I didn’t notice that; you are right.

@Alel  
I don’t think that’s Peewee looking at Spike there, he looks a bit angry so I think that’s Peewee’s father.

@Background Pony  
That… makes it worse…
 
 
But hey, all the writters write flawed episodes; fans should stop being so biased, trying to find culprits to point all the fingers and making assumptions and generalizations; the production of a single episode is far more complex than “the writter did it”.
 
Keep it constructive.

>endangering innocent animals without getting any retribution  
fluttershy seemed okay with it

Oh, and TMMDW has the others helping Rainbow Dash, with Rainbow Dash over-reacting. Fans are crazy for putting Rainbow Dash’s nonsensical ego over the lives of innocents (Including her own, remember the dam).
 
The other two Rainbow Dash episodes in the second season have her stealing in a hospital and endangering innocent animals without getting any retribution… and people are okay with that…

Someone should ask the writter if the last picture is meant to mean that Peewee returned with his parents… or if it is Peewee who became an adult and now has a wife and a son (After all, is the father the one looking at Spike)…

Nope.I still don’t like it.
 
The staff has no excuse for writing Peewee out.
 
Kidnapping? Are they serious? we are not talking about people here.This is not kidnapping,nor Animal/Human trafficking.The Egg was about to get smashed,Peewee parents were gone and Twilight had to teleport far away from the forest.
 
That Peewee hasn’t appeared in any other episodes? you can say the same with some of the other pets and even some minor characters (this was Cheerilee first appearance in this season and as a cameo,on top of that).
 
So no,they don’t have excuse…I guess the whole “I’m going to teach you how to be a pony never really happened”?
 
Damn,I miss the little guy already…Hopefully he appears in a future episode…hopefully…

it reads like a japanese manga

Holy shit guys Spike can go hang out with Peewee again when he gets older.
 
Also this episode was a pretty biting take on the evils of capitalism which is pretty much in line with the rest of the show’s themes and what I would expect from the Great Northern Pinko Empire.

Deleted beginning of this episode:
 
“C’mon Angel bunny, time to take you to Spike.”
 
(on Fluttershy’s wall: pictures of playing with Discord, laughing with Discord, the last one about leaving him with two other Draconequus)
 
And that is why Discord wasn’t seen in this episode.

I miss Peewee…. =’(

@Trickquestion  
He can still make a non-gem cake.

@EQUINE
 
It’s the principal of the matter.

@Trickquestion
 
It’s a fucking cake dude.

@Background Pony  
It is my headcanon until the derpsplosion that was originally meant to be a Derpy episode, and I’m sticking to it!

@TenaxViator
 
That is something I wholeheartedly agree with.

Bitch bitch bitch!
 
Whine whine whine!
 
Get on the Herpderp train for a stupid time!

@BP
 
He was punished for his greed and lazy behavior by all the crap the animals put him through. He was suffering for his negligence, but he learned his lesson and got the animals under control. Taking the cake away from him isn’t something that should happen on a show as optimistic as FiM.

@Amber  
Everyone has a right to give an opinion about the creator. The only critique she gets is about her artistic work on MLP and this is something they have to deal with.  
That’s our review. If we find something worthy a praise, we praise it but the worst think we could do is to sit quiet and pretend we like everything.
 
For example I don’t shy away from criticising Lucas’s later work on SW but it doesn’t mean I have something against him personally.

@Trickquestion  
It’s a cake. I think he will survive. Plus he never got any sort of comeuppance from the mane 6. It’s only fair.

@Serris
 
But only Spike gets shit on even after he learned his lesson. That’s the real problem with this episode.

I mean isn’t that the point? We love these characters because they aren’t perfect.  
Spike seems to get a lot of bad happenings, but even noble heroes get lazy from time to time. People take this really seriously I see…

Leave Merriwether alone!

@EvilTon  
I agree. Especially considering (exluding what anyone thinks about this episode) his previous and first episode was probably the best in the season.

@Trickquestion  
You’re forgetting the tidbits we learned about dragons from SomE. Zecora even reminds us about it in this episode. It’s perfectly IC for Spike considering he really wants those gems.
