So she's been getting a lot of screen time this season, but you don't think she's going to get much more? Problem solved.

Poor Apple Bloom, doing everything PERFECTLY while she was alone only for Applejack to get her to completely mess everything up once she returned! And then she acted as though SHE made the mess! :(

Apple Bloom's actress IS sounding much older now. :O

Probably wrong time but Winter Wrap Up was great!

I was starting to wonder if BOTH Applejack and Apple Bloom learned a lesson this week, instead of just one pony.
The apparent removal of the "Dear Princess Celestia" bit also eliminates the spot of the designated lesson-learner. So that kind of possibility is now open.

[up] Yes it was! Did you just watch it now?

I didn't find this episode grating. The only moment I found grating was when the script made the parallel of sisterly fighting with the chimera's sisters. Uuuuugh. sad

Ricotta was just the best resolution to the whole thing.

@JT: General consensus is that it's a decent episode, but Applejack's overprotective-ness is pretty much a Base Breaker.

On Applejack's overprotective-ness, I can see why people would be turned off. On the one hand, it's not like she hasn't been overprotective of Apple Bloom before so it makes a bit of sense and admittedly some of it was funny (I kinda got a kick out of the helmet gag). At the same time, her overprotective-ness is reminiscent of her eagerness to make the Apple Family Reunion the best reunion ever and the general opinion of that wasn't all that great. I know Applejack wants the best for her family, but these kinds of episodes tend to give her Twilight-level paranoia, which just doesn't work with her. Also, for a bit of Fridge Logic, she's ridiculously overprotective in this episode, but regularly lets the Cutie Mark Crusaders do whatever they want? More than half the things the CMC do is more dangerous than many of the things Applejack is trying to protect Apple Bloom from.

@Shota: Well, at least they didn't go the "I can relate, so let's be friends" route.

This situation is different than any of the times before. Apple Bloom is growing and the family feels it's finally time for her to look after the house alone. That's a HUGE step for children, especially, if not moreso, for the parents and older family members! The family dynamic is the best thing I love about Applejack in general.

I love when characters grow a beard, even if they're still kids.

That scene of AB climbing out the window was some subtle foreshadowing, come to think of it.

Big Mac is instructed to go to the pie fair. .... he is never seen in the final scene.

I thought it was said he went to a completely different location.

@Shota: He's still at the fair. Being accosted by some lovely mares.

Big Mac is DEAAADDDD

I like the moral even more now. There will clearly be consequences for this (grounding), but AJ knows AB can be alone if they every need to go out.
