Haha. I'd probably cry if Hasbro referenced that in. But copyright says otherwise so they couldn't do it even if they wanted to.
This is my second favorite episode. I love how Rainbow acts in this episode (and I think that little leg wiggle she does at the end is adorable)
This is what I meant back in "One Bad Apple". Most episodes are used to STRENGTHEN the friendship between the Mane Six. Make them closer to each other, find out common interests, helping each other in their time of need. That's why I like episodes like this one (that strengthens the friendship between Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle) or "Hurricane Fluttershy" (that strengthens Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's friendship) more like "One Bad Apple".
WOW! Can't believe I've never weighed in on this episode since it IS my favorite! THIS is the reason Dashie is my favorite pony. She's hardheaded as hell, gets bored really easily, doesn't like to admit she was wrong, and TOTALLY fell in love with the Daring Do series after just one book... kinda like I did with the show after just 2 episodes. I related to her a LOT. I could go on and on about the episode itself but since I pretty much liked EVERYTHING about it, you'd do just as good reading the full synopsis on a wiki page.
