I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

I checked Derpibooru. There's already plenty of cute Vamp-shy Art. Plenty of sexy Vamp-shy, too. I'm OK with both of these.

This is some seriously cute Flutterbat

Anyway, I'm off to settle down for the night. I expect lots of artwork when I wake up. :P

How cool would it be to have apple leopards become a main vilain in the series? Or at least a main pest in an ep.

Alright, already in a bad mood, long day at work, screwed Silver out of getting to work by being an idiot and having the bike pump on me so he couldn't pump up his flat, and he's getting on the edge of having missed so many he could get fired, which would screw us both..... and now to watch a Merriwether written episode involving the Mane 6 fighting amongst each other... yay.

Not that it really matters. Applebucking seems to be a thing that's always happening at Sweet Apple Acres.

[up] Well considering they pretty much have monopoly on trees(look how many they have!), it's a given.

Alright, so far, not to bad. The conflict has some good causes, both sides have valid points, though, seems like Fluttershy's is coming off a bit to weak. I get where she's coming from but, the fact she can't really see the problem over her care for the bats.... meh maybe I'm just being nitpicky, it's not bad just, feels a tad off. And the other side came off a tad to harsh to me near the end of the song, but again not really bad just 'could be better'. The song, was pretty damn sweet.

And now, Flutters does see that both sides have a point... so, not amazing or great so far, but decent.

Though a few odd lines. "Appleloosa state fair"? And that Apple... holy fuck that apple......

Best part so far by far is RD though.

Also, Twi.. stop with the altering creatures through magic.. it never goes good for you....

And second act. Alright, this, is actually getting good. LOVED Rarity's hazmat suit. The bat reading the little magazine. Few minor things I could nitpick but, nah, overall, still doing good. Also, saw the Flutter-vamp thing coming. Though AJ, you had quite a few perfectly fine trees left, why didn't you spend the day harvesting what you could, you know get them safe indoors before they got eaten.

I have a question, did the spell render Fluttershy more feral that the individual fruit bat?

#33118: Dec 28th 2013 at 5:15:09 PM

[up] It does seem so, it put every single bat's... eeeerm... wish to be a bat into her, so it's no wonder it got exaggerated. The bats themselves seem to be fairly civil, even reading magazines XD

P.S. Also, Prinny :3

[up] Thought so. Now I'm wondering if someone will write a fic where Fluttershy didn't get cured and loses her identity instead living as a bat with no individual though an only her instincts. That would be a Tear Jerker

#33120: Dec 28th 2013 at 5:19:26 PM

Well that wasn't to bad. Beginning was meh, end was pretty good, though, the very end... eeeeeeehhhhhh making it so Fluttershy was right all along, not that happy with that. Esspecaily since her ONLY plus side to the bats being around was they spit out seeds... oookay, makes sense in nature, but, why does AJ need THEM to plant seeds? She could do a better job of it on her own, and, it's an orchard, they don't want a ton of new trees growing all over the place, they want to be able to control where and when they grow.

So, not a great episode, but not bad just, average, ton of enjoyable little gags, overall plot was decent, though had a few minor flaws. SOOOO yeah, good job Williams. It's not another Wonderbolts Academy, but it's also not another MMDW or PYHD either.

[up][up] I bet there's already like twenty... thousand of those.

[up] Well the point seems to be the new bat-trees will grow better and have better apples.

Except hey never explained how that could happen. Or, how it could even follow naturally that they would be.

On the plus side, the bats make a lot of sense to exist naturally, and nice job there. Just, if that's what they were going for, they needed to explain it better. I really don't see HOW it could be that way.

Ah boy, now Seraphem's going into nitpicky gripe mode. And sheesh, I'm sick of the negativity around Williams. Come on people, she wrote a few clunkers, get over it.

Seraphem Since: Oct, 2009
#33125: Dec 28th 2013 at 5:30:44 PM

Hey, these are just minor things. When do we NOT over analyze the tiny little details? Overall, it was a pretty good episode. Few minor flaws, but plenty of great gags and jokes.

Really the fact that Fluttershy was proven to be 'right' in the end, despite having a pretty flimsy reason for it is my only really major issue,. and again it's fairly minor overall.
