Fizzbuzz wrote:It was good enough, I guess. As I worried earlier, Coco Pommel really didn't do much of interest. It was at least nice that she cared so much about her neighborhood that she wanted to spearhead the return of neighborhood theater, but... eh. At least it provided an insight into how it's hard to get people interested in volunteer stuff like this. Seeing more of Manehattan is nice, too.
I have to wonder where the season is going to go with Twilight's increasing boredom. Back in The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone, she was mildly unhappy about not getting to go on that trip with Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash, and she was even more visibly bummed out here. If there's a later episode where she and Fluttershy will be going somewhere, maybe there'll be a clash between her growing wanderlust and Fluttershy's cautiousness.

Wayoshi wrote:You know what didn't work? How was Applejack's contribution "small" when we barely saw what it was? It seemed like building a stage on the street on the fly wasn't very small at all. Nonetheless, how it was built was literally not shown.

What's pantophobia?
The fear of everything.
That's it.
Fizzbuzz wrote:If the show wanted to do that lesson then I think she would've come along here, since that could've better shown that fixing things (the park, in this case) doesn't necessarily fix problems in society. Whereas, if she and Fluttershy are the only two to go elsewhere and Fluttershy has to do all the real work in the end... well, then it'd mostly just look like Fluttershy had to do all the work herself.

We've seen a number of ponies on a stage, but this is the first time we've seen a taped over cutie mark.

fenster wrote:Huh, honestly not sure what to make of this episode. For some reaosn, it never felt like it built much tension? Maybe it'll be different on a rewatch but it just never felt like the episode ever hit any High-Highs oddly enough. Everything was super cute as usual and the buildup was okay at least.
SlateSlabrock wrote:Agreed. She was mostly sidelined in season 4, and here they seem to be actively pushing the idea that she's chained to the castle and never gets to go have fun anymore. I can't imagine that they want to turn her into Celestia, so why?
