7 is my number. Loved the stuff with Sonambua and the Sphinx, really enjoyed Pinkie Pie being rational and level headed in this one (Seriously, she's been improving since Rock Solid Friendship), and I like the message about not losing hope.
Next Week: Raribald.

i think having daring do in the actual pony world IS a good thing, because let's face it ..... having a four headed hydra and a manticore and some other animals that i can't remember ISN'T REALISTIC ENOUGH FOR CARTOON HORSES! so you're all wrong

They also showed a scene from "Marks and Recreation" which has a filly singing about being a blank flank. Looks like our fifth and final song of the season.

"Daring Done"...gets a 9/10 from me.
Pros:
-Loved the Dashie/Pinkie combo in this episode. Pinkie Pie maintained a nice balance of being silly but still being focused and rational when the time comes whereas Dashie was of course in defending fangirl mode but was still reasonable enough to listen to the villager's story about Somnambula. All in all, a very good characterization for both of them.
-Daring Do's dilemma was portrayed in a realistic way and it made sense that it would turn her into Daring Down. Really wanted to hug her but it was good that that adventure lifted her spirits but still made an impression on her that she vowed to do better in the future about the collateral damage she causes. That's sweet that Daring could still take a lesson from it.
-The whole Somnambula area with its Egyptian theme was really great to look at. Good reminescence about the usual place in an adventure serial, liked the fashion of the villagers and how their anger was brought over as being reasonable. Also loved the story with its Egypt Wall Painting style of narration, they did not use that tired clichéd Sphinx riddle for a change and Somnambula was a real qt.
-Good action in the third act made me happy, they have really gotten good with the pacing this season, no problems here.
Cons:
-Would have liked to see Ahuizotl instead of Caballeron this time. Haven't seen Ahuizotl since Season 4 now and it would have been fresh now to seem him again in the villain role. Also has Dr. Caballeron secret flying-disabling abilities that Dashie just stood there in place and let herself be captured by him?
All in all, a wonderful comeback from last week's dreadful ep and a worthy 9/10.

Pony continues to educate me in the English language too.
Always pronounced it "tschasm" instead of "kasm".

Upcoming episode info: First we saw a clip from "It Isn't the Mane Thing About You" where due to Pinkie's outrageous silly string Pinkie and Rarity, who has the string in her mane, venture to Zecora's to get help cleaning up Sugar Cube corner and Rarity's mane. Zecora makes a potion for Pinkie to eliminate that which you concentrate on and Rarity a shampoo to restore her hair which also requires concentration. Due to Rarity's bumbling, the two potions are mixed up resulting in Rarity eliminating most of her mane, and Pinkie Pie, well all we know is that the Cake twins were helping and started cleaning each other...maybe they get huge?! Paging Eunös ✈ you'll be interested at some info on "Marks and Recreation" Second was a clip from "Marks and Recreation" where jam-making time with the CMC and campers is interupted by fan favorite blank flank, Rumble. Rumble then proceeds to tell ponies, Starlight Glimmer style, that cutie marks are bad and prevents you from doing the things you love...all in a song! That's right not only does Rumble get a voice, but he gets to sing and be the antagonist! Epic episode ahead!

Also wow, that parasprite infestation was hell on Fillydelphia When that was mentioned, I was ready to say "Thanks, Mane Six!"...then I remembered that that did not happen in the actual show, but in FiW.
