I think it was a decent episode, but like others have noted, it didn't answer very much lore. That said, this is a show designed for 10 year old girls, so history lessons aren't exactly first on their agenda. The periphery demographic really has no right to complain when Hasbro has already been so accommodating. The aesop at the end is certainly one of the strongest ones I've seen this season so far, however.

Fluttershy
:
Was I complaining? I'm so sorry...
The preiphery demographic did get a few smaller but appreciateable bonuses; such as the fact Dragon migrate in massive groups, whereas we've seen them as solo creatures so far, and that Phoenix's lay nests with half a dozen eggs or so. The continuity of Fluttershy's assertiveness but still-remaining timidness is also up there, but I already mentioned that.
It also touched on RarityxSpike, something we havn't seen since said dragon's last feature episode. It's clear Rarity cares a little more about him, but more in the 'he's such a cute little guy', almost big-sister like fashion than a romantic interest. Or maybe she's just a hyper-protective girlfriend, the episode was also vauge on that.

Well, sort of commenting on what I've read elsewhere as well as on here. :P I also particularly liked the information about phoenixes and seeing some of their powers (fire teleportation, Dumbledore style, is
awesome
). I would have liked it if Spike spent less time being bullied by condescending arses and maybe talking to an older, wiser dragon, but as I said. I guess that wouldn't be as entertaining for their main target demographic. What I'm wondering, however, is if Spike's lack of wings is some form of birth defect (as I didn't see a single wing-less dragon in the episode), or if he's a different (perhaps endangered/almost extinct) breed or something.

I noticed the same thing, at first I thought those "ears" of his were in fact his wings and they would lower themselves down onto his back as he got older, but if I'm not mistaken he also had no wings as an adolescent or an adult in Secret of my Excess.

What is Friendship
? Haters don't bother me, don't bother me, no more.

That teenager yelling "Kind of the Hoard" reminded me of Garrosh.
Also, I can't help but love camoflage ponies.
Loved seeing some if the world outside of Equestria too. Haven't seen that since Hearth Warming's Eve.
Felt uncomfortably close to "Dragon Tales" territory at times, though.

Finally found
Epiosde 22
on Youtube. And I think I speak for all bronies when I say: DERPY'S EYES! FTW!
And I'm with Skreeran on this one; when Fluttershy gave up after bombing the wingpower test I started to feel like I was going to cry. ESPECIALLY when we saw Fluttershy crying. I didn't, though, and I feel terrible because of it - not crying, that is.
Also; seeing RD willingly and so quickly deciding that the record wasn't important the moment she realized breaking it was impossible was a highlight of this episode. Another highlight was Angel comforting Fluttershy along with all of the other animals - either the assertiveness training
really
helped or the bunny isn't as much of a jerkass as we keep thinking he is.
And this episode only makes me more angry that people got upset about Derpy. If they hadn't we could have had more lines! DAMN YOU HYPERSENITIVE POLITICALLY CORRECTNESS!
Oh, and Fluttershy really is a tree now. Go figure.
EDIT: almost forgot;
this guy
. I call him Roidhooves.

Anypony else excited for the season finale? Princess Cadence and Shining Armor may seem like bad OCs, but based on the previews we've had, it looks like it'll actually be pretty good.
