Alright well, my thoughts on the best gif ever are broadly positive. It was nice, cute, and self contained.
I'd have to say despite having seen this twice, I still can't decide what my favorite subplot is. I'd like to lean to Pinkie Pie, or Twilight's, but Rarity's little moment was sweet too. Fluttershy's was perhaps too manipulatable by the Flim Flam brothers, but I mean, little inconsistencies like that don't bug me too much when it isn't that certain to the story and only minor gang use. Rainbow Dash maybe my least favorite do to it being more of gangs but that is still far from disliking it. (and depending on how you look at it AJ either shared Fluttershy's or was a background horse again).
All and all pretty solid.
Now for some very minor nitpicks:
AJ said her pa gave her hat but hasn't there been a couple of times were fans were the origin of her hat was in contest to that popular head canon. Like that one time when she had a full closet of them?
Quick travel to the max with this episode. Though I have my problems with it it certainly didn't bug me here.
