I want to know how that card game works.

It's quite probable that a waterfall does have an aura detectible by those particularly gifted. Her being to gauge The Smooze's mood and come up with an appropriate relaxation technique just by looking at it is evidence enough of that.

Davyinatoga wrote:It's better than most "burnt-out hippie" tropes in media because she's surprisingly articulate. Even though she pauses every other thought with the word "like" and hardly responds at all to Discord's ugly demeanor, it's not because she's drugged herself that way, it's because she is legitimately fine with everything acting to its natural predilections, even if it means Discord being a snothead because naturally is a snothead. She's certainly not one to push self-improvement on anybody, even if they need it.

SlateSlabrock wrote:Japanese fansub of this episode went up on Nico Douga. Viewers were amused by Tree Hugger's "Could you lower your voice just a skosh?" because, in Japanese, "sukoshi" means "a little." Amusing little coincidence.
Actually, I'm not sure where that came from. Let's see...

Turns out American servicemen picked it up during the Korean War. You learn something every day.

She went through Applejack's cards in the background just to find out whether or not she would've beaten Applejack had their game continued, and then celebrated her win without any context for the viewer if they weren't paying attention to what she was doing in the background. I don't think that kind of joke would've worked with anyone else because that's exactly the kind of thing Rainbow Dash would do.
Now that's the cleverwe've come to expect from the show's staff.

I should've realized. He did sound like a squeaky version of Rainbow Dash.
