First of all, I will not be watching the episode that was leaked earlier this week. I prefer to wait until the day it is meant to be made available. (I guess you could call it an influence from BZPower.com's no-leak policy.) Thank goodness we now use black text for spoilers, because that is one spoiler I do not want at this time.
Now that that's out of the way, on to today's new episode.
(spoilers)
This episode had quite an interesting message in that even the smallest of efforts can make a significant difference in a neighborhood. It was nice to see the return of one of the minor characters introduced in the previous season, Coco Pommel (though it seems her last name is pronounced differently than I had remembered). I'd like to point out that when Applejack accidentally damaged her hat, it actually stayed damaged for the rest of the episode, until Rarity was generous enough to purchase a replacement, so that's another cartoon cliche neatly avoided. Also, I found that Charlie Brown reference very amusing, not just Rarity saying "good grief," but also that pony walking by who wore a Charlie Brown shirt (albeit green instead of yellow).

Since my house doesn't get the channel it'll be on, I won't be able to watch Friendship Games tonight. In addition, I'd rather not take any chances with streams, and since it will likely take a few hours to be uploaded on YouTube or some other video site, I won't have a chance to watch it until tomorrow. I suppose I can accept that, considering that I didn't get a chance to watch the previous Equestria Girls movies until at least a few months after they first premiered in the movie theater.
