If we get to see Braeburn again, this episode will be awesome. I'm also hoping for some good western spoofs...maybe another Leone reference would be cool.

If there aren't at least a dozen Apple Dumpling Gang references I am going to be greatly disappointed.

What, a villain pony who's not a unicorn? :starity:

For me, Polsky episode = sloppy plotting speckled with brilliant individual character moments. I'm expecting good laughs, bolstered by the fact that I'm already laughing at the name "Troubleshoes".

I feel the same way. Every week, I get the feeling of "Wait, a new episode. All right! :) "

Looks like this is Dave Polsky's first episode this season. I hope it doesn't end up being as divisive as Daring Don't was.

The idea of a group of kids tracking down someone terrorizing an event gives me a lot of Scooby-Doo-esque vibes - I look forward to it.

:annoyed: Now to find out who you really are under that bandit outfit!
:amazed: Old Mare Lulamoon!
:roll: "Old"?! ...I mean, and I would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!

Anyway, aside from that comment about the writer, I'm still not sure what to make of this episode. This is just such a crazy premise that I'm not sure how it'll turn into something meaningful.

Either they'll do it as a straight genre spoof or it'll tie into the Cutie Map somehow. Those are my guesses.

Or it'll turn out to be a massive Scooby Doo mystery somehow.

Yeah. The closest we've gotten is seeing Applejack train for one. About time we actually get to see her compete. I expect references to that episode now.

It makes me wonder if this marks 1 year from the last rodeo. Would be neat.

I think we have a good chance of that happening, especially if the rest of the Main Six are in the episode as well.

I hope I like it better than Daring Don't :v:

And yeah It'll be interesting to see if any of the Mane 6 are there (maybe not going by the synopsis).

Polsky wrote 3.5 episodes in season 3 (Too Many Pinkie Pies, Keep Calm and Flutter On, Games Ponies Play, and the story for Spike at your Service) and 5 episodes in season 4 (Daring Don't, Rarity Takes Manhattan, Twilight Time, For Whom the Sweetie Belle Tolls, and Equestria Games). Don't write him off just because of an episode you disliked.

I certainly don't hate Polsky at all. He's a great writer who brings a lot to the show in terms of characterisation.

Not a huge fan of Daring Don't but his other S4 episodes were all pretty good in my opinion. Also enjoy his S3 episodes. And I don't know if it's right to lay "Spike at your Service" at anyone's feet since we know it was rewritten and we don't know the specifics of who did it.

Phone post: Yeah I didn't realise what other eps he'd written, I just saw the Daring Don't mention. My post was a bit tongue-in-cheek anyway. Hopefully the episode will turn out good.

Assuming Sweetie's magic is advanced enough (and they can distract Braeburn) opening those locks and busting out should be easy. :ohboy:

Well, at least that premise is somewhat more understandable now, in that it's more of a story about kids wanting to do stuff that grown-ups say not to do. I wasn't expecting Braeburn to make a proper comeback again, either. (He made a couple of brief appearances in Apple Family Reunion and in the Pinkie Pride intro, but he hasn't spoken a word since Over a Barrel.)

Braeburn looks like he sprained a leg, so maybe AJ is there to compete in his stead.

Even if Braeburn hadn't hurt himself, I wonder if Applejack would've just packed the CMC up and gone home, or (considering her overprotective nature, as seen in Somepony to Watch Over Me) if she would've done the exact same thing that he's doing.
