Let's see.

It's snowing like crazy tonight.

Mom calls me and says she's stuck- she can't go uphill safely, she can't pull over (yet people are being asses and driving around her van), she could go downhill backwards but there's no parking nearby.

Dad decides to take the other car, without me and without a phone, to go rescue her.

Within a minute mom calls and says she's got down the hill with some help, and is now parked somewhere else. We can't contact dad to tell him.

Dad comes back to our street... and passes the house.

It's very frustrating to deal with him sometimes. Thankfully we were able to get it all sorted out, but it would've been much easier if he had just taken a phone with him, or come back inside when mom wasn't where she originally told us she would be.

Wow. I think the closest thing like that that happened to me was one time when my dad came to pick me up without confirming it with me beforehand. My first indication that he was coming at all was when he called me on arrival. I pointed out that I was in the middle of something and couldn't come right away, so he got angry and just drove off.

Okay. Just watched episode, and goddammit, Trolljack is the Best Thing Ever of the week.

Honestly, though, the girls were selling Rarity short on that outfit. She looked great with her mane like that. AJ didn't look half bad, either.

@Ike: Yeah, that can be frustrating. My dad does stuff like that sometimes, too. Although he has a reason for not having his phone on often; people tend to call him a lot with miscellaneous BS stuff around the apartment building, and he's too nice not to help. So he keeps his phone off so nobody can bother him while he's trying to get important stuff done.

AJ is best supermodel.

I find it hilarious to think she can fall into this role so easily because she's actually had SOME experience.

As far as cellphones go, my parents are just old fashioned, though I think they both usually carry cellphones nowadays.

Dash doesn't know what she's looking at.

AJ stifles a laugh at your ridiculous antics. I am really enjoying AJ's role as the quiet voice of reason this season.

So, random thing about the episode that I just thought of that was pretty cool: I don't know whether this was even intentional or not, but I think it's really interesting how the show never really treated it odd or unthinkable that Trenderhoof would find Applejack attractive. Sure, it's probably just because it was funnier for Rarity to imitate her, but I think it's neat that they had the guy crush on the least conventionally attractive character, and have absolutely no one show any form of surprise. It would have been really easy to have the cast react with a sort of "why her of all ponies?!", but it doesn't. It's never thought of as odd or unusual that a guy would be interested in one of the more rough-around-the-edges tomboy type characters.

Has she ever been treated as unattractive?

Finally got to watch the episode after missing the premier.

I though it was good, though I kept pausing to either laugh or cringe at Rarity's antics.

Did anyone else notice how the concept sketches appeared to repeatedly feature Rainbow Dash being put off by the event? Why would she draw that for her own concept?

I wonder what the significance of Trenderhoof passing a rose to Rarity at the end was. Just part of the show, or...

[up] Not really. Not really portrayed much the other way either, excepting perhaps her dress for the GGG.

edit:

...looking back a few pages, perhaps I shouldn't be discussing this one...

@Story: No, but she's never been treated as being anything other than average either. Even with the GGG dresses she was never really shown as being more attractive than anyone else.

@Enlong: RD doesn't seem like the type to really be into any formal stuff, so Rarity might have just drawn that in there as a joke.

I didn't notice RD in the drawings. With B&W sketches, it's hard to recognize them for sure.

Noponyies ever actually commented on ANY pony's attractiveness other then Spike with Rarity that I can recall.

Yeah, it seems weird to comment on AJ not being called unattractive when she hasn't been called unattractive. Wait, that sounded better in my head.

What caught my attention was the episode's subtle shots at the romanticization of rural life. Like when Tender and Rarity were going on about the joy of hauling apples, and AJ just grumbles to herself "why don't you try it."

I'm surprised they never had Trender actually try it and discover that he hates it.
