Really cute episode,flutterguy was great,big mac has a awesome singing voice,and the songs were great. Only real complaint was pinkie being way to in flutters face,but at least the others knew she was over doing it. Also im glad to see Cheerimac still exists in show.

@ed: No one gets over Big Mac.

I noticed that the bowties were the same as the ones on Bon Bon's cutie mark. Nice try show, but it's too late. She's a candy maker now, and you can't convince me otherwise.

So much to love about this episode. While I agree Pinkie was a bit too oblivious today, it was worth it to see Rarity smack her with a rolled-up paper for it. Not that I dislike Pinkie, I just thought that particular gag was funny.

I'm going to have to rewatch this again just for all the background stuff.

Except Fluttershy was the one singing in the scene where Cheerilee swooned. Bet Cheerilee felt a bit weird once she realized that.

Stealth Fluttershy/Cheerilee shipping. I approve. Never thought of that pairing before.

I wonder how Big Mac feels about Flutterguy being better at this.

[up]Well, Big Mac still has an awesome singing voice worth swooning over.

I also find it interesting that Fluttershy never questions her decision to take the Joke, seemingly regarding Flutterguy as just the same person as herself. It's probably not quite intended that way, but I can really see a pro trans message out of that

.Are you sure, the recap page says Rodgers.

Is it me or did Fluttershy already LEARN this lesson in "Hurricane Fluttershy"?

IrishZombie Since: Dec, 2009
#49521: Feb 15th 2014 at 8:41:56 AM

Nah, I think Hurricane Fluttershy's lesson was more like "Don't be afraid to contribute when others need you, even if you can't contribute much", while this episode was more about being proud of what you can do well.

@Dark: Not that I'm against that message or anything, but where are you getting that message? The poison joke doesn't change anything except her voice. It's not like it actually turns her into a stallion. This is more analogous to being willing to sing in a helium voice (well, sodium hexaflouride voice, but same idea).

@Shota: There's a subtle difference. In that one, Fluttershy had an obligation to do something she doesn't like doing and isn't very good at for the sake of helping out the group, whereas in this one she likes singing and has talent for it, but her anxiety simply prevents her from enjoying it when others can see her. They both involve performance anxiety, but there's a difference in that in this episode she likes singing and is genuinely good at it, and her nerves are her only issue; she just doesn't want to be the center of attention. Whereas in "Hurricane Fluttershy" her problem was more that she believes her self a terrible flyer and doesn't want to let the group down by not being up to par.

Or basically, what [up] said.

I suppose. As the show progresses, I can see writers struggling to figure out new lessons the Mane 6 would be able to learn without repeating themselves.

That said, this episode WAS REALLY ENTERTAINING. It's not the best episode of the season, but it had TONS of nods to fandom memes, Flutterguy is now canon, and I LOVED the tiny hyper little filly pegasus!

"Hurricane Fluttershy" said that, even if you're not very good at something, you can still make an important contribution.

This episode said that you shouldn't let your fear hold you back from doing something that you love.
