    This one has had quite a bit of talk dedicated to it in the pony fandom. While I have no idea what will or will not happen, I am interested to see what turns up, and whether what few hunches I have are going to be true or not. So onward, to the episode! :D

    Finally, we can hear "Apples to the Core" in glorious high quality and not the bootleg Comic-Con preview. :D

    Indeed it should. Hello TayLaLaLa, I haven't seen you around here before! Forgive me if you have, I have a terrible memory. It's been that way all of my life.

    I think. ;)

    Ooh, a new song? Sweet!

    T'Bonz changed my name a few days back...I was trying to get it changed in DEC but the holiday.

    About MLP. I look at it through "kid eyes". I don't take it so serious as some in the fandom.

    I forget if you watched the Comic-Con preview, but if not – they previewed a song in it, and it was great.

    If you did, well, we're finally getting that song this week.

    I'm the same way. When it comes to the show, I take it exactly as it is. Of course, when I write my stories, I up the content to a more mature level, where I like to tackle more social issues, but the show is really a chance for me to just be a kid again, and I love it.

    I try to keep myself unspoiled. It's tough considering that I frequently use the internet, but I generally stay 90% spoiler free. Also, I can't wait for the new song! :D

    I have a similar policy. I wouldn't say that I'm being a kid again when I watch the show but I, too, take it as it is and am not overly concerned with continuity (unless it would be something really jarring). I have a similar approach to Doctor Who regarding continuity (most of the time, anyway).

    That's one anti-social Eagle.

    But the song was awesome and we're getting plenty of AJ/AB and Mac.

    Still think it's going to turn out to be someone else on the parchement when they get back to Twilight.

    And apparently Zubats exist in Equestria too.

    "A"

    I know they didn't explicitly state it, but Apple Sauce was doing a lot of the same little mannerisms Pinkie was at the start of the episode, I think that's all the confirmation we need.

    That was fun! Good song, too.

    Also: Peter New was Goldie. :rofl:

    Yup, GD has Pinie's hair style and her physics breaking abilities, yet a lot of fans are screaming about ambiguity and that it "went nowhere". I sense that they weren't really watching it.

    It was a family road trip, of course it went somewhere!

    Briddy gud episode, 8/10. Would watch again. Which I guess is a "B?"

    The show staff were very cruel to small animals this week. A fish, a duck, and a sap-encrusted squirrel all suffered and probably died horribly. Okay. :lol:

    The Duck was fine, it flew past them as they went over the waterfall, still wearing the wheel. Oddly enough we never saw the eagle again after that...

    The eagle fought the duck and the duck won. :D
