MLP:FIM A Health of Information

This was the second episode written by the team of Sammie Crowley and Whitney Wetta (their first episode being A Flurry of Emotions). It was storyboarded by Thalia Tomlinson (who has been boarding since season 5) and Cory Toomey (who has been boarding for the show since season 2).


This is an excellent episode. What really makes it work is just how strong and likable of a character Fluttershy is. What is really interesting about Fluttershy in current episodes is she did actually learn how to assert herself much more. Despite this though she easily remains the same character, because her personality was much more defined than just this one character trait. Here her new assertiveness is used to its full advantage as it is used to help her friend. This is very touching and also something we hope is in each one of us. There is more to recommend about this episode though as it also has some good humor (the bake-off) and a simple but charming story. This is definitely a must watch for fans of the show.
