Hey, guys, and welcome to my episode review! Today, I will be talking about the latest episode of MLP, "Bloom and Gloom". So, the first CMC character centered episode? Cant wait to see how this turns out. SPOILERS WILL ENSUE! Alright guys, grab a bottle of Moxie Soda and a package of Ding Dongs, and get ready for my review of this episode!

So, we start out in the CMC Clubhouse, and the animators show off the animation with a new, glossy feel. Inside the clubhouse, Applebloom reveals that she has recently recieved a letter from Babs Seed (CMC Manehatten Chapter). The letter states that Babs has recieved her Cutie Mark in..... cutting. THat didnt sound right at first, I hate to admit. But a second later, it is revealed that she meant as a hair styalist. Which of course makes sense, considering how often she fiddled with her hair "One Bad Apple". Nonetheless, this makes the CMC think of something: what if they got a cutie mark they didnt like? THis question hit Applebloom especially hard, as she goes into a paranoid frenzy wondering on what would happen if she got a Cutie Mark she didnt like. This is actually a legit and mature thing that she is worrying over, and we in the audience have simpathy for her.

After the title sequence, We see Applejack comforting her and trying to put her fears to rest. This is just a small gimick, but I can say that, based on all of Appleblooms questions, she would make a good Philosepher. However, some of the questions she asks will be relevant later. The questions are: What if I get a Cutie Mark I dont like, what if the CMC break apart, and what if her family rejects her? Anyway, she closes her eyes for second, and everyone knows what that means......

CUE THE DREAM SEQUENCE!

Ok, it wasnt as obvious as it was during "Look Before you Sleep", but I digress. Anyway, Applebloom wakes up to an alarming discovery. She got her Cutie mark! And she got it in...... Pesticides. That is the first thing I thought when I saw her Cutie mark. Did anyone else think that? No..... just me? Drat.

Anyway, it turns out she is meant to be an exterminator Pony. And the previous exterminator tells her about a certain kind of bug that, if not controlled, could literally cause the apocolypse. And now it is Appleblooms job to take care of it. And with that, he retires, seemingly leaving the fate of Equestria in Appleblooms hoofs. She is good at her job, but she isnt to fond of it. This causes her to run (After some Diamond Tiara time), where she runs into a pony that says he can remove her cutie mark for her. She accepts, and CAUSES THE APOCOLYPSE!

She wakes up and find out she has another cutie mark, this time as a potion maker. I know its a dream, but the POTION MAKING CUTIE MARK SHOULD BE HER ACTUAL CUTIE MARK! She is perfect for it. So, she goes and shows off her Cutie Mark to Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, who dont take it all that well. It leads to an actually depressing scene where her friends reject her, and the CMC dissolve. But not before the mysterious shadow pony from the previous dream shows up and asks Applebloom if she wants her Cutie AMrk removed. This still dissolves the CMC, as Sweetie and Scootaloo get there marks, and say that they are too busy for Applebloom. THen, the final dream sequence happens, which would be the fear of family rejection. Her Cutie Mark this time is..... Paleos Cutie mark..... second time we are seeing that dolphin. And, since it isnt an apple, her family.... kicks her from the family. Harsh.

Once again, Applebloom encounters the mysterious dream pony again. Then, big surprise, LUNA SHOWS UP! Luna reveals that the shadow pony was merely her shadow, and she was creating her own nightmares. Huh, clever of our dear writers.

And thus ends the CMC Dream trilogy! And what a great way to end it. There wasnt that much humor in the episode, but if there was humor, it was subtle and funny. And I am glad that the writers took a subtle humor route. It really played in well with the episode. On top of that, good moral, and overall an amazing episode. Season 5 is off on a great note! No bad episodes yet..... yet.
