1	* BrokenBase: The reception of another Applejack centric episode was split down the middle. While it pleased many that AJ finally got another ADayInTheLimelight after spending most of Season Two OutOfFocus or [[OvershadowedByAwesome her centre spotlight stolen]], some believe the episode suffered as a result by recycling the SeriousBusiness plot akin to those of Twilight's episodes, but AJ's [[TheEveryman more reserved personality]] allowed for less extreme humor and a much more mundane outcome. This explains why AJ rarely gets lead roles in the first place.
2	* FanficFuel:
3	** Babs's life at her new school, particularly her mentioned friendship with two other ponies who are apparently Cutie Mark Crusaders.
4	** Apple family members that travel by CoolAirship.
5	* FanNickname: The fiddle-playing Octavia PaletteSwap in the barn raising song is often called "Fiddlesticks" though she used to be called Viola when she debuted in "Luna Eclipsed".
6	* HilariousInHindsight: Applejack with a mouthful of apples (demonstrating the bobbing-for-apples leg of the race) may remind WebAnimation/PonyDotMov fans of APPLE.MOV.
7	* {{Moe}}: Baby Applejack.
8	* NauseaFuel: Auntie Applesauce losing her half of her teeth while making apple jam. Granny Smith provides even more by saying they never found her teeth in any of the jars.
9	* OneSceneWonder:
10	** '''BABY''' '''[[RidiculouslyCuteCritter APPLEJACK]]'''.
11	** The song features a PaletteSwap of Octavia playing the fiddle (named "Fiddlesticks" by the fandom). Despite the fandom's tendancy to latch on to characters like this and the fact she got almost as much focus as [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E14SuitedForSuccess DJ-PON3]], she never really got quite as much attention as Octavia did.
12	** [[MinnesotaNice Apple Dumpling and Apple Leaves]] in their one speaking scene together.
13	* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: After a controversial debut, Babs Seed got a very positive portrayal, validating her more sympathetic character interpretations and letting her prior bad rep die down.
14	* SoOkayItsAverage: The general consensus, due to the episode's focus around [[TheStraightMan Applejack]], with no scene stealing characters or particularly memorable gags in sight.
15	* {{Squick}}: Any time Auntie Applesauce's dentures fall out of her mouth.
16	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Babs Seed mentions setting up her own Manehattan Cutie Mark Crusaders chapter with two other foals.
