God I love the sound of their ridiculous 19th century barker voices arguing.

Smug Fluttershy is probably my favorite thing about Season 6 :fluttersmirk:

Wow, somepony actually manipulating friendship in order to improve his business! This is turning out more complex then I thought they would go...

Seriously, this so so jam packed in every frame. New designs and old all appearing in the back! I saw Svengallop in the cafe, and the Whinnyapolis couple a few times. :ponydrugs: This is so good, this is so good.

Good luck trying to keep the truth from Fluttershy.

She knows all.

Also all her practice dealing with Discord has prepared her for this ultimate test: Using Flim and Flam.

For me the best background gag was the pony drinking from the fancy fountain.

Good episode, good twist, good backgrounds, good background ponies, good resolution.
For so much going on it was a nicely tightly written episode.

Literally only downside.

My one horribly unrealistic hope for this episode was that it would've made a joke about Unicon bits or Unicon itself. But yeah, this was way cool regardless.

And unlike that episode, it actually has a coherent story instead of a few shreds of stories pasted together.

Good episode. I like it when the Mane 6 do some worldbuilding and visit places other than Canterlot or the Crystal Empire.

Fluttershy was pretty good in this one, I like how she's been more confident in this season overall. :allears:

I liked Flim and Flam as well. They were pretty funny when they were arguing back and forth.

Siegfield and Roy ponies :-P

I kind of saw the intercom trick coming in the office, but AJ and Fluttershy still hustled Gladmane good. :bluh:

I went into this one totally blind (other than knowing the title) and was pleasantly surprised to hear Flim and Flam. The animation crew must've had a great time designing all the new background ponies. I like the orange director pony and that one background pegasus with the crazy Cloud Strife hair. This one'll be a lot of fun to rewatch just to look at everything going on in the background.

With the size of Las Pegaus this could had been a great split 2 part.

I don't think this story would've done well if it were dragged out to 44 minutes (in fact, it was packed enough to where Applejack and Fluttershy went to Las Pegasus in a jump-cut in the cold open, whereas most other map episodes have at least a whole scene for travel), but we might get another episode set in this city.

I'm glad Flim and Flam still aren't "good" they just used their powers for good and immediately inserted themselves into the previous antagonist's role, which is one of my favorite tropes.

:excite: So girls, did your mission go well?

:hilarious: Sure did. We put a con man out of business.

:wingsright: That's great. I knew you could do it.

:fear: We also might have totally ruined the city's tourism industry by getting all the popular entertainment acts to leave...

:-I

:bluh: And there are now two con-men in charge of the city instead of just one.

The map is only concerned with friendship problems, it cares not for the economy or business ethics.

That's Celestia's problem, but she won't do anything because she has her hoof in every pie.

The map only called AJ and Fluttershy because Gladmane was ruining friendships in his quest for power. If he hadn't done that it would have just let him go along his merry way.
