I had wanted to do a Pinkie Pie story that delved into her personality, her history, and her talents. I also wanted to open up some of the potential that her talents gave her and see her do more, but when I got to the point where she actually starts to go down that path, I ran into a brick wall. I couldn't figure out how to make the story do what I wanted it to. Then came "Filli Vanilli", which has become my favorite episode of all. In analyzing it, I came to an interesting point of view on what took place there that melded perfectly with the story I was trying to tell. So a little rewrite, and here you have Filli Vanilli - behind the scenes.
