So what happenes when you cross Edge of Tommororw and Ground Hogs Day with MLP:FiM, you get this episode... i know mind blowing, so in this episode we have to indluge ourselves in to Applebloom and her nightmares... keep in mind that this is a CMC episode and nothing less... so time to review!

 

The Good: So in this episode we as i said earlier indulge ourselves to Applebloom, in the beginning Bloom is going to sleep and Jax's (AppleJack) sings her a nice little lullaby before she goes to sleep...

and may say that was really sweet of her to do so. On to the conflict! so as we go a sleep blissfully we see Bloom encouter general hardships of getting a cutie marks, but waking up she gets a Pest Control mark, which i question the economy and retrirement plans of the ponies, i mean why isnt there like a royal guard of ponies doing pest control, i guess archaic in this time, back to the topic at hand Bloom has to face her fears of acceptance cause y'know she says 'what if other ponies will hate me fy cutie mark'.. also on another note... (sorry Diamond Tiarra fans) I hate Tiarra she is mean as hell to the CMC, i know she is an antagonist to them but seriously... off topic

 

any way Bloom finds out that her shadow is up to this mischief and Luna explains that ponies that stress about there mark, they will be destined for this nightmare, so Bloom finds out that her friends are experince the same thing and they do an Astral Plane CMC rolecall. End (also they want to make a care package for Badseed, oops i mean BaBseed)

 

what i liked about this episode is that Luna had some actual diagloue, and she was very likable (unlike Celstia who just tells people what to do) i also liked the moral message this episode.. i thing it was trying to say 'dont let other people think you wont fit in' or something along the lines of that..

and Big Mac said something! i was overjoyed hearing that Big horse speak.. even though it was a dream/reailty illuison.

 

The Bad: Serioulsy guys i am pretty sure we had an episode similar in the previous seasons... like Scotaloo and her forest dreams or Swetie Belle and her beef with Rarity when the spotlight goes on the dresses... i mean seriously?

 

Conclusion: so this episode was really well, the opening permeire was really strong and the episodes to follow... Luna had actual purpose (which i am loving right now) and Big M had some speaking lines.. other than that the episode was genuinley likable, and i am loving Luna as favourite princess.

Nice to see you continuing your reviews. If there is one flaw I have with it, it's that due to 'strike 3' narrative it was going for and how repetitive the dreams became, even if it were going for it, the story is predictable and can bore a viewer out if they're not interested in such matters. Personally however, I prefer this episode over last week's Castle Sweet Castle as I felt the story was stronger and it took a rather big risk for how morbid the episode's dream sequences were.

 

Keep up the reviews man :D
