This episode is different as I have seen it relatively recently compared to other episodes. Ahem:>>8771

So, different review format for today.

Favorite aspect of this episode: The sense of adventure. This is the kind of low stakes adventure I live for.

Least favorite thing:
Is there anything that is a least? I have no strong negative feelings. Diamond Dogs aren't my favorite villains but that doesn't mean I dislike them. Certain scenes maybe slow, but I like slowness.

Favorite scene: Depends on what you count as a scene. I liked Rarity messing with the Diamond Dogs probably the best, followed by the Mane 6's confrontation above ground.

Lore implications: Lots of questions mainly centered on the Diamond Dogs. Species name or just name of the gang? How freely do they roam on pony territory?

Other observations:
The background cave parts of this episode seemed a little thrown together compared to other episodes. What sticks out to me is that the red gradient for the light feels, well, like a red gradient being used for a light and not a like. We've seen this in the show before to some extent but for some reason this really sticks out. Now, I don't particularly hate it. Reminds me of the older flash style of early Bionicle (actually, I've seen comparisons to Bionicle's old style and FiM in the past, I think I've mentioned it before) though it certainly isn't as good! LOL.
