One of the reasons MLP:FiM is so superior to, say, earlier incarnations of My Little Pony, is that the plot of each episode isn't about some boring bad guy or scary thing, but is about the ponies - their characters and their relationships.
Everything in a MLP:FiM episode serves two purposes: It advances the story, and it develops the characters and their relationships with each other.
Well, this episode breaks that rule, spending its time showing us how nasty this Gryphon is. Yawn. And that's why it's the weakest of MLP:FiM season 1.
