It was overall a good episode.  Nothing ground breaking, and I feel Dash was somewhat out of character or insecure.  She just tried to be accepted and cool so much, she got desperate.

This was a hard episode to go at.

Who was this episode aiming at. I don't think the majority of bronies or the traditional younger audience really understand the unique bonds one can make in a sports team or the military, which the Wonderbolts are kinda replicating. Heck, to some, the episode probably triggered some real life bullying flashbacks.

Though what this episode was aiming at to some degree was that making fun of each other is a sign of respect. I can tell you that at my work, my team tend to knock each other around verbally, but I can say 100% that if I didn't like you, I wouldn't be ribbing you. I would just avoid talking to you.

I know that isn't the full morale or point of the episode, but it is there, and I discussed it. 

Enjoy this screen cap.

I think that's the problem. Most bronies wouldn't know the unique bonds sports teams have. And thus, are tearing this episode apart, out for the Wonderbolts blood. Because apparently it's okay for Rainbow to call Twilight an Egghead, but it's beyond monstrous for the Wonderbolts to tease Rainbow. Give me a break.

But that screen cap. What the hell Rainbow XD

Dashie' impersonations were kind of cringey and out of left field.  Overall I liked it though.  Bluefast's relation to the Wonderbolts has been kind of left hanging, so it was good to finally tie up that loose end and establish that she's definitely part of them now.  Kinda nice that it doesn't mean she's leaving the mane6 or Ponyville, though that would've been a nice send-off for her storyline at the end of the series.

I also thought the lesson worked well outside of team-oriented things though--I know when I was pretty young I had a hard time for a while getting the difference between ribbing and outright taunting, so I could see it being useful even for those not on sports teams or whatever.

And I "hnnng"ed at RD doing her impression of Fluttershy.
I laughed when Rainbow Dash imitated Applejack... mostly because Ashleigh Ball had to work a bit to convincingly parody herself.

Spitfire's nickname is so embarrassing she can't even say it out loud.  You kind of have to wonder what she did to deserve it....

Spit Roast :P

But I found it so amusing when Rainbow suddenly grew buck teeth. That was just great. Randomly growing hick teeth haha.
