Wow Twilight is a failure lol. I dunno it was OK but I seriously don't see that ending as being very believable. Plus I know Twilight is capable of more, why we she portrayed in this episode of not knowing how to friendship? Weird. Fun to watch tho.

I thought it was a great episode even if it was run of the mill. Not every episode can or needs to be mind blowing. I actually like only having one or two epic episodes per season. Generally there needs to be something big happen in the middle somewhere, but otherwise I'm fine with only a season finale being the big epic. Otherwise jumping the shark becomes a real threat. Expectations get too high and inevitably viewers are disappointed more often than they should be. Season five tried too hard if you ask me. I've enjoyed the basic episodes like this one much more than the epic ones. I don't have anything against larger story arch episodes unless they feel really manufactured instead of naturally occuring.

Ha! Fun episode. I liked it alot. LOVED the Bob Ross references and the Doc and Marty references made my eyes pop out. Very appropriate for this year. Everypony was on point in terms of personality and I like that they made Spike the voice of wisdom early on. It's clear that Discord is at a pre-k level when socially interacting in an un-evil and civil way. Overall, very entertaining and kept me wondering what the moral was up to the very end, which was rushed, but not a drawback. Thumbs up.

Nice!!!!! With extra !'s for min post size.

Is this like that weird phenomenon that occurs like right when you start a new job, like all the people that work there are fun and badass but soon they start quitting one at a time, and then before you know it, you're the badass fun person to all the lame new people and it kinda sucks from then on? I hate when that happens. I love this forum so far. I have been on some drama llama snarky ass forums and some doucher I'm better than you forums and I actually really really like this one. Hope everyone stays forever.

I am like a baby brony, er, pegasister I mean. Like a lil' bronyette. I watch the show and even do little critiques each week but it's really just barely dipping a toe into the fandom, imo. I don't have much merchandise, a blind bag here n there but that's it. I would certainly buy culture tees or socks if I happen to run into it and it was cheap but I don't go out looking it. I'm big on nostalgia so I like to get a few little things. I could be a hoarder so I am careful what I buy. Still a bronyette tho.

I'd like to see Sarah Michelle Gellar or Mila Kunis to a guest spot.

Excellent episode. Lots of cute little extras as usual. Loved loved loved pinkies retro costume the most. She wasn't overly too obnoxious which is better than it has been. I didn't see the leak which hate I spoilers so I'm glad I didn't. I was really entertained. Tho I will say granny smith is pissing me off. She's getting really overbearing and acting like she doesn't give a shit about anyone's feelings lately. Overall great Halloween episode. I wanna go back and watch the other Halloween episodes now too.

When I see Luna raise the moon to eclipse then sun at the very end of pt 1, it makes me remember how awesome it is that the moon can eclipse the sun at all considering how the sun is 400 times larger than the moon. But since it's also 400 times farther away, they appear the same size in our sky. It's just one of those amazing coincidences of nature. This was actually a great episode and Discord was extremely entertaining. It has tons of little visual details that I love. With the exception Twilight being a princess at all, the story was good. Edit. Also, Twicane!

MARBS IS ADORBS. Let us all take another moment to appreciate the cuteness that is, her cuteness Marble Pie.

I would not say that the characterization of them is offensive, that they're similar to Amish. That's perfectly fine. What I would say could be offensive (to the Amish, if in fact they were intended to appear Amish, or really any fundamentalist or "old fashioned" or even just religious family) is the fact that their lifestyle and traditions were portrayed as being boring, disappointing, unacceptable, and in dire need of transformation.

So maybe this is stating the obvious and perhaps it has already been noted somewhere on the boards. But does anyone think the name Maud Pie was purposely chosen because it is so close to sounding like mud pie? And mud pies obviously come from playing in the dirt with rocks, etc? That has always struck me as an interesting choice of name considering the family background.

Man I'm just taken by her! What is so stinking cute, I can't pinpoint it. She's got "it" whatever it is that mesmerizes, the same thing Flutters has. She's cute as a button. Her mane and tail are similar to Pinkie's pre-cutie mark mane and tail, no? Also, I'm a squirrel rank now woo!

I call Pinkie Pie Pinkalicious. I dunno it kinda rolls off the tongue I guess. I call Fluttershy Flutters too.

I liked limestone's passion for her farm. I think the specific color chosen for her eyes (to match her lime color cutie) came off as having a sinister look, like the eyes of a dragon or lizard type creature. Sort of contributed to her overall negative nature in the majority of this episode.

PINKIE! will always be number 1 in my book. Then Maud and then Marble.

The episode was eh. I was completely caught by surprise and put off by the holiday episode right here before Halloween. I like the suggestion of saving it for Christmas time and watching it then. Maybe discovery will replay it during that time. I didn't care for the premise at all. I think it could be offensive to families who might identify in any small way with the pie family. To me, granny smith was making fun of them to their faces in a couple of scenes. I personally don't like it when one type of family or identity is portrayed as being sub-par. The pie family's traditions were clearly made drab, boring, and unacceptable which using that as a way to insult a fundamentalist type of identity (which is generally considered religious) is just a cheap shot. Even if the moral is that the Apples were in the wrong, it doesn't matter, the damage is already done. I think the writers should rise above that and have come up with better premise. Applejack certainly should have been ashamed and so should Hasbro and the writers. And the climax at the end having to do with the boulder seemed oddly placed and forced as the quick resolution of a new shared tradition. Also, limestone pie was gilda's voice which drove me nuts. I do think Marble pie was adorable and I also don't want to see kissing cousins but I know it is absolutely inevitable. Ready for the next episode, this one was forgettable.

I was so happy to see the mane 6 back together finally after weeks and weeks of specialty episodes! I missed them interacting together. I love how their color palettes compliment each other, so that when they're in a scene together it looks so polished. I miss episodes like today's where it is a normal everyday challenge. They all did great!

I was soooo happy to see her in today's episode. Pinkies my favorite but it was Fluttershy who drew me into the show. I missed her!
