I wasn't sure I wanted to do an Odds and Ends but had enough side observations to go ahead.

Sonic Rainboom Continuity
This episode does seem to contradict with Sonic Rainboom. I think I can explain away no one knowing or making the connection of Rainbow Dash being the one to have done the sonic rainboom and ponies relative disbelief in it as it being taken as a freak accident or odd thing that happened. Not many believe Rainbow when she claims to have be at the center of that because she was just a filly and a braggart at that. The problem with this view is her bullies, who were present in both episodes. I guess I could say that if no one else believed it, why would they tell otherwise? If Rainbow Dash couldn't replicate it, they probably would go ahead and might even decide that themselves regardless of their own eyes.

<but what about Fluttershy?!
Surely Rainbow Dash would've bragged about it to her, why wouldn't she put two and two... er, nevermind.

Sonic Rainbooms as a weapon
Even if we take Equestria as a smaller land in this, being able to split rock from miles away ain't no small feat. My sometimes militaristic mind can't help but think in the ways that this could be weaponized. This Rainboom seems special though compared to most of the others I can recall in the series, I will note for now.

Latin Alphabet!!!
I don't think many remember this. I have seen some bring up the point that this and the poorly made welcome Princess Celest sign from Swarm of the Century. Wow:>>10841 can't believe I didn't note that in Odds and Ends there, so here it is here. I will be on the look out for more instances of the latin alphabet for sure though!

Pinkie Pie's family
Looks very Amish. Going from a strictly Season 1 perspective, I think it was mainly done to make them out to be serious and not ones to normally smile. I wonder how many other cultural inferences I can make with that though?
