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!

Twilight was remarkably relaxed about everything in this episode.

I liked this, at least Twilight's princess status is acknowledged now.

Did Rarity ever wear blue shades like those?

@Crow: probably because she was dealing with kids. When she talks with them, she's a teacher and as a result doesn't feel as weird about ordering them around.

I am very okay with potion maker Apple Bloom.

I have a message from another time...

I think the adult ponies here know she's a princess but it isn't a big deal to those that live around her and know her. ...just like in real life.

It's interesting that they basically got it early on, but they lost their focus in a realistic way.

Unicycles are cool, but I prefer she sticks to the scooter. uniloo just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I wonder if that growth potion could be used to speed up production at the orchard.

Yeah, I think it's a nice distinction that they new that they had screwed up early on, but couldn't figure out how to escape the situation without losing face.

[up]It wouldn't surprise me at all if making magical fertilizer is a typical earth pony skill.

@Shota: Yeah, the whole thing makes more sense when you realize that they're elementary school kids. When you're that age, you can impress people with pretty ridiculous stuff. The adults know that Twilight being a princess is no big thing (as do the CMC), but the rest of the class only knows "princess" in the context of Celestia and Luna, so they project that degree of fame and prestige on Twilight.

Applesauce everywhere, edits inbound

Bloom's already shown proficiency at chemistry/alchemy.

This is like Sisterhooves Social in that it's a nice, relaxing episode with a lot going on.

And we have some development for the CMC

Yeah, they didn't really get too swept up by the popularity, they just didn't know how to get out of the situation. Much better than making them look like jerks for an episode.

I've always liked the idea of potion maker Applebloom, though I pictured Zecora being her teacher rather than Twilight.

It could be used to drive them out of business and to marginalize earth ponies by making their plant-growing abilities unremarkable.

I just like how the potion making is a developing trait for Apple Bloom, and how she's getting the hang of it after two big incidents involving untrained attempts.

[up][up] Not if the effect stacks with Earth Pony magic.

@Crow: Those are the advanced lessons.

@Born: If the potion is so easy that the CMC can make it, it's probably widely known already. That and the Earth Ponies could boost the effects even more.

"Uniloo" sounds like a unisex bathroom.

@Ace: Good to know she didn't just stuff the box on a shelf and forget about it. It isn't like she's actually referenced the thing since the premier.
