* While most likely introduced to play with the show's usual format, having others besides Twilight Sparkle write Friendship Reports is a very significant moment in-universe. She was so busy freaking out about missing her report that the once socially awkward Twilight failed to realize that the reason she hadn't learning something new about Friendship that week was simply because she'd learned so much in her time in Ponyville that she didn't have as much ''to'' learn as she did at the start. Now that others are involved in the Friendship Reports, though, lessons that Twilight herself might not have encountered for some time, if at all, are now also brought to the forefront.
* There's been some conflicted feelings in the fanbase lately, mostly because in the second half of season two [[The One Guy|Spike]] has gotten less screen time. The one upside is that fan-favorite Big Macintosh has been [[Ascended Extra|promoted to a larger role]]. Then it hit me, ''usually'' (but not always) Big Mac has a bigger part in episodes where Spike is missing or has diminished screen time (like in "The Sisterhooves Social" "Family Appreciation Day" "The Last Roundup" "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" and "Hearts and Hooves Day"), they're making [[The One Guy]] a rotating position. Right now it switches between the two of them but as time goes the possibility of other male characters (like Caramel, Blues, Bluegrass or Doctor Whooves) opens up. This allows them to use more of the male characters without having to take away from the Mane Six.
* In the concept artOriginally, Pinkie Pie was intended to be a pegasus and Fluttershy was an earth pony. Though Fluttershy does fly, she tends to run and jump like her earthbound friends. Also, in Winter Wrap Up, Fluttershy is on the Animal team when many of the pegasi are on the Weather team. The reason they were swapped around is because the animators realized that Pegasus!Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash had almost identical flying styles (they were zooming around everywhere), and they wanted more visual contrast. So Fluttershy becomes a Pegasus who is a very slow, careful flyer, and as a bonus Pinkie Pie becomes a hyperactive earth pony to contrast against the slow and steady Applejack.
** Conversely,Roots of this still persist -- Pinkie Pie takes to the skies at any opportunity. She skips and jumps constantly, she owns a flying contraption (Griffon The Brush-Off), she uses the balloon to observe the race (Fall-Weather friends) and she's the first to field-test the cloudwalking spell (Sonic Rainboom). One fancomic suggests that she has pegasus heritage. (Many fans also suspect Fluttershy of having an earth pony in her family tree, which would explain her bad flying and amazing animal rapport.)

* Why does everyone always dictate their letters to Spike? He's the only one with fingers!
