Just to be critical, the music and vocals don't sound nearly as good as BHG, the choice of pony is much better than BHG, but the lyrics seem crazy wrong, while BHG's lyrics are crazy awesome. And the lyrics don't really match the feel of the song.
Which isn't to say the song's bad, or that I could do any better. Just that everything feels like it's solidly behind Beyond Her Garden. Of course that might just be me.

How big did you need it? Since it's pixels, it resizes quite nicely.

I found it boring because it was played completely straight.
The hints were so obvious in both the previous episodes, I thought they would do something unexpected.

also I prefer Pinkie as the murderer of the series more than Fluttershy
Some amusing details, but still don't like these overall. Gilardi has done much funnier stuff in the past.
I prefer this to both:
Nightmare Night - [WoodenToaster + Mic The Microphone]

I love them all, well...#2 wasn't that great, but so far I'm enjoying the series. "Don't tease I'm shyyy!" Haww. They do a pretty good job of digging through the themes for parody.
I didn't get the flower cutie mark joke though.

Big Mac is known as "Big Brother"? Oh Japan I love you. :3
That was great. Youtube needs more Python/MLP crossovers.
Speaking of which, this deserves a lot more views than it has: Canterlot!

I laughed hard at 'welcome to ponyville,' the rest was kinda flat. Spike is pretty great though.

Why are people calling Big Mac as aniki? It's only reserved for thuggish/gangster-like talk!

Don't mess with Big Macintosh, man. He's got ties to the Yakuza. Didn't you notice the chip on his hoof?

Rarity as Varys is such a perfect fit.
I watched the whole thing, and the thing that disgusted me the most was that Rainbow Dash called Fluttershy a faggot.
I feel dirty now.

So I guess I'm going to have to admit defeat... (I'll warn you now, I'm about to rant about something completely meaningless, but regardless, I feel like I need to vent. You've had those moments, right?)
So, I'm sure you're aware of how episodes 11-13 have two different "correct" orderings - production ("Family Appreciation Day", "Baby Cakes" and "Hearth's Warming Eve") and airdate (the same, but "Hearth's Warming Eve" comes first). Working on the recaps on TVTropes a few months ago, I insisted we use the production order instead of the airdate order. Naturally, there were people who didn't agree with me, and it swapped to airdate for the longest time. I don't like getting into fights, so I waited for some more concrete proof that I was right. Frankly, the whole thing was rather aggravating, watching pretty much everyone go with airdate order, while there were small indications (such as image filenames, or the numbers of the episodes on the website for the one week they actually put them up) from The Hub or Hasbro that they'd go with production - but nothing concrete (I mean, they're skipping the holiday episodes in reruns, so I can't point to that; Shout won't do a box set, so I can't point to that; they don't have an ordered episode listing on The Hub's website, since episode uploads to the website are only up for a single week, so I can't realistically point to that...).
I was honestly hoping iTunes, the next best thing to a box set, was going to straighten things up. Initially, it did, when it uploaded "Hearth's Warming Eve" as episode 13 - but the next day, it changed it to 11, to my confusion. But it gets better - when "Family Appreciation Day" and "Baby Cakes" got uploaded, they were episode 11 and 12, respectively - so there were two episode 11s. This carried on through "The Last Roundup" and "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" (around when they took down "The Last Roundup", presumably over the Derpy hullabaloo). Sometime between last weekend and this, though, they finally fixed it... by going back to airdate order. ("Last Roundup"'s still missing, though, so they've still got some issues.)
So y'know what, I guess I'm wrong. It's really hard for me to admit this after holding out hope for so long that I might be right, even as the rest of the fanbase just rolled with airdate, but there it is. I guess the best thing to do is just admit it with some semblance of dignity, especially since the issue is by-and-large moot (I mean, really, there wasn't a reference in one of those episodes to another in the same subset - you could air them "Baby Cakes" -> "Hearth's Warming Eve" -> "Family Appreciation Day" and it'd still make perfect sense). Still, I can't help but feel like Rainbow Dash here... but if I obsess over this any more, I'm going to end up turning into Psycho Twilight or something.
Sorry, I've been trying my best not to even bring this up here - the few times I've tried venting to people, all I ever get are "get over it" and "who cares" (and understandably so), so I didn't really want to bother you all with it.
To atone for this wall of text, have some fanart from the latest episode. Impressive how fast this fandom works.

, for all the Reading Rainbow jokes we made, apparently Studio B were waaaaay ahead of us.
And thank goodness they didn't go with that second name for "Secret of My Excess". Ew.

That's funny. I was originally going to end my comment with "with a heart of gold" but decided against it because I didn't want to imply that it was mutually exclusive to just RD.
Seconded. Still, what is it with western animation studios and their fascination with parodying movie/tv/book titles when naming episodes? I see it all the time. I don't dislike it, but it feels... overdone. Almost like it's some unwritten tradition that they all feel obligated to continue.

Don't worry, according to the creator she just had a crazy weekend of studying. It was just a contrived way to get Dash to be reading to her. Besides, she doesn't look too concerned.
