This episode was written by the writing team of Joanna Lewis and Kristine Songco. They started writing for the show last season. This is the fourth episode of the show these two have written (the other three being
Castle Sweet Castle,
Rarity Investigates, and
The Hooffeilds and McColts). Both have worked together on every episode they have written. They have already proven themselves quite good writers for the show, especially with this episode and
Rarity Investigates. They had already proven that they are very good at writing for Twilight and Rarity, not only do they still show that talent very well here, but they also show they are just as good at writing for Spike, in fact this might be my favorite Spike episode. This episode was storyboarded by Michelle Ku and Tim Maltby.
Also of very important to the success of this episode is the fantastic background work. Having an episode take place in the dragon world allows for some fantastic artwork that you could not see in every episode. This is heavily due to the layout and background artists, who are two many to list here, but all did an amazing job. This is probably one of the best visually looking episodes of the show.
Also in this episode we get quite a good new character Ember. She is very likable and personally I want to see her again. She is also very well voiced by Ali Milner.
