This episode was custom built to please me. I really like Pinkie, and I absolutely love humor based around duplicates of people. (There's a fantastic episode of Harvey Birdman that meets this criteria as well)
I was really impressed with how gradually the story ramped up. It takes a little while for the first duplicate be created. Then it takes a bit longer for the additional copies to show up. Then the episode is thrown into chaos for awhile.
The difference between the original Pinkie and the duplicates is interesting. The copies seem to have all of her normal enthusiasm and personality, but they don't seem to have her knowledge. They all have a focus on having fun.
The ending is a tiny bit dark - the copies are returned to "where they came from" as they slip up on a test to find which is the original. Something seems a little violent about this.
The pacing on the episode is really wild, and Pinkie has tons of stuff going on. I have a hard time believing that a kid would be able to appreciate this in anything near the same way.
It was also fantastic to see Pinkie change her face into an earlier generation pony. Kind of creepy.
