1) The dogs were annoying. 2) It actually made me like Rarity LESS despite being an episode dedicated to her. 3) Rarity manipulates Spike into helping her because she's aware of his obvious infatuation with her. 4) The sum-up of the show was something along the lines of "Just because a pony is a lady doesn't mean she's weak." -- If I recall, Rarity "won" by bitching, moaning, and twisting words up to the point where the Diamond Dogs couldn't stand her anymore. Is that supposed to be a GOOD thing?
I honestly can't find a redeeming factor in this episode and is probably the reason Rarity is my least favorite.
Alright, something I've been meaning to post ever since it first came to mind upon watching the Season 5 premier of MLP... Oh, that reminds me: MAJOR spoilers for MLP's Season 5 premier episode (aka "The Cutie Map", originally to be titled "Cutie Markless", I believe) ahead!!! Now that we have that message out of the way, onto my rant! X3 It wasn't just upon first seeing the episode that I've been brewing these thoughts, though. I've noticed the implications upon seeing the previews of the episode beforehand, with the creators of the show explaining Starlight's intentions and plans and whatnot. And also since then, upon looking around DA and YouTube, a lot of people seem to think that Starlight Glimmer's town society (which was never specifically named, by the way) was run under communism. As a communist myself, I can without a doubt confirm that Starlight's society is NOT communism. Not in the bloody slightest. I may or may not be the first one to point this out, but I still feel a dire need to say it. Too many people are confused by this brutal mistake... even the writers of the episode itself.
