Yeah, I mean, this episode felt perfect to me. This is what I love about MLP, is episodes like this! It just had the perfect feeling to it. I enjoyed it wholeheartedly.
And I was able to give my thoughts without giving away any spoilers, so that's a plus too.
I tought the newest episode was just ok, not really amazing. I think @Twilight_Crow is right, to love this episode, you need to be a big Weird Al fan...
One thing I like about this series is that when it has celebrity guests it doesn't allow them to overwhelm the show. Even with Weird Al on full display here, this is still very much a Pinkie Pie episode. And boy, does Amy Keating Rogers 'get' Pinkie. This was pure joy from start to finish.

I feel like it should be pointed out, but the items, themselves aren't keys. They may be necessary to find the keys, or they may become the keys, but for the sake of precise wording, the keys, themselves, have not been found, yet.

You might be on to something here, i doubt a rubber chicken would fit in the keyhole, perhaps the box just turns them into keys...? The rainbowy things were earned by them doing their element thing.
I do wonder if they are gonna return to the Pony Of Shadows, Fluttershy's vampire tooth (i don't think this is Fluttershy's key honestly, i think the breezies will give her hers) and the comic book dissapearing.

Obviously, the items themselves are not keys, but they will obviously be important later for that story.
"Keys of harmony" is just a name I made up, no need to think too much about it.
Another great episode this season. Great because it was enjoyable. It was more of a fun episode than anything else. It's interesting because with all the songs in it, it made the episode feel short in actual content. How many songs were in it? 5? Not saying it's a bad thing because the songs were quite telling (I hate to see Pinkie sad, though). I was sure that Weird Al helped with the music/lyrics, but reading the credits, it seems he wasn't. This confused me because I could hear so many references, both in lyrics and musical arrangements. I do think that Weird had a lot of fun participating in this episode. Makes one wonder if he'll pop in at a brony convention one day, kinda like John de Lancie (though he has a lot more involvement with MLP). Now, this may be me thinking too deep about the episode, but with the Goof Off song, I felt it was genius to include the Pinata song. This lyrics in Spanish are ..... ¡Dale, dale, dale, No pierdas el tino, Porque si lo pierdes, Pierdes el camino! ..... The English translation (from what I understand) is ......Hit it, hit it, hit it, Don't miss your aim, Because if you lose it, You lose the way! ..... My thoughts on this is that after the pinata fell on Rainbow Dash, Pinkie realized she lost her way, because her focus/aim was more on beating Cheese Sandwich than where it should be. So, another great episode.
Actually "Tino" refers more to being able to hit it [the piñata] with pure luck more than traditional "aim" (you're supposed to be blindfolded and dizzy, after all).
But that's actually a great interpretation in this context, it's pretty clever if that's what they were going for.
Back! Been a little while. I'm behind in sharing my opinion on 2 episodes though. How did that happen? Anyways, I'll get to that, but first...
@AlbertoC Welcome back friend! It's nice to see you post once again here. No worries on content though. Things have slowed down anyways these days, but glad enthusiasm remains for new episodes. And nice pic.
@Discostew very interesting analysis there. I would have never have guessed, since I don't speak spanish.
@Gioku It could be just you. I felt this was very different as far as overall tone, and such, but that could be just me. I can tell you right now, one of my favorite episodes right here though.
@Aqueous I'm interested to hear your opinion on what exactly is going down when you feel comfortable and confident in what it is anyways.
@Twilight_Crow A fitting end to the month of Trixie. Those socks though... But interesting stories, and I'll be sure to give some a look. Same with the charity.
Alright, time for some analysis. I'll keep it short though since there are 2, as not to take up to much of the page.
I thoroughly enjoyed both Pinkie Pride, and Three's a Crowd episodes greatly, though Pinkie Pride gets the the small edge from me as far as overall enjoyment. I do love me some musical numbers, and both episodes delivered on that front. Discords was all around... well, chaotic, as is expected from his character, and Weird Al's and Pinkie's songs were rather excellent. Though with Pinkie Pie's opening song as she trots into Ponyville over the bridge, I can't help but be reminded of this song... [youtube:Mx1MmY1Bb50] I know, I know, the song and setting is vastly different, but my Disney side from seeing these movies when I was 8 years old just can't help but make the comparison when I saw it. Anyways, Discord was fun to watch, but there were a couple of things they could have done to make the episode better, such as speeding up the process to get to bothering Cadence and Twilight, and getting to the meat of what the story was going to be focused on. And with Pinkie Pride... I really can't find anything I would have changed really. This is one of those episodes I think they nailed perfectly, and while there may have been need for a small touch up here or there, I really couldn't notice it... Besides one seen in which Derpy runs up with the crowd to Cheese Sandwhich, and she was now an Earth pony. Or Rarity when she was on stage... How can you mistakenly make Rarity an Alicorn?... Anyways, both great episodes, with Pinkie Pride being my favorite episode this season behind Pinkie Apple Pie.
And now, since I know some people must read the comics here, some short opinions on issues #15-16 of the mane series, and the first issue of the side series Friends Forever...
This Bookworm Arc was going to be something special I could tell, and it did not disappoint. Though the reason they got inside the stories made little sense, but that's beside the point. This small arc was all about having a fun and crazy adventure, and these 2 issues didn't disappoint. Lot's of references to all sorts of pop culture such as Robin Hood, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, a Noir sort of setting, and Lord of the Rings were all present and accounted for. The more interesting bits of the comic are in the second issue I think, but a nice read through and through. The art was also top notch, and I congratulate Amy Mebberson on her work here.
The first issue of Friends Forever was a good read, but there were a couple of things that let it down in my eyes. First is the art. While I do think it looks alright, Carla Speed McNeil is a little below standard to me as far as drawing capabilities go. Not to say her art is terrible, but she's not my favorite. Another thing was again related to the art, and that was in backgrounds. Some scenes seemed a little floaty, and there was no real sense of where things actually where in relation to one another, and I miss that when Andy Price, or Amy Memberson do full on backgrounds to almost every panel. Not a deal breaker for me, but most of my complaints with this issue just stem from the artist I guess. Otherwise, it was a good plot, with some funny lines, especially the Pinkie and the Brain callback. Well worth a read.
And thus ends my views. A new episode will be upon us tomorrow, and thankfully I have been able to avoid the spoilers, so this will be a complete surprise as to what it entails. I look forward to seeing what everyone thinks of it.
And just something I found that I thought was interesting enough...
