I sure would like to know how it got out early.
I'd blame iTunes, probably. If not that, then somebody much closer to the source accidentally(?) let it out, but I doubt that would be the case.
I found this to be another pretty good episode. I wouldn't call it as strong as the ones from the last two weeks, but I still enjoyed it. Then again, I like RD and I'm partial to pegasi in general, so I was bound to like this episode.
But we did get something that was pretty well-needed as of late: a little more loyalty coming out of Dashie. Or more just her not coming off as a self-centered jerk most of the time. In that regard, we got two pretty decent episodes in a row of development for RD. I can't complain.
It did kinda put her talent for flying into perspective, though. This is probably one of the better comparisons we've had between her and other general pegasi around her age. While I feel like the shortcomings of many of the other ponies was a little over-exaggerated, it did really illustrate just how strong a flier she is. We have to assume that there was some sort of screening process for applicants, so that ponies like Fluttershy wouldn't even get in. And out of that group, there were just two ponies there who were exceptional at flying.
