I get the impression that the animators and writers aren't even trying to hide the Doctor Who and R34 references. Also, this joke is so over-done you just had to have seen it coming. Unless you looked directly at Rarity's underwear. In other news, I appear to be having a series of bad luck with cops. I blame Mardi Gras season. Not to mention I'm seeing way more kitty roadkills than I'd like (mostly in progress, ugh).
