MLP:FIM Daring Done?

Today's episode is the third episode written by Gillian Berrow (following The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows and Fluttershy Leans In), and while this episode does have a few faults it is her best yet. This episode was boarded by Marta Demong and Desirae Salmark. This is both of their  second episode boarding for the show as they had both only previously worked on this season's Forever Filly.

This is an excellent episode. It has a good sense of humor throughout and I love how well Pinkie was written here. It also has a smart story. The idea of a superhero like character having to deal with the destruction she has caused. This is done with the upmost maturity and respect. This episode also adds great to the series' sense of world building. It adds a new environment as well as a bit of the world's history and both are very interesting and well thought it. If the episode has a problem it is simply that there is a twist which is all too predictable for anyone who has seen the two previous Daring Doo episodes. Luckily though it does not seem to drag out this revel like so many bad movies and TV shows would have done. Simply a great episode.
