Gotta say, I really liked the character of Lightning Dust. She was clearly the bad "this is what you shouldn't do" character of the episode, but she also wasn't a totally rotten pony either. She was kind of like a less obnoxious Gilda, only more obsessed with being the very best (like no one ever was) than with being cool. Plus that disappointment on her face at the end looked genuine, if only in the "aww how could I not have been the very best" sense of the feeling. Felt like there was a veeeeerrry slight bit more complexity to her characterization than these sorts of characters usually get, and that was appreciated.
Plus: dat lightning trail. Awesome.
Pinkie Pie's schtick this episode was kind of annoying, though. Felt more like it was done to pad out the episode when the main Academy stuff wasn't enough to fill out the whole runtime.

Agreed. I think it was also the only way to get the other ponies to get any amount of screen time.
My friend gave me Black 2 for Christmas. It's used, but the file of the previous owner is Rarity. Either they were a Brony or a little girl, either way awesome.
Wow whats up with Pinkie Pie this episode, my enjoyment of the the Wonderbolt stuff kept getting interrupted and thus the pacing fell flat for me. They could had easily had a more concentrated cast: fluttershy, Rainbowdash and then Lightning Dust, and worked the dynamic from there.
Also, this is a pretty big development point for RD. Was it officially stated that she is now a wonderbolt?
Also, clouds can be stood on by non pegasi, although they have to be compacted to some sort of extreme degree, probably only achieved by a pegasus.
Was an okay episode. Loved Rainbow Dash's interactions and character development throughout the whole thing. I didn't mind Lightning Dust actually, I would be happy if she came back.
Wasn't a fan of Pinkie Pie in super irritating obsessive mode and Spitfire's character and voice change. I mean, she could have atleast ACKNOWLEDGED Rainbow Dash. And also, it's so obvious that RD and LD are Wonderbolt Material and everyone else is not.

This is a sample:
As for the creepers, I dunno. They're in most of the comics by that artist.
edit:
I must use this one at some point.
