My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - 2x24 - MMMystery on the Friendship Express

    I could write a whole lot more on my feelings about Friendship is Magic.  It's just so f**king good.
    This episode was a lot of fun.  Pinkie Pie is charged by her employers/landlords to transport a huge, fancy cake to a dessert competition.  Moving the cake safely is a difficult task, so all of the other core characters help out.  Twilight uses a forcefield bubble, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy hold ropes in the air from the sides to prevent it from tipping, and Applejack and Rarity bring up the rear with a net to catch it if it falls.
    Most of the episode is on a train.  While the train is mostly empty, it does carry a few other competitors for the dessert competition.  After some bites are taken from the cake in the middle of the night, Pinkie starts an investigation.

    This is a Pinkie Pie heavy episode, and it's a fun one.  It's a great pairing of Pinkie's nonsense contrasted with Twilight's focus on a normal investigation.
    The ending is cute, and everyone was handled well, so I didn't feel like anything was out of place.
