Just premise of this episode gives me no excitement.  I don't usually care for Pinkie Pie as a character because too many writers just make her annoying and screaming.  Rainbow Dash can be hit or miss on writers too.  I guess we will see if this is any good.

So another episode is in the books.  I didn't think I was going to like this episode much.... but I was wrong.  It was kinda predictable but it was still done in a very entertaining and fun way.  I actually laughed because there were funny moments.  Also Rainbow Dash is sorta a liar, okay, i can see that.  That ending was great too with how Pinkie responded.  The writer had a good time with this episode you can tell, using these characters in a fun way.  It reminded me more of a season 1 episode and used the characters nicely without forcing them into the plot.  We also got a sneezing fit from Pinkie Pie.  Pollen makes her sneeze!  I'm going to give this a solid 8/10.

That really wasn't a bad episode.  It turned out really good.  I wasn't sure at the beginning if it was going to be something I'd like, but it transformed very quickly into an entertaining episode that I would definitely watch again.  It was funny how Rainbow Dash was able to rid herself of this pie problem.  Sometimes at the expense of others, and sometimes to their enjoyment.  The Pinkie Pie sneezes were good, and I think that moves her up to the number one sneezes in the show, in terms of most sneezes.  We can also cement she is allergic to pollen, so that's cool!

Overall this was a really good episode!  A nice surprise and a strong showing.  We had a feel heavy episode last week with a fun, cartoony one this week.  The antics reminded me a bit of the old Bugs Bunny type cartoon antics.

8/10.

Worth noting, the latest IDW comic (issue 59) acts as a sequel to this episode. Pinkie tries to figure why Dash doesn’t like pies, making her feed Dash a lot of pies, to the latter’s obvious dismay.

Also worth noting, the comic was released before the episode (officially) aired, making readers feel like they missed something everytime the episode’s events are referred to. DX

^^ I thought they said originally the comic and the episodes wouldn't be related?  So confusing. ;D  Why would they release that first and how can they really make a sequel to something that got resolved?  I wonder what they did?

This was a good episode.  I found myself smiling and even laughing a bit.  I liked the classic cartoon humor here and it was a nice change of pace.  A strong 8 out of 10.

You may not know, but lately, a lot of the latest MLP comics tie in with season 7 episodes. I don’t know why they’re doing this. ???

Why would they release that first and how can they really make a sequel to something that got resolved?
I dunno, it was stupid. And it was resolved, yes, but Pinkie didn’t seem to think so. ::)

I wonder what they did?
Something. :P

She should have just shared that first pie with Soarin. I’m sure he’d love it.

As for the episode, I thought it was alright.  It was fun, but to me seemed too predictable. 7/10.

I really liked the sneezing and that pause from her first sneeze, to when it changed scenes, then just to come back to her sneezing made me know she was still sneezing during that time... ALL OVER DASH'S pillows!  HA!  Gross.

Heck, I found this to be a very hectic episode, but I liked it way too much.  I have no idea why I liked it so much.  The sneezes were excellent too! 

9/10!

This sums up this episode to me.

8/10

Sneezes were an added bonus.  I wasn't expecting anymore sneezes for season seven.

We've been rewarded!  Season seven will go down as the sneeziest season of MLP to date. :D Thank you DHX!

I was surprised at the enjoyment level I had with this episode.  I thought it was just going to be another Pinkie going insane episode, and it was... but it was done right.  RIGHT ENOUGH to be one of my fav episodes this season.  The sneezing was also really nice. 9.

This was a funny episode that made me laugh a lot out loud. :D  Not only that, they wrote Pinkie good!  She was actually funny in trying to solve this silly case.  This is an example of an overused story idea, but done better then most!  9/10.
