up as Celestia's protegee, and that she has extraordinary magical powers. Granted, the powers were hinted at before, but we couldn't be sure that it was just due to her zealous studying or some innate powers. I also like how they managed to fit in how she met Spike. The big question now is: do every student of Celestia's school get a pet dragon secretary? And if so; where do they get all the dragon eggs?

Pinkie Pie's rock-farm past was also... interesting, to say the least, but not really noteworthy.

Rainbow and Fluttershy's past also gave an interesting tidbit of information: apparently Fluttershy had never been to the ground before the race incident. This implies that it is at least semi-common for pegasi to live their whole life among the clouds.

I'm still unsure if Pinkie Pie's backstory is totally legit or not. If not, she's either slightly cracked or she's playing a silly prank on the CMC.

Argh, but Fluttershy is afraid of heights half the time. I just don't understand. O_O

Yeah, I definitely liked the backstory bits. Twilight's in particular seems like an attempt by the writer to sneak in something resembling a story arc spanning more than one episode.
As for Twilight meeting Spike, I'm surprised nobody noted the glaring continuity error. In the first episode of the show, Spike says he started out as a purple and green egg. In the latest episode, Spike's egg is all purple with no green on it whatsoever. I just can't take the show seriously anymore after this. It's RUINED FOREVER.

Well, maybe it was purple and green on the inside? (Haven't seen the episode yet)

Nope.

Yeah, it was spotty on the other side.
...Nah, seriously, I've seen this discussion on Ponychan, it's pretty much 100% agreed there that the egg was just purple.

The big question now is: do every student of Celestia's school get a pet dragon secretary? And if so; where do they get all the dragon eggs?
It may have just been an entrance requirement, but then have the dragon go on to work at the college.
And that then, Celestia's student would get the dragon in that case, I figure.
