Cajun ponies! Also the green haired one reminds me of one of Applelight's pirate designs.

So you have to go through the fire swamp to get to the regular ol' swamp.

Good moral: AB was clearly wrong for trying to do this delivery, but AJ's figured out that there needs to be a balnce between protectiveness and trust.

Stalkerjack was a little annoying, though. Fire swamp was cool though.

Aaa, spoilers.

Just kidding, I don't really care.

How was the episode?

She was snapping out of it, but then Scootaloo forgot she was in a closet full of bows adjacent to the bed.

[up]Pretty good.

So is the Fire Swamp a reference to The Princess Bride? I mean, we didn't see any lightning sand or Rodents of Unusual Size.

Still left a bad taste in my mouth, despite thankfully not going there moral-wise.

Haaayeeeeeeeee!

That Chimera was pretty awesome. As was the Fire Swamp. Applebloom was lucky she didn't run into any Lightening Sand or Rodents of Unusual Size while she was there!

Kind of an odd thing, though... Applejack's fears are pretty divided over the peisode. Like initially it seems like she's just gonna be silly the whole way through and it's going to be a more domestic episode, and then she finds out Applebloom snuck out... and even without the knowledge of the Fire Swamp and Chimera, her concerns become significantly more legitimate. It feels kind of weird to have the division like that. I guess the idea is that, "There are things to be afraid of, but if you coddle your children they'll never be ready to face those dangers".

Also, Applejack's Fire Proof Boots are going to get a lot of attention I think...

Good episode, and wild mass guessThe swamps are in close proximity to the gates of Tartarus, the fire swamp likely taking its characteristics as a resultwild mass guess

BTW I noticed that the chimera was a little different from traditional depictions (Tiger instead of lion, and I'm sure that there was an eagle head somewhere), but then again Chimeras are one of the most played with tropes.

[up] Well There were two kinds of paranoia; the regular irrational kind (in this case that Apple Bloom would kill herself doing her everyday tasks) and the not-so-irrational-in-context kind (In this case the fire swamp, and the chimera)
