I went into this episode with trepidation. "Princess Spike" was a mess, and "Party Pooped" was only half of a good episode. I knew Larson was writing, but he's had his slip-ups before. I even joked to myself that it was "time to be disappointed."
I'm sorry now, because this episode was perfect.
The writing was excellent. The performances were spot-on. The pacing was strong. The moral was fabulous. Everything about it was on a level that, quite frankly, the show has never reached before. Any criticisms I have would just be nitpicks about the ending being a little rushed, or maybe Twilight being a little quick to jump on the apology wagon before she knew the full scope of things. Most of all, though, the episode hit me hard. I've felt emotional about moments in the show before, but this was the first one to grab me from the beginning, refuse to let go, and finally pound my face into the pavement with Moondancer's breakdown.
I really don't know what else to say. This episode was simply wonderful. Thank you, M. A. Larson. Thank you, DHX. And thank all of you for reading this, despite me being a terrible friend.

Also, the gift was FOR Moondancer. Our long national nightmare is over.

I'd say the opening was more slow than the ending was rushed, at least that's the impression I got. But yeah, totally a nitpick that doesn't really affect my overall appreciation of this excellent ep. :D
MoondancerxTwilight. Make it happen. NAO! Because it feels like Moondancer may have had a thing for Twilight, and the party was going to be her big reveal, however...she...was left heartbroken. THINK OF THAT!
Great episode, I agree. Best yet.
One of the best episodes of the series, not just the season. It's the kind of episode I point to and say "that's my My Little Pony is about. This is why Friendship is Magic."
I loved it, start to finish.
It's a Fourth of July miracle.
God bless
AmericaCanada.In Moondancer's restaurant scene, did you see another certain somepony?
3206238 I'd heard about that before actually viewing the episode, and I saw it's all too true.
Is that...? Could that be...?

At this point, yes, a lot of people have pointed it out. :B
I agree, this is among the better episodes that the show has produced. Still doesn't displace "Sleepless in Ponyville" for me personally, but it comes close.
Also, the sane amongst us always knew it was "for", since we could just turn on the subtitles and check...
