Re: Introductory Pony Episodes:

I really don't think Lesson Zero is all that representative of the series at it's best, or even representative of the series. It's About Time would be better for that, IMO. I think most people can appreciate a well-executed time travel plot and Twilight's breakdown is much more entertaining than Lesson Zero's decidely creepy take. Someone suggested Fall Weather Friends earlier. I definitely second that. A Canterlot Wedding to cover the adventure-y stuff and awesome songwriting is definitely a sound plan.
