In order (Too lazy to quote and break up your post):
Nice. I'm glad you're watching more episodes.

Fluttershy fluctuates from 4th to 6th for personal favorite mane 6, but I still love her. Feel free to defend her because I take shots at her sometimes.

Considering how often Rarity toys with Spike, I'm pretty sure the physical abuse is nothing (Some writers write it so Rarity reciprocates the feelings, others write it so she really feels nothing towards him. Leads to a very confused baby dragon and an even more confused audience).

Pinkie lives in a bakery. That's not caffeine, that's sugar.

Yeah, it's unfortunate that Nightmare isn't reoccurring, but you'll find out that, aside from the rare action/adventure episodes, the series is mostly slice of life, so a villain like Nightmare doesn't really fit (But she is followed up on in the excellent comic series by IDW*)

You haven't even seen what Angel can do.

And...Yeah. You're probably right on that one

*Shameless plug because I f*cking love those comics.
