This raises an important question: why would Apple Bloom be pulling an entire cart full of pies to Zecora? Surely they aren't some sort of insane potion ingredient.

Overhyping this just a tad. AB kinda bumbles around too much to make it epic in this particular snippet.

The agree the atmosphere is very good, but it takes more than that.

That was my point. It was visually stunning, likely done for the humorous juxtaposition between that and Apple Bloom being Apple Bloom.

This seems to be fairly late into the ep, as has been the case sometimes lately. So leave now until tomorrow if wanted...

Chimera get


The way it appeared, this was the first thing that popped to my mind:


A Chimera draws near!

Honestly, the show needs more of its characters being completely unfazed by crazy fantasy shit. Flaming swamps and giant three-headed monsters must be daily stuff for them.

And that chimera snakehead gets even scarier as it's about to eat Apple Bloom's face.

Come on guys, this is My Little Pony, there's something like a 50% chance the Chimera is kind and playful.

I wish they'd stop releasing spoiler videos. I like watching the cold open or an early scene, but showing the climax of an episode like in Simple Ways or this one seems like a bit too much :ohrarity: (I haven't seen this one, but the discussion is enough to let me know AJ was right to be worried).

Oh well. Pony isn't really about the story anyway :-P

I don't know. Given that Applejack seems to think her sister is as fragile as a snowflake, if that scene were what she was imagining then there's no way Apple Bloom would be that calm.

Aaaauuugh I love love love it when MLP introduces fantastical and dangerous creatures into the show and then makes them adorable!
I remember playing the Witcher a bit after I first started watching. The game's chock full of weird mythological monsters that were new to me, but when a Cockatrice was mentioned I was all "eeeeee I know what that is! Because of a little girls' cartoon! :awesomedash: "

I had this same sort of feeling towards this show when I first started watching. Gilda's introduction in Griffon the Brush-Off really impressed me since I wasn't expecting FiM to make such semi-obscure fantasy references. The same goes for the hydra in Feeling Pinkie Keen and yes, that cockatrice in Stare Master.

Pretty damn stoked for this episode.

Clips look really good, premise seems alright, and aw yeah applebloom. :anticipation:


Btw, when people were wondering how a pie delivery could be dangerous, my instant thoughts were "don't you remember what they did with those in Over the Barrel?" :-P

Throwing a pie at high speed is an interesting definition of "delivery." :ponder:

The minute I saw the shadows in the end of the cold open, I knew what was going to happen, and it looks like the other Apples did, too. :-P
