After three episodes of mane cast relationship building, Friendship is Magic moved into the single target pony world. This was around the time I was officially hooked, sitting around each week watching the clock and waiting for more pony to fill the addiction with.
Applebuck Season was a good example of what future slapstick humor style episodes would be composed of, thanks to some good old fashioned faceflop. A lot of people in the early fandom were watchers of stuff like Looney Tunes and Animaniacs, and seeing that return, albeit briefly, was a nostalgia bomb.
We also learned how ridiculously overpowered Twilight Sparkle is.
