This was the 6th episode written by Michael Vogal. He has become one of my favorite writers for this show. His previous episodes were A Hearth's Warming Tale, Spice Up Your Life, Stranger than Fan Fiction, and The Cart Before The Ponies. This episode is the last episode storyboarded by Sabrina Alberghetti, who has been storyboarding for the show since the first season. Also storyboarding for this episode was Dave Wiebe, who has been storyboarding for the show since the first episode.
This is an excellent episode. Starlight is becoming one of my favorite ponies. In many ways she makes me think of Twilight of season 1 and 2, but is still her own character. In fact the similarities between her and Twilight, really make me happy to see these two characters together. She is always likeable even when she does something immoral. Because she tries so hard to be good and impress Twilight. Plus Starlight's stresses are so similar to my own, that I especially relate to the character.
On top of Starlight this episode has a great story, is very funny and is very well animated. Pinkie and Applejack are also delights to watch in this episode as are all the ponies. Applejack's stories are hilarious. Pinkie towards the end is also very funny. In fact this whole episode is just excellent.
By the way remember kids don't use mind control on your friends.
