I'm happy for the CMC, but I've got a question.

Why the buck was it such a musical heavy episode? Barely two minutes after one song ended before another started up. I'm not complaining, the songs were good and well structured. I just can't help but feel like the episode could have done better on it's own, and just focus on the characters more than good singing. Does anyone else feel like this as well?

Moving past the songs, I'm happy to see Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo get their cutie marks. Looks like the mischievous days of searching for them are over. Now we all get to look forward to the mischievous days of how they'll help other ponies. Calmer and tamer, or wilder and more adventurous, things are certainly looking up for the dynamic trio!
