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!

Fridge Horror?
Yeah, that's my one complaint about this episode. A word of explanation for why Pinkie's SO EXCITED about being an Apple (even something as simple as "Of course I already have family, but they're so far away! Now I have family right here in Ponyville!") would have been nice, to prevent the more cynical among us from assuming there was some kind of falling-out between Pinkie and the rest of the Pie clan.

Also, I love how Big Macintosh was randomly talking about skydiving for some reason.

Given how close Pinkie is to the Cakes, she arguably now has two families in Ponyville to call her own.

Pinkie's a family junkie, then.

@JT: It was a very deep metaphor. I think.

Also, I meant that comment as a joke. Pinkie just really likes families. Probably.

@Meta: I didn't really get any fridge horror from that; wanting to be related to the Apples doesn't really have to mean that Pinkie has issues with her family. She just gets easily excited and really liked the prospect of being related to one of her best friends. That and as far as we know, her family doesn't live in Ponyville, so it might just be that she'd like to have family in town. Add to that how close she is to the Cakes and it seems more likely that she just wants to be really close with other ponies.

Huh, so apparently there's actually a picture of things they saw in the cave in Pinkie's scrapbook.

I'm just going to assume Pinkie is related to the Apple family based on the little bits of circumstantial evidence at the end.

Yeah, the "pulling an object out of the bottom of the stack" thing implies that she is related.

Try clearing your cache.

Okay, why did Pinkie take a picture of Big Macintosh's butt?

@Calnos: She'd still be distantly related enough that inbreeding would not be an issue :V

Pinky apple pie was pretty cute. I like how they didn't overdue the whole "We're cousins! We're related! Ho Yeah!" plot. Nor did they destroy the whole plot by say she wasn't. But just left us with a "mabey, but it doesn't matter. You've proved to be one of us" thought.

I was actually hoping that having an episode centered on her would force Pinkie to be a character for once. I guess that was too much to hope for since she is as oblivious and irritating as ever.

Other then that the episode was. . .actually quite bland, I've been saying that a lot lately and it's becoming a rather uncomfortable pattern.

[down]Quite.
