S02:E17 - Hearts and Hooves day

[Radiance64 7,053]

I actually agree with this one. I don't understand why a lot of people hated on the Mare Do Well episode, Look Before You Sleep, Pinkie Keen, or Baby Cakes. But The Cutie Pox just... didn't do it for me. I thought the episode was going to be hilarious but I probably only laughed a couple times. But that's just me... At any rate, seeing those pictures is actually making me really excited for the next episode. I kinda hope that Cheerilee and Big Mac stay as a couple, because otherwise I would find this episode to be anti-climactic and a bit cliche, especially with the love potion thing. But yeah, I don't normally like shipping, but... when I do, I really like it.

Me neither, I really enjoyed those episodes. Oh yeah, and I'm sure I'll like this new episode too(desperate attempt to get back on topic)!

[Akemi Homura 7,680]

Oh yeah, you can always expect the CMC to go and do something absolutely crazy on valentine's day.

[GrooveBroove 680]

I on the other hand regard Mare Do Well and Feeling Pinkie Keen are the weakest episodes, whereas I greatly enjoyed Look Before You Sleep.

Obviously opinions vary and I have no reservations on the quality for how Cherrimac will turn out in the end.

 

Me personally my least favorite episode has been

Whichever one where applebloom gets the cutie pox.

[Strafe 594]

lol How exactly did the CMC get Big Mac to fall in love?

Episode 17, Hearts and Hooves Day, seems to have now made Cheerilee x Big Macintosh a canon relationship! Discuss the episode here.

As episode 17 has been released a little on the early side, a discussion thread has been opened up in advance too.

 

As a common courtesy to other members who have no yet seen the episode, please constrain all episode related discussion to this thread ONLY.

 

For those of you who are choosing to wait for your pony fix this Saturday, feel free to continue speculating.

[Shankveld 4,949]

I loved it!

Very cute made me smile

loved the new song,

yay Sweetie Belle singing

Can't wait to watch this on Saturday again with my very special somepony ^.^ ~

[The Milkman 186]

Couldn't watch it yet I wanna see it.

[SrFrog 927]

Yes, this episode was full of charm.

[Queen Cassie 3,057]

So, I managed to get a copy off of iTunes before it was removed, and have since watched it. It was...rather funny, but it also felt like it was lacking something...or maybe it's just my mood right now. Hard to say.

 

Anyway, it proceeded more or less how I expected it would go. The CMC's tried to get Big Mac and Cheerilee together, failed initially, hooked them with a love potion snatched out of Twilight's book(rather than involving Zecora, for some reason) and the results were...atrocious. The way in which Big Mac and Cheerilee regarded each other was abysmal, which was the intent. There's disgustingly cute and then there's just disgusting. This was just disgusting.

 

Also a completely unexpected song! My only beef with the song is that whomever was singing for Sweetie Belle did NOT sound like her all that much...I don't know why they didn't just have their regular voice actress for Sweetie Belle sing, but that's what they did. Said song also had some INTRIGUING displays throughout it.

 

For example, we saw not one but SEVERAL arcade video game systems. That's just plain undeniable. They have computer systems of at least mid eighties in order to have things like that around. That's just plain crazy! It completely throws off my perception of Equestrian technology, more so than even Read It and Weep did.

 

We also saw a funeral being performed, which I thought was kind of odd...why show that sort of circumstance of all things?

 

Also during that song, we saw what might have been an automobile, that ambulance. Granted it could just be pony-pulled, but it looked too much like the back of a truck.

 

Where were Rarity and Pinkie Pie at Carosel Boutique and Sugarcube Corner respectively? I suppose Pinkie could have been out and about, but Rarity gone from her shop? Seems rather odd...unless this was her spa day and that's where she was. (Or maybe she was on her own Hearts and Hooves day date?)

 

The end of the episode also has me confused. Was it just Big Mac and Cheerilee messing with the CMCs, or are Cheerilee and Big Mac together for good now? If so, what does that mean for the fandom?

I also though they would add Zecora

they were just pulling a prank that is why they wink,

I also was hoping for Rarity at the Boutique, I mean she is the one that would make the dress sale?

Applebloom's va does the singing for SweetieBelle

where was the funeral o.o? ~

Are you sure that's Michelle Creber doing the singing for that scene? Because it didn't quite sound like that was her.

 

As for the funeral, it's during the song, when Sweetie Belle hops up onto the elderly pony and declares him to be too old.

[SrFrog 927]

I actually Didn't notice the funeral till you guys pointed it.

[Mister Jack 566]

I don't know what's more depressing, the funeral or the forever alone filly.

[Doodle Bug 2]

I'm not sure if I wanna watch it or wait.

[Vicke 3,189]

Haha, great episode.

I loved the part where Applebloom tried to stop BigMac by putting the bulls and the anvils againgst him.

 

Great episode.

[Keypassion 232]

I laughed so hard at Big Macintosh calling Cheerilee "cutesy" pet names.

I was rolling on the floor with tears streaming down my face.

[SuchAFoal 0]

The reactionfaces on the CMC were just brilliant, and I am actually glad that they posted the episode early. I'm going to watch it on Saturday just to enjoy teh lulz again

[Jeremy 128]

No wonder Bon Bon has a different voice every time she talks. She's using clones of herself to date other ponies behind Lyra's back! *see back corners*

Oh yeah and Derpy and Dr. Hooves are both on the bridge there.

[BigMacintosh 7]

IT WAS THE BEST EPISODE EVER 5 STARS *****

One of the cutest big macintosh faces EVER.

[Kodiak 431]

Huh, so that was what EQD was going on about. I'm not going to read this thread until Saturday morning, but that's for letting us know what was going on with the leak

I liked it.

The CMC (when it's all of them) are always good episodes.
