She could at least wear something that doesn't look so expensive and intricate. Or just go commando. The way secret identities go, she'd really only need the domino mask.

Twilight is making a mental note to shut down the House of Enchanted Comics immediately, pending the investigation of a recent abduction spree in Canterlot.

And now the Power Ponies get sucked out right after temporarily disabling all the villains. Five minutes later, they all wake up, realize the heroes vanished, and proceed to annihilate Maretropolis.

They probably exist in the universe, they just got temporarily displaced. How else would M Aneiac recognzie them?

The moral of the story is that Spike is indeed a crucial part of the team: the HM slave. Also that he actually does have superpowers distressingly similar to Fluttershy's but nopony talks about that.

Next up: we have bats. I expect to see...well...bats. Honestly I'm gonna feel a bit cheated here if I don't.

I'm reminded of a bit of dialogue in an early episode of the live-action Incredible Hulk TV series:

David Banner: I really need to buy shirts that stretch.
Woman: What?
David Banner: Nothing.

We begin with a minor chord that later is shown to be completely inappropriate.

Applejack looks like she's enjoying her job a wee bit too much. If nothing else, I guess now we know why her apples are extra juicy (sales, predictably, went up even more when that story broke).

The apples all have blue balls.

@Story: I don't have time at the moment to go through the story in detail, but it sounds like the main issue is a pretty standard description issue. The thing is that when you're describing something happening, you can't just state the bare minimum of the facts of what's going on, you have to attempt to evoke an image in the reader's mind by giving details. You don't even necessarily have to add new descriptions, it's more a case of taking what you have and finding an interesting way of getting it across.

Bats in my wazoo? Hang on then, I need to get some Preparation H.

"Vampire fruit bats" could actually mean two different things. Because vampire fruit is a thing.

Holy Luna's moon-dusted pancreas! That apple is like, serious GMO's. I'm reminded of growing chickens with massive edible tumors.

By "TLC", she means "T-Lymphocyte Clones". So many of them that the apple is biologically immune to the square-cube law.

"Applejack! When you go big, you really go big!" Cue mountain of Rarijack futa.

Apparently, painfully showering diplomats with fruit seeds is how vampires say yes. They also pee through their fingers, and Fluttershy is lucky she didn't stick around for their idea of goodbye.

Pinkie gave AJ and Flutters access to the saturation slider for this song.

I feel like that last sentence is a reference to something. I'm going to refrain from asking what.

Saturation is just a component of color. The song was blue tinted except during Fluttershy's segment.

He meant the Scary Movie reference. And I'm pretty sure that was desaturation instead of just a blue tint (Fluttershy's part oversaturated it into a washed-out look), but whatever.

Okay, so Applejack's plan is genocide. Fluttershy's plan is to let the bats throw seeds willy-nilly so the trees choke each other out and render the entire orchard fallow.

I love how Dash's first thought on hearing about a grisly famine is booze.

Oh hey, the Stare is back. She hasn't done that since, like, Season 1.

Pinkie is pulling a Leeroy. Rarity is using one of her many hazmat suits. Dash is rounding them up and presumably bopping them on the head. Twilight and Applejack are watching everypony else do work for them.

Flutters can actually do her Stare on command. So it really is a superpower instead of just concentrated righteous anger.

So has nopony realized that Twilight basically mindfucked all the bats into accepting an instinct to not eat food? They may actually have been better off with a magical nuke.

Ummm, no AJ never even considered genocide. none of them ever even suggested or hinted at being willing to hurt the bats, let alone kill them. She simply wanted to get them off her farm.

[up][up]I started things off with wazoo bats, Preparation H, Luna's pancreas, and Applejack's inappropriate food additives. You probably shouldn't take anything I say too seriously.

Spike takes the credit like a boss.

Fluttershy acting suspicious OH MY GOD SHE IS THE ZOMBIES.

What the hell is that bat reading? :S

Wow Flutters, I've seen Die Hard movies more subtle than that.

Twi and Rarity kept their superhero signals from the last episode. Pinkie kept Maneiac's powers of prehensile doom hair. Presumably Rainbow Dash's signal is to cause a massive natural disaster.

Pinkie is Dig Dug.

In another impressive show of priorities, Twilight put most of her extra points from going alicorn into Recap Spells. Dazzle foes with your edgy futuristic neon marquees!

"We'll reverse the spell and make it right! Oh, and Fluttershy may have to be fed through an IV for the rest of her life after this."

Well, at best, you could assume she ONLY made them ignore apples, not other types of fruit. But if not then, yeah, what the hell Twilight.

Applejack's prizewinning apple was cross-bred with an aromatic cheese.

And the moral is to never let Pinkie Pie recap your spell-induced amnesia.

"More cider! In about 40 years."

wait what

Anywho... not sure what to discuss now... I've got nothing to discuss, especially since I'm most likely not going to go through with a potential subject.

"I know! I'll just make the bats like some other kind of fruit, so they can destroy somepony else's farm!" Good thinking, Twi!

Yeah, I really have no idea what Fluttershy's plan was. Pretty sure orchards are laid out in rows, there was probably quite a bit of planning that went into where to put all the apple trees and how many a field could sustain. Spitting out seeds randomly doesn't seem like it would help. Also, apple trees are propagated via grafting. I don't think apple farmers actually plant seeds.

@JT. Yeah, I've heard that one like 5 times. Only complaint is the vocals could have been just a bit louder, the song sounds just a bit tinny.
