Perpetual Lurker wrote:Man, what is it with this season and great one-shot characters? Like, if Sea Breeze wasn't a tiny squeaky Swedish fairy horse, he'd probably be one of the most mature and realistic characters the show has given us so far. He's surrounded by people that get on his nerves, and their procrastination almost destroys his chance to get home and return to his wife and child. Despite him learning about kindness, his anger and harshness was completely understandable given the situation, as was his attempt to get home alone despite the great risk to his life.
Also, I somehow doubt the breezified Mane Six were that much of a toy tie-in. Compared to their natural forms, I can't quite understand why Hasbro would think kids would find them appealing. (At least the EqG characters were ostensibly human. Pity that movie completely poisoned the well as far as this episode's transformation went...)
The breezies were cute (who else was reminded of Smurfs?),

Fizzbuzz wrote:Is it that hard to think that they'd want to be with Fluttershy? Her kindness, and a life of apparent luxury in Equestria, versus Sea Breeze berating and heckling them all the way back to their (plain, by their standards) home... I can understand it.

Supersonic Shine wrote:Oh wow, he was one of the previous voices for Sonic the Hedgehog. It's kind of funny, seeing that Sea Breeze is kind of a hard-ass, while Sonic's famous for his free-wheeling attitude.
Wonkadoo wrote:I think the big problem was the stuff in Fluttershy's cottage. Time needed to pass because that's what the plot required, but the episode didn't have anything in particular to happen during that time.
Discord wrote:And they did explain that they didn't have enough Breezies to handle the strong breeze in the dialogue. But that wasn't the most convincing of explanations to make that transformation necessary, so it was still kind of weird.
Mechanical Ape wrote:The solution I thought they were building toward was to replace one of the pegasi with the more gently-wingpowered Fluttershy, so that once again in this episode (and in kind of a reversal of Hurricane Fluttershy) her delicateness lets her accomplish a task that most ponies can't.
Ransom wrote:I actually thought the transformation bit helped make up for what was, for lack of a better term, a 'boring' episode for me. It was a simple, gentle little tale (I think my wife would like this episode) of letting go and not pampering, with some light humor, cute creatures and a Scandinavian Breezie![]()
fenster wrote:Even so, it still felt like a good episode. Not one of the best Like Filli Vanilli, but still nice and cute and didn't go with a super typical lesson for Fluttershy which is nice.

Fluttershy was definitely why this episode is a standout for me. I love what they're doing with her character this season, and how the writers are showcasing how her character development has changed her. This season has also shown spectacular writing for the key giving characters (Cheese Sandwich, Coco Pommel, The Wonderbolts), and Sea Breeze is no expectation. He was very maturely written and I like how it was implied that the reason he was so distraught by the rest of the Breezies was because he wanted to get back to his family, and he even ran away to get back to them, which was insanely adorable.
Fizzbuzz wrote:That's about where I am. It's like A Bird in the Hoof. Not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Fluttershy episodes, but still good and largely underrated.
She'd never do that to her number one assistant. I mean, what if something went wrong and she actually had to serve and wait on Spike until he recovered?
But really, if they ever did do a "Spike turns into a pony" episode, that would make for a good story (kind of a mashup of Dragon Quest and Simple Ways). It'd just be hard to justify in-universe.

Really excited to see it. Sounds like an episode I will adore.

And the fake Swedish accents were an interesting twist on the standard little-creatures-talking-in-sped-up-voices schtick. Was it just me, or did Rarity take one on when she turned into a Breezy? When in Rome, I guess.
