Yeah. I can see the negative reaction. Though the base concept wasn't bad the execution was awful. It shouldn't have been more subtle with a slow build up to a point where they done goofed. Rather then having it blow up in their faces completely three times and it being blatantly in front of the students from the start. Another thing that is of a slight concern is them never having time to flush out the student's much as we are going to have only one third of the season devoted to them as a group. They should have one episode per character at least, so this is one wasted. They only showed them as a group and RD and AJ had the POV for most of the episode. Also it having been going on for several months kind of making them having new experiences and being excited for things seem really weird. It would be kind of strange to have them in future episodes being shown new parts of ponyville and what not. Now I know the show doesn't always have a linear timeline (episodes set in fall then spring then winter then spring again), but with the recent exposition about the movie and them setting up with a theme this season it seemed like this season would be more so with a new transition feeling they'd be going for in the earlier episodes.

3.5/10 for me. Though I can't say it was the worst, I didn't really enjoy it much at all.
