SPOILERS!!

They redeemed Diamond Tiara, gave the CCC their cutie marks and Applejack talked about the Apple parents!!?! In ONE EPISODE! Like dang! No overarching side plot, let's just dump the whole thing on you right now. 
I'm looking at you Magical Mystery Cure
I did enjoy the songs here A LOT more than said Princess episode though. For cereal. 
Also what's up with these redeeming bully characters? First Gravity Falls does it and now MLP. Are there other cartoons that do this and I'm just...oh right, I live under a rock. Just kidding, carry on.

I'm really excited to see Silverquill's After the Fact for this one since he's been saying they can't get cutie marks together for the longest time. That'll be fun. If you don't know who Silverquill is mlp-silver-quill.deviantart.co… BOOM you have no excuse now! Also go watch his review/analysis videos. They're nicely done, have great humor, and his thoughts on mlp are...well, thought provoking. DO IT
