4. Alternatively, Spike was just embellishing the story with details that he didn’t actually know.

“Jesus like figure”? Not sure I agree. It’s not like she became some cosmic messiah or made a heroic sacrifice; all she can really take credit for is winning a race, in the process comically forgetting about the pony who she was supposedly racing for.
 
(Also, your comment is slightly ironic now that we’ve seen seasons 3 and 4.)

@Prof.NightJack @BrownieComicWriter  
I think we’re still not sure how Pinkie’s grandparents fit into her past. It could be that they’d died by that point and the family was in perpetual mourning.

@Technature  
I completly agree with you! Although this episode still feels a little ambiguous compared to other ones, that doesn’t matter too much.
 
If you let me add some ideas:
 
#3 There are many writers on this show. RD’s behaviour is someties up to interpretation and besides. This was a thought that expresses a hypothetical situation. Fluttershy and Scootaloo are not Rainbow Dash’s sisters. She treats them better because they’re not familiars. And anyways, it’s not like Faust meant she would be a devil. Rainbow Dash still does stuff like pranking or crushing into their friends’ houses.
 
#6 Also, this happened when they were little kids. That guy didn’t even had his cutie mark yet (ho, ho. I said that). It’s perfectly logical he doesn’t remember it and doesn’t want to. It would also make sense if he was just blatantly lying.

#1 was said in relation to the CMC. Says nothing about anypony in her class.
 
#2 may not be in her class.
 
#3. As much as I don’t like to admit it, I often treat my friend better than my brother. And since Fluttershy isn’t related to Dash…(also, context dictates she easily could of done worse with her actions later.)
 
#4. Do you remember what you looked like in the womb? No? Then shush.
 
#5 does not necessarily include Granny Pie (in fact, that looks more like her mother).
 
#6…uh…this is kinda debatable, though it could easily be dismissed as them being hit hard enough to not pay attention to what RD was doing. Judging by how they treat RD, it’s very likely that they didn’t believe anyone who DID see it and telling them that it was RD in that tale.
 
………okay, I’m done.

There are no inconsistencies in the MLP episodes, merely alternative pasts. ;)

Can’t you just enjoy the episode without picking at it? ffs.

This was one of my least favorite because it just bothered me so much… not only was everything wrong, but it contradicted everything else.

This is why I personally disliked this ep: too many continuity errors. Most are minor but still: errors are errors.
 
Also even though I love RD, I didn’t like how this ep sort of escalated her into a Jesus like figure because her sonic rainboom gave the rest of the mane six their cutie marks. That doesn’t really help considering she has a problem with arrogance.

You are about to be raped.  
And thats a lie.

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies!

@Itsthinking  
Completely agreed, except for the last line, this episode is more underrated than it seems.

@ze  
6. Or, you know, Dumb-Bell said the Rainboom was just a legend, which Dash proved wrong.

@Prof.NightJack  
Aaaaannnnnnddddd I was beaten to it.

@Takuto_Shindou  
It’s one of the richest, most character-building episodes in the series, if not the most.
 
I also was under the impression it was one of the most well-liked.

Possible solutions:  

@Itsthinking  
You think that too??  

You’re just mad that this is one of the best episodes in the series, OP.
 
@Prof.NightJack  
I agree with this. I just thought that the Rainboom was so rare ponies who could do it were part of an old mare’s tale, and Dash apparently was a one-in-a-million filly who had the ability to do one.

The Ponies are a lie.

@BP 2  
Rainbow Dash being the key of her Friendship was like the greatest thing in the episode.
 
@Applejack  
Yes i do :(

I know hoe the answer all of this.  
All of AJ’s class got their cutie marks at a really young age and she was in fact the last one.  
Dash was talking about her school not flight camp, that’s where the flashback took place.  
What DudeMan said, and Shy is also about the same age not younger.  
How would Spike be so sure what color the egg was, how could he remember it that well, most likely her was never sure as he was never told it had no green on it.  
Pinkie’s Granny Pie told her after she got her cutie mark for there was laughter and all that by then.  
Okay, you got me on the last one.

Gotta love Hoops.
