I'm not given to hyperbole, but this is going to be the greatest episode of all time.

Shamelessly quoting myself from the spoiler thread, because I still want this to be true:

I want that to be true more than you want that to be true.

Alternatively, AJ would be done in Samurai Jack style.

That'd be nice, but I hope the episode doesn't burn too much time recounting the same events just for the sake of doing it in a different animation style (and that's coming from me, someone who cares about the show's art perhaps a bit more than average). I can't help but be reminded of MMMMystery on the Friendship Express and how much time it used on Pinkie's wild accusations of who ate the cake.

Suddenly I feel like enough time has passed since I actually watched the Simpsons that I could start watching it again now from the beginning and it would qualify as a nostalgia-rewatch of a show from my childhood.

You know what I just realized? It has been a while since we had episode where the friendship problem was among the mane six themselves. How long ago did we have an episode where they fight each other like this?

Does that really count as an in-fight, tough? There were a lot of in-fights in season one I can think of. From there they started to become scarce.

Well Dash was putting bricks in ponies sandwiches and the other Mane 5 decide the only way to teach her a lesson was to fake a zombie outbreak.

So seems at least kinda serious.

Can't go left, can't go right, just climb up over the train instead.

I was liking this episode well enough - classic plot formula, but a goodie - but that bunyip? What a convenience copout that was. :-/

Great episode, I theorised during the first act that they were on a lake cruise and not out in the sea, I was mostly correct, given they only made it a short distance form the docks.

Also, a bunyip! Not what I expected the show to ever include. Neat.

I was thinking that the "how did you get rescued" question was going to lead to how they worked together to save themselves or something, leading to the moral.

Turns out, they were just close to the dock :v:

What a great episode. I love when shows do "different points of view" eps, and Pony didn't let me down.

I loved AJ as a sea salt in Rarity's story, and overall in the whole episode. Pinkie was funny as always, too. :-P

The ending felt a bit fast to me, but it was nice to see another creature. Worldbuilding and all. I'd like to see the Mane 6 go on a real sea adventure though. :bluh:

It's unfortunate Fluttershy and Dash weren't there, it would have been interesting to get thier perspective.

A good change of pace episode, 9/10.

Wellol I correctly guessed the sandwiches had something to do with it since they kept focusing on the fact they went overboard.

Overall a pretty meh episode.

Important details like that tend to get left out of personal accounts frustratingly often, I've found.

Do you feel it was more of a copout than what we got with the original stories? That is to say, a storm? A storm could've explained these events just as well. A gust of wind could've blown one of the sandwiches off the deck, which Applejack and Pinkie Pie could've then remembered as Rarity tossing it away for some petty reason. And then that gust would've come ahead of the storm which capsized their ship tiny sailboat. What we got was more interesting than a mundane storm, I think.

I completely agree that.
In my opinion today's episode was slightly better than MMMystery on the Friendship Express.

Bunyip was cool. I think this was a pretty solid episode, especially from one of the new writing teams this season who've struggled with spicing up their stories.

I think if there's anything to be disappointed about, it's just that a season 4/5 episode with this concept would've checked off my props bingo card square for Pinkie Pie's story.

Mmmmystery had a worse story but was honestly more entertaining to watch, at least the different scenes inside Pinkie's mind. This episode was just the same story told slightly different ways but not enough to really make up for having to sit through the same story three times.

Also yeah the sea monster is kind of a cop-out but that's not my problem with it. My problem is it had an ugly design.

So yeah I don't think either of those two episodes are strictly better than each other. This was just a meh-tier pony episode. Not bad, just not something I'd watch again.

Something I noticed. Early in the episode, Twilight mentioned that Rainbow and Fluttershy went to the Flight Camp Reunion, which is something that happened in the comic book. Granted, that probably wasn't a specific reference, but it's fun to imagine that the comic book story happened the same time as this episode.

This episode was okay :pinkieshrug: , even though I do love an episode in a TV show where the characters are trying to explain what happened from their point of view and it leads to hilarious results! LMAO! :gotcha: overall it wasn't as bad, hopefully the next episode will be even better! :awesomedash:
