This episode was awesome, and Antoine is adorable, but I just want to put it out there that it is extremely dangerous to put a carnivorous pet on a vegan diet.
It seems like this should be obvious, but people have actually their killed pets by trying to do this, so I felt it needed to be said.

Well, My Little Pony has gone and done the impossible: they reformed Angel. (Believably!)
True, he's hardly a villain, but for 9 years, he has still been a complete and total jerk - borderline abusive! And now, after all this time, he doesn't have to be that way anymore. It's the redemption story we didn't know we needed.
Yesterday, I posted an essay about Summer Sun Setback, the princesses, and the fact that the end of the show is neigh. There are, however, a few more thoughts on the episode that I wanted to share that don't quite fit into that box.
The theme of Summer Sun Setback was growth - moving on, and the story reinforces that theme in a lot of little ways in 22 minutes.
I still remember how the pilot to My Little Pony forced me to re-evaluate my relationship with the Sun and the Moon. It was a wake up call - an invitation to see them, not as GIANT BALLS OF SCIENCE AND STUFF (as had previously been believed), but as the magical horse princesses that they are!
My series, "Fallout: Equestria - The Hooves of Fate" has hit two milestones at once: 40 chapters; 300,000 words.
Woohoo!
The formula for every TwiPie episode is as follows:
-Twilight Sparkle is wrong.
-Pinkie Pie is right.

Reminder. Sphynxeseseseses exist in the MLP universe.
There are so many races species, cultures, and locations that only show up in singular episodes, that it's easy to forget how totally massive this universe has become when you put it all together.
I have much to write about Rainbow Roadtrip, but before I tackle its themes, message, or emotional content, I want to take a moment to draw attention to some subtle characterization that was, in and of itself, profound.
