If you want to jump around, pony-wise, I suggest watching "Suited for Success" and "A Dog and Pony Show," as the episodes that startled me most. There are lots of other sweet and funny ones, though. Really the first two are the worst.
I'm also kind of amused at the world-building. In the original My Little Pony there really wasn't much thought given to the universe the ponies live in. In this one, they are mythological constructs that create weather and change the seasons (literally: they have to wrap-up winter), and they all have roles and things they do. Plus, this one has thought given to little things like "how do creatures with four feet dress"... there's one episode where a pony shows up with an umbrella, which is mounted to a saddle on her back. Because, of course, how else would she be able to hold it. :)
Anyway, yes. Poke around, see if it amuses you more.
And thank you for that link! I will go read it tonight, while winding down for bed. :)
