The more I think about it, the less pleased I am with the Maud Pie episode. I liked the character, and her obsessive nature, and some parts of it were hilarious. I was disappointed at first that Tom the Rock ( "Here comes TOM!!" ) never got mentioned, but I can see how that whole incident is something they might not want to remember. On thinking further, though, Rarity's ability to find gemstones is surely the sort of thing that someone ought to have used to try to make conversation with Maud. She can also apparently eat quartz (or was that a diamond?) just like Spike (who was conspicuously absent). Again, as desperate as they were to start a conversation with her, that's the kind of thing someone should have jumped on.
