Hello I am MrRiderman and this is according to me, today I will be looking at Bats! Now this episode is good, but this review/analysis was sort of hard to write. I don't know why, but the little things just seem to turn into rants. So I will try my best to stay on topic, and not go on any mini rants.

Alright so we start out with AJ bucking some apples, only to find out they were pretty much sucked dry. So she calls together the other main 5, and states that her farm is in danger because the vampire fruit bats are eating all of the apples. So AJ wants them gone because the bats are going to cause a lot less apple to be produced. She is also scared they will eat giant blue ribbon wining apple. However Fluttershy says she can tried and stop the bats. She fails and gets apple seeds all over her. AJ is now feed up with the bats, and decide they have to go.

Which leads into a song that sounds like it was made by Danny Elfman. Yet at the same time this is also where the lines are drawn for some people. What with the other main 5 gaining up on flutters, after she said why she thinks the bats should stay. Now this very out of character for them, however after the song they just turn back to their normal. Flutters also then agrees with them do to peer pressure, however something still the song bugged me.

That is until I found I very interesting theory. This theory basically says that the part about the 5 being all rude and big bad bullies is all in flutter's head. Which makes when you think about it because when they switch between AJ's and Flutter's view of the bats it changes the aesthetics of the scene, which is obvious symbolism. So since Flutter is very sensitive and such, when nobody takes sides with her it might come off to her as them gaining up on her. This also explains why the others are back in character the moment the song ends cause they never were, that was just how Flutters saw the whole thing.

So next thing they are gathering up all the bats, so Flutters can use the stare on them and Twilight can brainwash them not to eat any apples. Which stops the Vampire fruit bats from eating apples, however they still are fruit bats. Now they probably went to eat something else, and do the same thing they did with the apples. This will not get rid of the way the bats act, instead the bats will just go to another pony and eat all of their fruits. That is not solving a problem, it just putting the problem somewhere else.

So yeah as it turns out, that somehow caused the the desire to be a fruit bat into Flutters. Which means instead of fruit bats, AJ has Flutterbat to worry about. However right now she doesn't care about anything as a long as she gets her friend back. Well that all peachy keen, and they use AJ's giant apple to make sure Flutterbat comes into their trap. Where they somehow get her to use the stare on herself, even though it something only Flutters herself can do at will.

We then end with the lesson being monologue-d, and a zoom into to show that Flutters still has her fangs. Alright so what I did think of this episode, well the song was good and it was very interesting premise. Some people might hate on the conflict because of politics and the like. However truth be told I not much of a politics kind of guy, so I don't think I should get into anything unless I have some experience with that. So this episode gets my Tetris out of 100. This has been MrRIderman signing out and remember that lamps make good weapons.
