This episode has a lot of potential honestly and based on the spoiler filled synopsis, it sounds like, if done right, it can be super exciting.  Reminds me of the Cold War spy tactics. :)  Consider myself actually really excited.

That does sound very exciting.  I hope they present it well and follow up with a strong story.  I am worried that these are new writers and they will screw things up, but it will be awesome to see a certain character return.  Hopefully they keep his image well and don't make him worthless.  I love spy thrillers.

I ain't losin' hope. The 2-3 previous episodes may have been a bit... dumb, but I ain't losin' hope. I'm sure this'll be a GOOD episode. ;) :D

I'm pretty optimistic too based on the synopsis. Sounds like a totally different type of story that has never been done in this series.

Just watched it. SO bribed me into it. Getting a body pillow, and now I will let the shame flow through me.

And it was alright. It had some issues, and it brought up some very interesting thinking points for me. I'll talk about them in a different post because I'm at a party right now.

8 out of 10 for now right off the bat. Also, lesson of this episode? You can make friends with Elijah Wood in any form. (I say that affectionately, not spitefully). Oh and the special snowflake part. I think I died XD

Also, I might write a fic for this.

It does have really really REALLY cliche changeling backstory, but Elijah Wood Thorax's voice is adorable. He sounds like Elijah Wood doing an imitation of Kermit. It's so un intimidating and dorky.

This is the episodes MLP should be doing. Expanding Lore and the world and the characters.

Kyle Rideout is the voice behind Torax.

I would have actually enjoyed this episode to be longer and pan out more in depth.  It was not what I was expecting again, and this series does a good job at that.  Two new writers did a fine job.  I would give this episode a 8.9 out of 10.  I wish it was longer as I said, but I truly enjoyed it.  I would have liked to have seen them not be so sure to accept him right away, because looking at everyone's expressions even up till they switched, non were too happy.  Even watching Twi stand up for this Thorax fellow, she cringed.

I wanted to learn more about the Changelings and their kingdom and way of life, but we got a snippet.  It is very interesting and could be dug into way deeper then this went.  Also, Spike did a good cheesy song that I love.  If the lyrics were actually legit, it could be a real good love song or something.
