Couple things in relation to Sweet and Smoky, which just aired:
1) Biggest question: how do dragon families work? Smolder established that they tend to live in family units back in The Moltdown, talking about her parents and how they kicked out her brother when he started molting, so it's not communal where they are all raised together. In this, we see that all of the eggs are laid together in one area, and many in a close group. So, how do the dragons find their specific child? Is there some bond they share we don't see that makes their specific child easily recognizable from all the others? Do they even look for their child? Do they simply pick one that looks most like them?
Whatever the answer, I see a lot of possible story fuel.
2) Smaller question: how did Garble react when he learned that Smolder was going to the friendship school? Between how much he spoke out against the ponies and their stuff, and the fact that Smolder was his little sister and one of the few dragons who could show a softer side to, he must not have been happy about it. So how much did it bother him that she was leaving to go to a school run by ponies that was meant to teach their ways?
Not as much story fuel, but it could create a good short for anyone who wanted to.
3) I guess we now know why Garble knew what a hug was, but Ember didn't.
4) Someone should keep an eye on Fluttershy and make sure she doesn't "adopt" a baby dragon... or two... dozen...
Fluttershy, Mother of Dragons. (Meanwhile, in the human world, the shelter receives a massive shipment of puppies.)
