Re: S05E05: Tanks For The Memories

In all seriousness though, I doubt there will be any evidence that it's winter unless it's directly relevant to the plot.

Seasons 3 and 4 were pretty restrained, looking back. I was kinda missing the inventiveness we used to see in S1 a lot, even if back then it often felt like they just hadn't solidified certain things about the style yet.

Is it funny? If so, I assume it's because Twilight was trying to deflect Pinkie's attack to include AJ, which backfired immediately -- comedy, right? But I was with Twilight on how ridiculous everyone was acting, unless you go with the hibernation as a metaphor for death* angle. In that case, Twilight should be taking it seriously and trying to console RD more, even if she isn't personally invested in Tank. So either everyone was acting over the top, Twilight doesn't care, or Twilight is an autistic robot who can't into feelings, even though she has in the past, specifically with RD. Ha ha?
Do people get feels from it, because you could draw a line from that to her reaction to her parents dying? Ya know, emphasizing how she's a tough tomboy gal, right? Even though she's cried and gotten emotional before plenty of times. Or is it funny because she has been emotional before, so it's the opposite of the truth? Maybe I'm thinking it over too much.
That whole crying scene was all over the place tonally. For me it was more funny than anything, but apparently a lot of people took it as a gut punch. I can't take the drama seriously with these over the top cartoon faces mugging the screen, not to mention all the Looney Tunes tears. The show has done more somber depictions of crying and depression that tugged at my heart strings. This felt more like one of Rarity's diva meltdowns, which doesn't fit RD at all. I know, I know, it's supposed to be her lowest moment, and she's letting the mask down. All that was missing was a snot nose bubble.
