Re: S06E10: Applejack's "Day" Off
They all felt like people. Not even characters, but, like, people.

I like this too. We get to see how Ponyville works, and it makes the town seem more alive.

The episode's problem isn't that it's low key, this season has been mostly low key episodes. This episode was just really lagging and too drawn out and maybe if the gags were better that wouldn't be a problem (the last episode wasn't exactly high in the complex plot area, it just had a surplus of jokes that were entertaining)

Remember all the bizarre rituals that Applejack and her family followed every time the zap apples were coming into season? I can see why Applejack would be prone to this sort of thinking in regards to other farm work.
That reminded me, though, that I was mildly bugged by the montage at the end where one time-saving measure that Rarity suggested was to just replace an entire section of chicken-wire fence instead of patching the holes in it. That's so wasteful!

Fizzbuzz wrote:FYI, I edited this post with a more permanent Imgur upload of the same image. Pictures on 4chan get deleted when the thread they were posted in gets too old and is pruned, so you never want to embed pictures from there since they'll vanish fairly quickly.
