You know whos job this is?

 

This time, they can't ignore best snek doctor.

[GrimGrimoire 4,973]

Really looking forward to this one. It has all the premise of being an episode I can really get into. Reminds me of the comic plot with the disease running rampant Zecora starred in.

I have a YUUUUUUUGE feeling it's a Legends episode.

1. There's a theory of the ReMane Six being associated with the Legends in some way, either as reincarnations or heirs.
2. If you look at some of the Legends covers, Meadowbrook's eyes look a lot like Fluttershy's.
3. Meadowbrook is described as a healer. This episode has to do with Fluttershy trying to heal Zecora from an incurable disease.

Is it just me, or does he/you look like a Snekpone version of Cat Noir?

Another episode with Zecora in it? Season 7 might just be my new favourite Season now.

Since we already got an IDW comic out using this episode as its bedrock, we also can be pretty assured that its going to have someone named

Cat tail as a character who fluttershy goes to for Meadowbrook info

 

[Hierok 11,833]

Not seen Zecora as main character in like 2 seasons and then 2 episode after each other. 

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,165]

Looks like this is the promo; looks interesting!

I wonder what kind of plant that is. Not the poison joke right?

Doubt it. Poison jokes play tricks on those who touch it and require a soapy bath to fix it. This plant's "sneeze" seemed to cause a devastating sickness to Zecora; a soapy bath won't fix it.

You're right, but it would be a fun call back. I hope they at least will mention it. 

[Crystal Peppermint 1,109]

Episode is leaked again in russian.

удачи

 

[Dark Qiviut 22,613]

@Crystal Peppermint

Someone subbed it.

Spoiler

So far, I caught two issues:

1. The stakes feel very downplayed. Swamp fever is, apparently, a devastating, incurable disease. Zecora's life is in danger, yet they tone it down.
2. Exposition. A lot of it. Feels like more than usual.

 

[Buttonmash1973 1,026]

That was another great Zecora episode.

Talked with @King Clark and @Jeric separately about the episode, and told them about a major continuity error here:

Quote

Twilight Sparkle: Something odd about that staff. I haven't studied Eastern unicorns as much as I should have, but I'm pretty sure Meadowbrook only had eight magical items, not nine. And I don't remember any of them being a staff.

Twilight in TCM2 described Meadowbrook here as an Eastern Unicorn. Yet, she's an Earth Pony here.

That could affect the rest of the Legends arc this season, especially the finale.

 

[Jeric 46,886]

Saw it and in general I liked this one, especially the moral and Fluttershy's general drive to help Zecora. Also a few cute moments. I'm going to hold off on a real breakdown until I see it with the regular VA's. 

The Meadowbrook thing was an odd mistake. If it was an intentional change ... It was unwarranted from what I can tell. They also had a missed opportunity for a joke about Twilight's trust in books because it could have just been revealed that the book was wrong about that.

Eh, I doubt it, I figure the staff will just try to pedal past it quickly and hope as few people notice as possible; otherwise

Twilight would have probably called attention to it it when fluttershy linked "the mysterious mask" and meadowbrook as being the same pony in today's episode

 

 

on that note, great episode today. Really loved how strong willed and determined they portrayed fluttershy.

@Dark Qiviut

Moved this considering the episode has been leaked...again this season. :/

Okay I guess that video shouldn't get taken down anytime soon!  

[Ganondox 899]

Has there been any English dubs based on the subtitles made yet? That would be hilarious. 

[Batbrony 16,087]

Good morning everypony!  Very excited for yet another episode featuring Zecora, and two in a row at that, what luck!  While last week's episode was very good in its own right, I'm really hoping that this morning's episode proves to be truly exceptional, and based on some early word of mouth I've heard from friends, it sounds like it's just that indeed! 

[PoisonClaw 8,175]

Time for a double dosage of Zecora! Who else is excited?
