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!

I always forget how Equestria is full of things that would gladly partake of the meat known as pony. -cowers in a corner-

Okay, I'm back. Without spoiling the plot, what's the general consensus on the quality of the episode.

I found it to be quite decent. It depends on how OK you are with AJ being mildly overbearing.

I thought it was fairly good, but there was a kind of division in tone, which was odd.

I'm gonna give it a 'good, not great, probably could have been better'?

@JT: Pretty decent. AJ being overprotective Big Sister again.

Yeah, the shift in tone for the last third wasn't bad per se, but a bit odd.

Despite the moral, this episode was annoying and painful to watch. But since I'm the only one who feels that way anyway, I won't bother to argue. Instead I'll make an over the top grumpy face. *makes an over the top grumpy face. What? Consistency*

Lum, you're not the only one who found that utterly painful for the most part.

It's okay to not like things.

The pain I felt was the "been there, done that" kind.

At least it wasn't as bad as the time I was reading Watamote.

As far as trooping the episode, would Applejacks's list of stuff to take on the trip be an example of Chekhov's Armory? They all seem like random details but later turn out to be important—I'm just not sure if there's enough time in between for it to count for the trope.

That was pretty great. Funny throughout and the fire swamp was awesome. Plus, badass AJ is always welcome.

Is it me or have Apple Bloom and Applejack been getting.... a LOT more screentime this season than other ponies? Not to say that's a bad thing, and goodness knows Applejack needs something that will dig her out of the resident "blandest pony" out of the Mane 6, but I don't think we'll have another Applejack episode for the rest of the season.

I was starting to wonder if BOTH Applejack and Apple Bloom learned a lesson this week, instead of just one pony. Applejack's lesson was the more obvious through the episode, but I also thought that Apple Bloom going out to deliver the pies herself would be way too dangerous.
