Drum snare? That's entirely accurate. They rewrote the episode because they felt that it was out of character and Rarity felt too mean and rude.

I still like Spike at Your Service, though. It has major flaws, but it's a fun little episode and seeing AJ kick ass is always great.

Loved the episode! Now all my thoughts are in Rarity's voice. It was just so nice seeing Rarity generous again.

Suri was really mean, that girl. Shame on her.

I've never wanted to choke a cartoon pony before more than I do now to Suri.

I normally absolutely adore/tolerate the villains/antagonists (Nightmare, Chrysalis, Blueblood, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Mane-iac, Jet Set, Upper Crust, etc), but fucking Suri...Oh god, I'd love to have a nice little fight to the death with her.

Really? I felt that Rarity's freaking out and guilt tripping was out of character, I don't remember her ever guilt tripping her friends before (though, I could be biased, as I hate guilt tripping.). I loved the song, but I feel that having two was kind of a waste of time.

I hated her too. I think my main problem with this episode was how predictable Dave Polsky made that plot point (The whole "Borrow my thing" "HA! I'm going to steal it!") I also thought when she said it was one of a kind. I know she's the Element of Generosity, but if it's one of a kind, you don't just hand that sort of thing out. I liked her apology as well. I liked the end when Suri's assistant saw the error of her ways, and how rarity let her have the job, it was really sweet. Typically the more I watch an episode the more I like it, so I'll probably enjoy it more upon second viewing.

The guilt tripping was actually perfect.

For Rarity, she was used to having people come in and admire her dresses on the spot. Now she's in a situation where she has to compete directly against others. I felt the guilt tripping was her trying to get into the "It doesn't matter how you win, as long as you win" mindset many have when in the competitive field. She learned it wasn't for her and apologized before she even knew she won, which is what made it all the better.

Rarity is not incapable of guilt tripping, but I can see how it is out of character. Which is precisely the point. It shows how much competitiveness and Manehattan has changed her into a manipulative person.

How would the one ring work for a non-Unicorn, anyway?

If Discord can take horns away, I'm sure he can add them.
