Remember that episode where Twilight, like, loses Spike in a bet with Trixie? And then she makes him be her "lovely assistant" and keeps putting him through all of those embarrassing magic tricks just to stick it to Twilight? And then at the end there's a friendship lesson about, like, gambling and slavery and how you should involve your friends in neither?
That's like my favorite episode!

Under-appreciated? I don't understand. I've watched this episode multiple times, and I have yet to find anything endearing about the episode. In fact, I just watched it again to write this response. The overall lack of depth that this episode provides is astounding, given the deep and interesting plots carried by the other episodes. While the subject matter addressed here is a more adult subject, which is by all means nice to see, I don't feel like they've handled it properly. Yes, the episode is 'enjoyable', and maybe even 'funny', but overall it was a disappointing venture into the usual antics of the intelligent and thoughtfully created ponies we've come to love. I can't help but feel that the entire episode was nothing but pandering to a niche subsection of the Brony fandom, and that on all-accounts is disappointing.
