MLP:FIM Triple Threat

This marks the second episode written by Josh Hamilton (the first one being Parental Glidance). The story board artists are Nicole Wang (who has been boarding for the show since season 1) and Dave Wiebe (who has been boarding for the show since the first episode).

This episode while not on par with Josh Hamilton's first episode is still quite entertaining. The story is very predictable and it is never hard to see how it is going to end. Despite this though there is enough fun here to make up for this. While some jokes fall flat here, the ones that work are quite funny. It is delightful to see Spike doing a Twilight like freak-out (and have Twilight try to calm him down), Ember not be able to tell the difference between Twilight and Starlight, and especially Ember eating Twilight's house (and of course the somewhat reprise of this joke with Derpy later on). The animation retains the high quality set by this series. Most importantly though the characters are always very likable and relatable throughout this episode.

Not one of the show's best episodes, but entertaining all the same.
