The first time I saw any part of this episode came from looking through random YouTube Clips, and coming upon the infamous "This is whining" scene from Rarity.  I have to say that that one clip did quite a bit in helping me to see just how much more there was to MLP.  And even the episode itself breaks through a lot of what you might expect from a character like Rarity.
