    awesome episode. Rainbow Dash's attitude was very good, and Fluttershy is a tree :D
    5/5
    yet to watch it 2nd time

    Wonderful episode. I laughed, I cried, I learned. FLUTTERTREE IS NOW CANON! lol

    I'm also happy they showed Dash's more sensitive side (haven't seen much of that in a while, sadly).

    And I've been seeing the name "Roid Rage" quite a bit, like on EQD, so I'm assuming it's pretty much fanon already.

    Awesome episode. Finally RD restraining herself of comments that hurt others. Haven't seen her like this for awhile. Awesome Fluttershy, really good humor. 9.5/10.

    Sidenote: Why Spitfire was standing like this instead of helping... it's like she didn't really care if there will be clouds coming out of Cloudsdale or not... :S

    First, Derpy appears as usual :derpe:
    then Fluttershy disguised as a tree. I knew everpony would talk about that. ::S:

    More ponies for us to adore, Cloudsdale backstory of rainwater, and our favorite ponies inbetween.

    Another great episode.
    One of the best? So far, in my top favorites.

    Yay, lots of Derpy, maybe a new record. With the Derpy masks included this episode has more Derpy than the Last Roundup:derpe:.


    And yay for a good portrayal of the two sides of Rainbow Dash. She is actually quite considerate under that tough exterior. And 16.0 wingpower is almost double that of the average pegasus.
    :omg:

    Sweet Celestia, what a sad episode. I latterly wanted to jump into the episode next to Fluttershy to comfort her when she was crying. I do love the moral of this episode. Best one in my opinion.

    FiM went in the gutter after Hearts and Hooves Day.

    But Dragon Quest was not so bad.

    I didn't like this one at all. Fluttershy is my favorite pony not only because she's so ridiculously shy, but also because she's surprisingly strong in the most unexpected circumstances. In this episode, she overcame her shyness for a measly five wingpower. Or maybe it was intended to be more, but it certainly wasn't obvious. It's a great lesson and all, but it doesn't fit with the rest of the series.

    Well, flying never was one of Fluttershy's strengths, that is more extreme willpower and abillity to dominate any beast. She is essentially the beastmaster of the group. Flying is more Rainbow's type of thing. I mean, Fluttershy wrestled a bear, but that did not involve flying, she is mostly a ground pegasus so it makes sense for her not to have honed her flying skills so well.

    I liked this episode, I give it a 4 out of 5.

    The large white pegasus had a dumbell as his cutie mark, but that wouldn't be a good name. I say we call him Brock, as in Brock Lesnar, since well they do have matching necks.

    It had to be more than 5, right? After all, she was flying faster than everyone else in the tornado, and even Rainbow Dash called her the number 1 flyer.

    Weeell it's possible. But they were at 795. Then after Fluttershy joined they were at 800. Then we don't get to see the dial again.

    The most confusing part of this episode was that they lost 200 wingpower from just missing 8 pegasi.

    200 divided by 8 equals an average wingpower of 25 for each of the ponies missing. Which is 9 higher than Dash. Something is odd here, assuming 7 of 8 ponies has a wingpower of 10, the last need to have a whooping 120.

    I don't think it was mentioned in the episode if every pegasus had successfully managed to get 10 wingpower, so whose to say that they would have even made it to 1000 to begin with?

    How many pegasi are you starting out with though? If 100 pegasi were initially listed and did succeed in 10 wingpower each (perfect 1000 wingpower as Rainbow wanted), if 92 were left, each pegasi would need to output about 8.7 wingpower each to get to 800, so it'd still be possible. I doubt there were exactly 100 pegasi there to begin with, it's just an assumption.

    I haven't felt this sad for a character since Twilight became "corrupted" in episode 2. When Rainbow Dash said "You aren't going to quit because of that are you?" Then Fluttershy paused, then turned around crying her eyes out. It caught me by surprise.:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:
