On the new episode: Ehh, I really didn't care for this one. For me it was just way too predictable, without enough jokes or anything else to make up for it. I liked the final part with the actual race and the moral, and I loved Derpy's cameo in Rarity's flashback. But aside from those things I was just bored. Not quite a bad episode, but it is definitely my least favorite of the season so far.
