That Airplane reference was amazing.

This song is really catchy. Maybe not as good as their last song, but it's cool.

It looks like that Woody Allen Pony is going to have a big role here. :allears:

Anyone notice that the pacing is a bit different, at least in the first act?

So fairly obviously Silver Shill here is going to be giving AJ her key, once he tells the truth about the tonic.

Right?

So far the biggest laugh I've gotten from this episode was the Hub promo with the kid sliding the muffin away from her mom who couldn't stop texting. I dunno. I'm just not feeling this one yet.

Yeah, I was expecting AJ's detective streak to last longer than one scene. Removing any dramatic irony from the scenario makes for a great character conflict. :allears:

Applebloom's little background nods are adorable.

Also, I love that the Flim Flam brothers are putting Applejack on all the signs.

Wow...that really is some nice swimming effects.

Besides the last minute of Silver Shell delivering a bunch of exposition suddenly because the episode was running out of time, that was pretty good.

Aww, that was fun. Pretty low-key (no pun intended), but a fun little outing nonetheless. Flim & Flam are always a treat to see, their song was hella catchy, and I really liked Silver Shill.

Those expressions that Flim and Flam had when they were leaving the crowd is hilarious.

Also, that was a great episode. Great songs, great humour and interesting characterisation and

Alright episode. I liked all the AJ stuff, but am disappointed that they turned Flim and Flam into con men. These two were certainty guilty of shrewd business practices, but they were not con men in SSCS6000.

My only gripe with the episode was that Silver Shill didn't get the development or focus that the other key-givers did, but given that the episode had to fit Apple Bloom and Granny Smith in prominent roles, I'm overall fine with it. It's a pretty cool episode.

Also, I find it hilarious that AJ's key is literally cold, hard cash. :gotcha:

The thing about Flim and Flam is that they're out to make money in whatever way works best at the moment. Sometimes it's easiest to make money selling a genuinely good product, but sometimes it's easiest to scam people. That's why they were so willing to turn off the QC on the SSCS6K. It was the most profitable course of action.

Really, now? To me that felt like an apology, not an exposition dump. Maybe they had to reiterate the scam just for the very youngest viewers, but this didn't feel like S3's troubles in the pacing department.


Anyway, going into this I really wasn't sure what to think of this episode, but I really enjoyed what we got. Plenty of feeling and drama like last week, spiced up with Granny Smith's funny stuff and another rad song from Flim and Flam.

Funniest thing in the episode to me :smirk: Actually, I hope the fandom latches onto 'overly critical' as Lyra's new personality trait. Obsessed with humans is old hat.

Yeah, run of the mill I suppose, though put me down as one that is quite alright with Flim and Flam remaining charlatans for future hijinks, since I know lots of people were calling for them to reform.

I'm going to have to go back through, but I think I might have a problem with AJ admitting that she lied about the tonic. I don't think she ever really did. She told Applebloom it didn't matter, as long as it was helping Granny- that's as close to dishonesty as she got.

I need to think about this a bit more, though.

We knew this was AJ's key episode, and it went pretty well. I like how they've been giving Big Mac more to do this season, and again in this episode. Great job of trolling Granny in the cold opening, you'd never think it of him. :eeyup:

I think that's the first time I've seen him without his yoke as well.

And a Derpy sighting at the swim meet.
