Yeah, I thought the humor was pretty much spot-on throughout. And we finally got a good Applejack episode. About time.

@Japanese Teeth She really needed another episode and besides she isn't used that much in the show anyway.

Ginger pointed out that the cave sequence was an Offscreen Moment of Awesome for the family. Since it's specifically said to be dangerous because it's full of dangerous beasts that try to eat ponies, and they all came out without a scratch.

Fantastic episode. GREAT song, great reprise, great character moments all around, and TWO good morals. The ending was the most touching I seen in a long time! I think when you got Ashleigh Ball singing in My Little Pony, it's guaranteed to be among the best.

Yay, it's finally up on Youtube. Hopefully this one will actually work, unlike the Daily Motion one.

In other news, I was reading through an old fanfiction thread and came across a post by Posey. Talk about a shock.

Come to think of it, we haven't heard from Flea Candy (Posey's IRL friend) in a few months, either. Last I heard from her, she said there was a death in her family and she had to take time off to deal with it. She hasn't posted since then, has she?

Who is Posey? Sincerely forgive my ignorance.

@Luminosity: a recently-deceased poster who frequented the old thread. a Running Gag she used to partake in was "dating" another former regular, an Applelight Limited.

yeah, it's crazy when you realize how small our little community is, despite our influence on the net at large. I still come across old posters that haven't been for a while on other threads. Rest in peace Posey, it would have been a better season with you hear to watch with us. sad

she seemed so happy a lot of the time. I think she was gone for a few weeks and came back to tell us about her trip to Japan, though forgive me if that was another poster. And she and Apple had flurty slightly cute conversations and they'd joke about hotting the taco when they're on together. And we jokingly shipped them together; I think we called them Poseylight.

One time when my family was playing Jenga we actually managed to remove the middle block AND one of the side blocks from a row near the bottom and still didn't have the tower fall.

I was hoping we'd get to learn a bit more about the Pies from a flashback or something.

I actually looked it up and Golden Delicious IS a stallion from the first episode. But this episode isn't about Golden Delicious, its about Goldie Delicious. See. Totally different character.

Quick, without looking: which of the characters in the photo in the new opening has had the least screen-time? It's the Mayor.

So, I finally got a chance ot watch the episode. I think that was possibly the best episode of season 4 yet. Definitely the best song. And it had tons of great gags too. I think this even makes up for Apple Family Reunion being so bad. My only complaints were that the animation during the song was unnatural and recycled, and the Applelicious gag, while funny, felt out of place.

Anyway, thoughts

  • Gripping a scroll like that doesn't seem like it should actually work. Also, Spike actually knows a word for once
  • "Applejack was the one responsible?" I think Apple Bloom is going by the "You Smelt it, You Dealt It" rule.
  • Pinkie having to stop for breath while saying "right" was great
  • Also now that Pinkie's away, the conflict for the episode is introduced. I half expected Pinkie to pop out of the wagon
  • And here we have the famous Comic Con song. It's a great song. Shame the animation is so bad.
  • Also, Applejack is playing a banjo with hooves on screen. This should really shut up the "E Ps can't do anything" crowd, though I doubt it actually will if they still belevie in the inferiorty of hooves after all this time.
  • Where did they get those logs from? Pretty sure nothing in the wagon parts looked like that
  • And here we have Applebloomlicious. Seems a bit out of place. Also, confirmation that eagles or ospreys or whatever are carniviorous.
  • AJ seems to do best when she can act as the straight mare. AFR failed badly because the whole conflict rested on her, but here shhe has lots of characters to bounce off of.
  • Balloons? I thought she said it was a parachute in there.
  • And Ospreys attack ducks too I guess?
  • I think Goldy Delicious is actually the long lost relative of Fluttershy. Or perhaps Ahuizotl.
  • There seem to be a lot of sight gags here. I didn't catch what Pinkie was drawing on the mirror
  • Also, Pinkie makes another rare fourth wall breaking.

Overall, a great episode.

wild mass guessGranny was right. That cave was not the scariest cave in Equestriawild mass guess

"Ponies go in, but they never come out." They came out just fine. Heck, it didn't look like the monsters even touched them.
