This episode felt like an expanded version of the Season 1 Sleepover episode (whose name eludes me atm), contrasting Rarity and Applejack again. I do wish they would have made more of a point of the parallel between Rarity's infatuation with Trenderhoof and Spike's infatuation with her. Spike was aware of it, but the plot could have been richer for it.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
