Re: S06E04: On Your Marks
The Doctor wrote:OK episode. I liked the ending a lot, but Applebloom was made really, really stupid to get there. She's done plenty of stuff without the other 2 before. They even say right in the episode that she enjoys making potions.
I think the point they were trying to make was that Applebloom needs the company of other ponies her own age. Yes, she could go hang out at the library or with Zecora, but that's not a very active social life. She equates that with CMCing because that's how she's spent her whole adolescence.
She really must have been in a deep funk, though, to have a boy her age basically shout, "I sure wish SOMEONE could help me GET MY CUTIE MARK!" and ignore him.
