Can't believe they got their cutie marks mid season, and certainly wasn't expecting those for their cutie marks. And DT Sining and SS getting her own character + singing.Season 5 has really been killing it. In particular, this episode is definitely up there with Amending Fences/Cutie Map for one of the best of the season I think.

A certain family resemblance cannot be denied, though I wonder how Spoiled Rich's snout ended up looking like that. A danger of turning up your nose too many times, I suppose...
Would Spoiled Rich's cutie mark indicate she married rich?

According to AKR's tweets Spoiled Rich's name was originally Married Rich, so yea, her special talent that shapes who she is is that she a gold digga

Oh yeah, that's another thing, I never expected the show to actually have Big Mac, Applejack, or Apple Bloom acknowledge their parents being dead. This is about the best way it could've happened.PonyHag714 wrote:
Big Mac crying
Unintentional as the timing may have been, I think the final scene with Mac and AB last week added some emotional punch to the scene with the Apples today.

Fizzbuzz wrote:Well, between how she and the others act now vs. how they were in S1 and the fact that they've got their cutie marks, it'd now be dead easy for the show to outright say the CMC are growing up.
kidcoelacanth wrote:how to get a cutie mark, apparently: follow around an asshole and let her sing for half an episode
Wayoshi wrote:Porcupines are a symbol of super strength, apparently.
Adelor Lyon wrote:Bingo. Halfway through the episode I was like, "Well, they've wrapped up the initial story of the episode, and we're only halfway through!" And then each time the CMC showed up they weren't engaging in whacky hijinks or being silly or doing anything really comedic for comedy's sake. This was a very grown-up and serious episode, split into two separate pieces until they were joined together at the end. And then we got the real party piece after all that! This was some great writing, perfectly paced, and just a whole lot of fun.
Fizzbuzz wrote:If the marks were any more similar then I'd be worried, but as they are now they're still unique enough that I can deal with it. It helps to think of this like how the Mane Six all got their cutie marks as a result of Rainbow Dash doing the sonic rainboom for the first time, but on a more personal level.
I don't know, maybe I was just prepared for this. I figured that after Bloom and Gloom teased the idea of Apple Bloom's cutie mark being for potion-making, there'd be no way that the marks of her and the others would be plain representations of their skills.

I like it. It says that part of the CMC's special talent is being a team, though they're still all unique individuals.
