(I know we don't agree on many things with AJ or her family but I'll gladly let you go back in time and plant the idea in Josh Haber's mind via that movie no one understood just as he's about to start the script so that episode will happen)
:excellent:



We shall go back...TO THE FUTURE... Of the past! :-D

But yeah, I could see something like that or maybe even for shock value have Granny Smith encourage such a charade. But I could be wrong and it could just be SAYS 2.0 in AJ not wanting to be mean for some reason.

Either way it'll be fun to see Rarity go bat-sh*t crazy ala Twilight in Lesson Zero over this goofy hipster guy.

This will be very cringe worthy I feel, but in a good way, Ham it up Rarity, ham it up!

I don't think this will be a key ep. Aren't they doing those every other episode? I think that's been the trend so far.

preview edit: That is an awesome look for Fluttershy. Just as good as her face in Headless' avatar. :allears:

Haven't they come like two episodes after the last one?

Like Ep 8 RtM, Ep 10 Rainbow Falls, Ep 12 Pinkie Pride. Ep 14 ???

Yeah, that's what I meant by "every other episode." One episode with a key, one episode without a key, one episode with a key, etc etc...

But episode 14 is a Fluttershy ep & 16 is the Breezies though, so if AJ doesn't get her key here it means probably ep 17 or 18 !? :pinkieshrug:

Given that we waited until Episode 8 for RTM, I'm sure there will be another gap in there somewhere. It's not really important when they happen, anyway, so long as they do happen.

Trenderhoof's design is brilliant, he totally screams "hipster" but in a way that's not too much of a ridiculous caricature. Also, Rarity flipping out is never not great. I'm way hype. :vogue:

(weneed to get some more Rarity emotes from this episode.)

They could be doing the key eps now for other things in the back half.

I have a theory that the Equestrian Games and the season finale may not be the same thing. Maybe there's going to be two, two part episodes in the back half for each.

You know, I take back what I said about every even episode since RTM being a key episode. I think each one will have either their name or part of their name in it: Rarity Takes Manehatten, Rainbow Falls, Pinkie Pride, possibly Twilight Time, etc...

There's a regular episode between key episodes. So this isn't a key episode.

The human brain's ability to perceive patterns is certainly something, isn't it?

I'm pretty confident that there is an actual pattern here. It's not the "human brain's ability to perceive patterns" when that's what's happening.

Rarity takes Manehatten - Key episode
Pinkie Apple Pie - regular episode
Rainbow Falls - Key episode
Three's a crowd - regular episode
Pinkie Pried - key episode
Simple Ways - regular episode

But Episode 16 is most likely a Fluttershy episode since it's about the Breezies soo... Yeah.

I would've rather liked it if they lined up the key episodes in one row and got it over with, but that's not what's going to happen.

It could end up being a story about getting over hopeless fantasies. Like, given the way Spike wasn't acting all pissy and jealous in the first clip, perhaps he's finally gotten over Rarity and this episode will contrast him with Rarity not letting go of Trenderhoof. If the story is more about that then I think that's enough for the episode to avoid being cliched.

Precisely the right way to skewer and obliterate creepy potential shipfests before they even begin. Instead, you get to laugh at the whole thing as AJ just gets more and more uncouth by the frame in that clip.

Also, Rarity scorned is often best Rarity of all. See Rarity Takes Manehatten for many excellent examples...

I hope the pattern-seeing people are right in this case. I would hate for this to be Applejack's Key episode, simply because we know Rarity's going to steal the show. And I would rather AJ's key episode not be stolen.

But on the other hand, I can't wait to see Rarity steal the show. :vogue: Because it's gonna be great.

Because AJ is obviously going all chic in order to make Rarity more alluring by comparison.

That clip is amazing. This episode will be amazing.
