Really glad they cut it down the 30 seconds opening we have now
Hey, hey, now, what are you talking about? The extended theme is awesome! It actually sounds like something composed by Daniel Ingram now without huge chunks of the song missing.
-- SuperNiceDog is about 20% cooler then the other gurus.
I kind of liked the extended theme, but I will acknowledge the regulations intro is much better.

I want to say that the extended version was done after the original intro. The video certainly was, as it doesn't appear to have any clips that aren't from the Friendship Express episodes.
-- "Go get me Jared...from Subway!" -- CM Punk Gurus vs. SuperNiceDog is not even worthy of the Rivalry Rumble.
Iron Will was awesome. And Fluttershy was pretty great too! I really like that they don't feel they have to cram all 6 mane ponies in the episode if it isn't necessary. Having just the 3 ponies was great for the episode. I also LOVED the valley girl ponies.
-OH NO HE DI'IN'T B**** SLAP FLUTTERSHY! -Gurl, are you gonna take that? Oh... I guess you are. -Lol Rarity, not everyone can pull that off -The Bugs Bunny method? -Okay, this is getting ridiculous. 12 bits for a cherry? And then 2... That's messed up! Maybe if you hadn't said you needed it so desperately, but that still made no sense from the shopkeep's perspective. A potential 10 or even 5 bits would trump a guaranteed 2. -Okay, things need to change -Kicking a pony seems out of character for Bon Bon... -I LOVE this Minotaur! -My, there is a lot of flank slapping going on in this ep -Flutterb**** RETURNS! -In excess -Uh oh... Don't make your friends cry... -:'( -Iron Will starting to remind me of a professional wrestler. They look big and tough but they don't actually hurt anyone on purpose either. -Yay! Fluttershy learns to stand up for herself without being a b****! And YAY a conflict is resolved without the loser being completely humiliated and forced to leave town! Couldn't have happened to a nicer Minotaur.
Good ep, rife with humor and with a good lesson at the end.
8.8/10

Yeah, I was too harsh in my original opinion. I still think Mega Flutter***** hurting her friends without much impetus was a little ridiculous, but it's still a pretty funny episode most of the time. I do love the conclusion, though.

Holy crap, was that awesome or what? The suddenness of Fluttershy's personality change was a bit disconcerting, but overall I was seriously impressed with how much quality they managed to pack into just under 22 minutes of airtime. I absolutely love how they're continually expanding on the relationships between the main cast - did Rarity and Pinkie even have any significant interaction in season 1?
I really want to see a follow-up episode where Iron Will beats the **** out of Trixie and the Flim-Flams. Actually, even if it was just a fan-animation, it would still make me squee like a little girl. Someone, get on this idea quickly!
For me, the following episodes are a significant step in quality above all the rest: (Season 1) 1. Suited For Success 2. Winter Wrap Up 3. The Cutie Mark Chronicles 4. Best Night Ever 5. Feeling Pinkie Keen (Season 2) 1. The Last Roundup 2. Lesson Zero 3. Secret of My Excess 4. Putting Your Hoof Down 5. May the Best Pet Win!
What else did I want to say... oh yes, I am super-hyped for the concept of next week's episode. I have a sneaking suspicion that it won't involve any ACTUAL time travel... but even so, I just don't think there's any way that a team with such a proven track record can screw up a great idea like this one.
You guys should be nice and let me have the 500th post. I promise I'd make it worth your while. :)
