buuuuuut.... K, never thought of it like that,....





In defense of the show's writers, though, there really wasn't that much to tell with Sandbar's lesson in comparison to the others, so having it be mostly an awful lot of running made for quick and easy filler. Overlooking that fillerish aspect of it, though, Sandbar's lesson is sound. From his introduction, he had this awe and respect for the Mane 6 and all they had done, and was always quicker to defend them than criticize them. He needed the lesson that he can't always count on them, especially if it meant it got in the way of his own friendships. Plus, it further emphasized just what that friendship meant to him, and that he would sometimes have to stand up and actively defend it.
