I'll be surprised if it doesn't wind up in most people's top five episodes by the time that the season's over.

That whole "Who's on first?" bit ranks right up there with "But Namby Pamby was a great editor!"- it just keeps on going. Beautiful.

  • This is definitely shaping up to be a pretty serious season. I know they've talked about some comedy coming later in the previews, but so far it's been pretty heavy. Dash and everyone else weeping for the last two minutes of the episode doesn't feel like something they'd have tried in a previous season.
  • "Horse hockey"
  • Fluttershy has some adorable chuckles this season.
  • :offendash: Come ON! You're practically twins!
    Image I'm purple.
  • I hope Ponyville was the last town that needed winterizing, since Cloudsdale's probably out of commission.
  • :gonkity: I can't bear to see Fluttershy cry!
  • I'm cryin' on the insiiiide...
There's something fishy going on with the contestants in the Running of the Leaves...

By a long shot the funniest episode so far in the season. I do not particularly care for RD, but she is golden, when she is played for laughs. She reacted with exactly the mental and emotional maturity I expected. It must be counted among the lesser miracles of the magical land of Equestria that she still holds a job in the weather service after the stunts she pulled in this episode.

And M.A. Larsen absolutely slew us with that Game of Thrones line.

Are pegasi your favorite of the 3 tribes, then?

Edit: That was meant for the doc. I didn't notice there was a Page 6 already. By the way, hope you don't mind me prying, but do you actually have a Ph.D in something or other?

I spotted the bit of green in there right away. Still, though, FiM is animated in Vancouver. You think there's any way the animators would support the Leafs? :rainbert:

Pegasi are my favorite ponies. Dash and Fluttershy are my favorites of the mane 6.

And no real Ph.D. Studying to be a pilot, which is likely the reason I like the Pegasus so much.

Truth be told, I'm a much bigger Star Trek fan. :spoiler:

Really liked this episode. Probably my favorite of the season so far. :awesomedash:

Seeing Rainbow Dash cry is so much more heart-wrenching than any of the other characters. She's constantly in a state where she does everything in her power to avoid showing weakness, and her stubbornness and strength of will are so powerful that to see her finally break down into tears was agonizing. :cry:

I got myself a pack of Skittles and cracked open a cold Mountain Dew while watching this episode. The Skittles were in RD's honor; The Mountain Dew was just because I haven't had pop in a while.

On the contrary, it was like a balm, like sweet, sweet nectar and ambrosia. Had she cried for a dead pet, it would have been much different, but Tank was only going away for a little while, and RD cried not for him, but for herself.

Her tears were remarkable by the way — usually ponies wail in full continuous arches, but Rainbow Dash was actually crying in many, regular rain-like droplets. That’s some proper weather pony training, that is. :jingo:

Not a fan of Dash, I take it.

But yeah, I didn't feel sad for her myself, as the thing she was crying over seemed to me to be pretty small fries. That's actually why I was skeptical about the plot for a while at the start, but the episode still managed to entertain nicely.

Having your friend leave for a few months is a perfectly good reason to be sad. And the saddest part to me was much like what happened with Pinkie in Baby Cakes. Pinkie, who seems impossibly happy all the time, and Dash, who never shows any signs of weakness, both reached their absolute breaking points, to the point where they did the last thing you would ever expect them to, break down and start crying. :cry:

RIP me. This episode has killed me, I am dead.

The first few episodes this season had left me rather lukewarm, but this is one of my favourite episodes, period. I was basically laughing the entire time. Even during the emotional parts someone would say something to leave me in stitches. All the jokes and references were spot on, straight up amazing. But the best part was near the end, the small conversation between Pinkie, Twilight, and AJ.

:deflated: "I'm mostly sad because you're not sad!"

:-/ "What? Me? What about Applejack?"

:rant: "Applejack cries on the inside, Twilight!"

:twasnothin: "It's true."

Fucking gold.

As was this one. Princess Twilight Sparkle’s slightly incredulous reaction and Applejack’s confession cemented that. Not to mention the succession of the ponies bursting into tears.
