I get the feeling that this might be like PYHD, the town just fitting the needs of the plot.

Not that it's a bad thing (although back in the day, some people were really upset over their favorite BG ponies being assholes and blamed Merriwether for it), it's just :pinkieshrug: . Not great writing, but sometimes it just happens.

(It could also be just a good background detail and there's no serious injury bug going around.)

obviously the stuff works at first, or Granny convinces herself it does, and perhaps they'll be an opinion altering song in there somewhere as well. Basically Flim & Flam con both the Apple Family & Ponyville, or put AJ in a position where she has to help them. obviously AB will follow AJ. or something like that.

Maybe they'll pull a bait-and-switch on Ponyville, giving Granny Smith the real stuff before selling fake tonic to everyone else. Then when the fake tonic doesn't work, Flim and Flam skip town while everyone else is getting upset with Applejack for endorsing this product.

Is that supposed to be one of those frilly, old-timey bathing suits that Granny Smith is wearing?

Hence my confusion. :-I It looks funny, though, and "it's funny" is one of two always-good justifications (the other being "it's cute") for adding anything to this show.

Disappointed that they seem to be going down the con-man route for Film and Flim. That's not who they were before, and I wish they had continued to make them unique in that regard.

:vogue: We don't normally wear clothes, except when we're swimming, or going to something fancy like a party, or if you're in a city where ponies typically wearing clothes is a normal thing, oh and we also can wear saddles despite never actually being ridden by humans because they don't exist, unless there was a Planet of the Apes like takeover and the remains of human civilization are present in odd pony cultures.
:-/ This is why I'm never going to work in fashion.

I'm going with this, don't want to much chlorine getting into their fur, also, it's an old fashioned style swim-suite, and Granny Smith is old, so yeah, :v:

We start worrying when Dash is wearing a Rainbow Dash Bikini from Hot Topic. * which while very meta Would be very wrong!* :gotcha:

Yet they steal relate to the content of the episode. Not every episode name has to be a parody/reference to something.

At this point I think we're just looking for things to complain about for the sake of complaining. :-/

Surprisingly good cold open, although old timey film felt like a bit of a retread (but not terribly much).
