This next scene is very important for Pinkie Pie's character.At least in the sense of illustrating something that is lost on many (including the show latter on to some extent).

I couldn’t help but notice in Pinkie Pie’s interrogation with Spike, while Pinkie Pie is acting with a relative impulsive manner, she isn’t outright stupid. Spike is, understandably clueless, and confesses to his various “sins”, Pinkie Pie gets more frustrated. While Pinkie Pie is a naive and carefree, she isn’t stupid and random. This is one of the things that does set the show apart from others at the time, and even now, Pinkie Pie was a certain archetype but not the stereotype that the silly carefree happy character had turned into even at that time: stupid for stupid’s sake. She isn’t even the most naive one here. Spike doesn’t fully understand that conversation and him taking “taking about his friends” literally is something that would be associated more with Pinkie Pie (even in this season perhaps!). 

The short of everything I just said is, I think Pinkie Pie is a real rounded character here and this is her at her best in this episode, even with her freakout. This is also why I liked the detail of her getting tired with her singing invitations. She is silly, carefree and a little weird but not just stupid and random. 

Speaking of her freakout I do enjoy this scene still, the most famous moment from this episode. Pinkie Pie is in her own imaginary world acting out things. I associate this with more of a soft mental break from betrayal and just a more extreme version of the sort of fantasy a lot of people have after being bullied or hurt, over implying any in universe lee creepy pasta mental illness. Albeit, the theory of when a pony cannot fulfill their cutie mark causing severe mental distress is still one that has appeal to me.  


This episode’s enjoyment level for me was a 7.5/10. This is one that could rise through the ranks on rewatch I feel like. I can’t complain in the slightest!
