I've got lots of things to say, but let's start with the summary.
-Summary-
Fluttershy's teaching baby birds to fly, when Dash swoops in. The new Daring Do book is coming in 6 months! (Well, she knows how we feel before every season...)
Pinkie's throwing an "International Random Holiday" party, and Twi tells Dash that the book has been delayed. We find out that they're both huge fans, and Dash decides to stalk A.K Yearling, the author, and make her write faster.
The gang goes to her house and and see that it's ruined!!
Yearling walks in and thinks that they ruined the house,
but she drops the subject, and goes to find a book that has some mysterious ring in it.
Some randome stalions sneek in and try to take the ring. But NOPE! A.K Yearling is Daring Do, and she won't let that happen.
The ponies understand that everything in the books is real and Daring is on some sort of quest!
Meanwhile, some other buff pony shows up and the ring is stolen!
Daring flies away, saying that she works alone and doesn't want any help from Rainbow.
Despite Daring Do making it clear that she doesn't want them around, the ponies follow her. Rainbow rushes after her and persuades Daring to let her help. Well she's no help because she's hiding in the bushes most of the time.
They catch up with the theifs, who are pleasantly dining, and Daring comes up with the greatest plan ever: make a fake beard out of leaves!
Her identity is unveiled (what a shocker) when the evil Ahuizotl appears. He sends out an army of felines to fight Daring and get the ring. She is defeated and captured by them!
Dash's friends finally arrive, but she already lost hope and wants to go home. Twi gives her an inspirational speach, which lifts up her spirits. They all decide to save her by any cost!
While they're trying to find Daring, she is about to get eaten by piranhas.
We find out that Ahuizotl wants to use the ring to bring 8 centuries of deadly heat. But just in time Dash rescues her, and they save the day together (with the other ponies too).
The episode ends with Rainbow writing in the journal about her adventure. She also receives a copy of the book with herself on the cover a week earlier.
-Music-
The background music was cool, it added a certain adventurous spirit.
And am I the only one who noticed the Wilhelm Scream in the episode? (hint hint it's at 14:50ish :D )
-Personal Opinion-
I thought that the episode was nice. Not what I expected, but nice. I was really shocked, because I expected that Twilight's mom was the author of the Daring Do series! Guess that it was just a rumor.
Few points I noticed:
• If Ahuizotl is real, and he is, then what is he? He's not a pony, dragon, nor griffon! I hope that this will be explored later in the show.
• Ahuizotl wants to bring 8 centuries of heat. Sounds familiar... How come he's not on the moon by now? :D
• Speaking of which, does Celestia or Luna know about all this? It's not possible that huge temples, mysterious creatures and magic heat-bringing rings were secret until then!
I really loved the way Daring and Dash grew closer. From strangers they became good friends! That really made this episode awesome.
-Overview-
I love Daring Do. I love Rainbow Dash. Both of them in an episode together? Yes please!
8 out of 10- that's my verdict.
Have a daring day/night!
