OK, time for what looks like a Rainbow Dash episode!
• Celestia’s not a jock! Celestia’s clique is the Young Professionals/Student Council President group, you know the overachievers who wear suits and take Model UN way too seriously. Luna is chess club.
• Pinkie, Fluttershy, Snails, and now Rainbow Dash? That’s like 1.3 coaches per actual player.
• Naw dog, you should get Dash’s
parents to coach the cheerleaders.
• Hey, a commercial starring Jay Johnston! He’s a funny guy.
• Oh how nice, after 9 years Snips gets a personality trait.
• Did you know that cheering squads started as unorganized hooligans just hollering from the sidelines to distract the players? It’s true!
• Japan would know how to do this right. There’d be an anime where cheerleading is The Most Important Thing In Life, literally a matter of life and death, also one member of the club would be a secret time traveler.
• Snips is the voice of reason. That’s where we’re at right now.
• Have we seen a unicorn levitate themselves, like Snails is doing here? Seems like that would come in handy a
lot.
• I wonder if “nag” is offensive to horses.
• Gotta admit, Dash is acting pretty much how I do when I don’t want to do a job.
• Man, everyone’s reading Dash the riot act today. I mean she totally deserves it, but the kids are straight-up dissing her to her face. I expect Scootaloo’s gonna cameo for 10 seconds just to tell her she sucks.
• So Dash got motivated by framing the problem as a competition, basically. Checks out.
• Twilight’s teaching her stealth friendship lessons like a pro.
MINI-REVIEW: 2, 4, 6, 8? Eh, I’ll give it a 6.
