Derpy: trollface hehe  
RD: FUUUUU!!!

The whole episode I was pretty much focused on RD due to the simple fact that THIS is how loyalty acts…
 
Almost every time she did something I said “Loyalty!” in a sarcastic tone…
 
Then Derpy broke the trance and all the cuteness opened my eyes and noticed the whole Bulk/Flutters thing going on…I liked that.
 
This whole situation is actually quite funny, and this comic encapsulates this perfectly. Made me remember that episode and made me think “Is Derpy the only thing I really remember out of this episode?”, the answer was yes…all of it was sadly very forgettable, outside of Derpy. Still enjoyable, but nothing special.
 
Though now I think that was the point of this episode, grab your attention to RD with the whole “loyalty” thing. Kinda weak, IMO.

I’m afraid just about everyone stole the show in this episode. Which really wasn’t a bad thing; it means the writers are willing to write for an ensemble cast rather than just focusing on a single character. It’s one of the show’s strengths that the cast is so varied that everyone gets a chance at the spotlight.

Eh, Rainbow Dash was exactly…the most interesting character in this episode. {She wasn’t bad, but she didn’t have any real scenes for me. It was Wonderbolt’s Academy kind of good.}
 
I was more focused on Fluttershy/Bulk Biceps. Now they stole the show. {It was also nice to see more of Soarin.}

Seems to be a trend with Ashleigh Ball characters.

“Your spotlight will be stolen by retards, deal with it”

@RIG  
Yes really. I know what the guy went through. I felt sorry for him.
 
Bulk Biceps was funny yes. I don’t think he stole the show though.

@Background Pony #01D4  
saying Bulk Bicepts stole the spothline would have made sense but Soarin’? really?

I didn’t really care about Derpy. I thought Soarin’ stole the show.
 
If anybody who got overshadowed it’d be Fleetfoot. No one gave a damn what she said.

Considering there’s been tons of rainbow dash in recent episodes? Especially an episode where she fucking fangirls for 22 minutes?  
ANYONE would have overshadowed her in this one. SOARIN would have.

*implying an ugly background pony like hers deserves any attention at all

Rarity said the same thing, but neither pony paid attention to her.

Oh nice, I was waiting for something like this.

Don’t feel that bad. Fluttershy and Bulk Biceps would have done that anyway.

To be fair, I for me Snowflake ans Fluttershy overshadowed Dash anyway.
