Mlp:FIM 28 Pranks Later

This episode marked the first written by F.M. DeMarco. DeMarco wrote the episode based off a story idea of one of the shows earliest writers Megan McCarthy(whose first episode was the 7th episode of the show).  It was storyboarded by Cory Toomey (who has been storyboarded since season 2) and Dave Wiebe.

This episode was maybe a bit too predictable, and not the most original of the show, but it still manages to be quite good. I can't wait to see DeMarco write a Pinkie Pie episode, because Pinkie Pie steals the episode. She is funny, relatable, and just very fun to watch. This is everything Pinkie should be. It is obvious that this new writer gets Pinkie's character very well. Also while Rainbow is supposed to be obnoxious in this episode, she never gets on the audiences nerves, or becomes too unlikable. Besides Pinkie what really works about this episode is the climax. This climax has a great atmosphere and even a little scary. The lighting in this scene is especially great. This scene works quite good even if it is very predictable. Overall this is a predictable and unoriginal episode but is still pulled off quite well despite this and is fun to watch.
