Here's a legible version:

I looked at that, It's pretty interesting although I mostly glanced at each catagory, but It's interesting. For some reason I like how Dash seems to be like "why am I here?" - that's the impression I got from her expression anyway.

The slight broadening of format (everypony writing to Celestia instead of just TS) has really opened the doors for what can be the focal point of a given ep. It's felt like nearly every ep of S2 has added something great to enrich the world.

watching back through some of the S1 episodes you really notice how they not only laid some groundwork, but, unlike many shows aimed at a younger audience, they actually had themes recur and almost anything mentioned seems to later become more relevant even if it seemed like a throw away the first time around.
I've trimmed some of what you've said for this reply, but the gyst of what you've said is one of the many reasons I love this show.

I'm a little late, but I loved the reading episode and was going to say more about it, but I've missed my mark I fear. I will watch the latest episode tonight or tomorow night - looking forward to it.
