Other then the fact that the episode was more or less filled with more holes then swiss cheese by having the continuity from past episodes all jumbled around, everything about it is basically a great middle finger to the original aspect of the series itself. Along with a bad OC pony (if you couldn't already tell) with another generic song and dance number put into it that clearly shows, for once, it doesn't work at all. But whatever lesson they were trying to learn is just so minuscule and the consequences are bizarrely over the top level, it makes me wonder; How did word spread fast enough for ponies from Vanhoover spent ALL their money to come to Ponyville, JUST to get an autograph from Twilight and never bother reading it again? That's the stereotype of a generic fanboy and/or ma'am as well as how it promotes ripping pages out of important lessons just to read what Dash does and practically harass her while disregarding the danger of her job she's trying to do, canceling orders because apparently "no pony at all" believed Rarity has changed despite some of them actually witnessed that sort of deal from past episodes, AJ could've told the people "Only Cutie Marks with apples on their flanks and not paper and tape ones ARE Apple Family" so she can kick them out, but it seems her Honesty doesn't work here so she caved into their demands.



And also, where the hell was Celestia and Luna in all this if word spread THAT fast and that far, yet they never heard of this nor even got a notice about Twilight publishing and selling their friendship lessons or the consequences of a riot breaking out in front of Twilight's castle? Like i said; there's too many holes here that it's probably become the worst episode of Season 7 so far
