"Rainbow Dash and Pinkie pie are called by the map to the ancient kingdom of Griffonstone but have conflicting ideas as to what problem they have been called to fix."

And the map story-arc FINALLY returns. I wonder if this "Griffonstone Kingdom" is located on mainland Equestria or located past the "Yonder to Griffons" arrow on the poster map. Either way, more world-building is always welcomed. The plot teaser is very vague, but it could be interesting.

So why is it called the Griffon Kingdom when they don't have a king?

Because they had a king.

I liked how they rip offed paid homage to Indiana Jones. 

 

Also the seems map has just replaced Celestia's role of telling the Mane 6 where to go and fix problems.

Its been pretty solid. However it still needs that  one really good episode. I think last weeks came pretty close.

The whole mysterious intelligence behind the map that they don't question seems to be a really lazy plot device. The writers only wanted RD and Pinkie for this one, so this saves them from writing a reason why everyone else was busy. I'll be real happy if they actually bring up the question of "Who is 'the map' anyway? Why are we just doing exactly what it says without question?".

yeah this episode really highlighted that.

 

I mean Twilight wanted to go! and the map was just like "nope, can't" and she doesn't even question it. I didnt see any reason why her going would have had a negative effect. 

Unless the map knew that if Twilight went than she could have easily saved Rainbow Dash and not have gotten Gilda to help and learn the friendship lesson.

 

Idk, guess ponies are just more trusting than humans.

I hope the map betrays the mane 6, it would give the effect of "Maybe we shouldn't have just blindly followed instructions...".

I would snap back to 100% interest in the show if they did that, what a great message that would be.

True.

 

Although we'll have to remind ourselves that this map was created by the most powerful magic in all of Equestria. (I'm wondering whether i should question that or not...)

Ehh, I dunno. I think Equestria is likened to America because it's largely broadcasted in America and was created in America and has a larger audience, guess where, in America! That is an interesting thought though, it would be nice to see a place likened to the UK but I guess we've already got that with Trottingham, though it's a shame we haven't seen the place.

I don't know actually, but I think at some point on this server someone made a griffon town that had Asian type buildings in it, so that assumption stemmed from there. I don't even know if it was on this server, but I think it probably was.

I think the reason why some people expected an Asian type theme was because the hats that Pinkie and Rainbow Dash were wearing looked Asian in nature, like the Huns hats.

Yeah, I'm getting several inklings about different things from Season 5 so far. But honestly, I really don't think they would've made such a big thing about Twilight being annoyed about not getting to see Griffonstone, if the map's authority wasn't going to be challenged at some point. It's actually a situation we've come across before - Twilight being challenged to blindly follow Celestia's orders to save the Crystal Empire alone, or let Spike help. It's not the first time high authority (or at least, Twilight's perception of) has been called into question. But yeah, that map's too 'unquestionable' to remain as such. It's going to happen at some point.

I'm not too hopeful, it looks to me like it is just a very lazy plot device to get the characters on their little missions, so they can skip the whole setup and get right to the adventure.

I actually think it's pretty sensical that they're following the map. Considering the way they actually got the castle and the way Celestia was all like "Let me explain to you what this thing is" it's no wonder that they followed the magic hologram map that sprung out of the floor.
