I liked how they explained that you see them in a bunch of episodes. "Well, Lyra lives in Ponyville now, so we're always over there visiting her, and vice versa." I also appreciated all the callouts to Episode 1/2, not to mention that Pinkie knew Colgate from being at Cadance's wedding. The writers seem to be taking more of an interest in continuity lately.
Really interesting that they used Moon Dancer as an illustration of what Twilight's life would have been had she stayed in Canterlot and never met the other Mane 6.
Love the callbacks, too! I remember M. A. Larson mentioning in a season 3 (?) interview that he usually kept up with the continuity, and he came back for season 5.
I mean, we are talking about the man who sat through the first seasons just to make a complete list of all the background ponies. He mentioned it somewhere when Slice of Life aired. You just have to respect that level of dedication.
On a semi-related note, I can't wait to see if they are going to poke the fandom with Lyra and Bon Bon even more, the flower incident discussion was hilarious to follow.
Also, I can smell the Pinkette ships from way over here. Now we just wait...
