It was interesting how it was (I think) the first story that doesn't issue an Aesop to any of the mane cast (it seemed to be heading that way with more AJ vs RD interaction, but it simmers quickly and the ponies spend most of the latter half acting as Straight Men).

Oh, have this instead.

I fixed the link on my prior post.

Over a Barrel is a weak episode, but not as weak as Baby Cakes.

Never was a fan of that episode. It focused on the side characters too much, and I thought that the resolution was kinda unsatisfactory. The only part I really liked was the bit on the train at the beginning.

I admit it shifted away from the main characters too much in the later half, and the pie fight seemed a bit dumb into retrospect. It was still a decent harmless episode however. I think next time the ponies act as extras it shouldn't be against one shot characters we're likely not going to see or care about again.

I honestly don't care who gets focus in an episode so long as the episode itself still works. You could give me an episode following Snips and Snails for a day and I wouldn't care. I really can't see how who the episode focuses on would have any real affect on the quality.

I liked Baby Cakes; it was the first time I actually identified with Pinkie, thinking back to trying to keep up with my cousins when they were little.

Lurker: I actually wouldn't mind an episode with that idea.

I kind of agree, but since it was the first season, I think it was a bit too soon. Maybe that's why people weren't that big on it, they hadn't even seen all the core concepts had yet.

You know, I'm kinda odd towards Over A Barrel. When I first became a brony, that was one of my favorite episodes because of the jokes in the episode, Pinkie's song and her adorable outfit she wore, and a couple other things that I can't remember. Though I allways thought the best part {Apart from Pinkie's song} was the Train scene at the beggining.

But now I pretty much agree with JT's stance on that episode {Except that I actually like Sheriff Silver Star

}. I don't know what made me change my opinon on it either.

I don't see the mane six being out of the center of attention in the episode as a problem either. So long as its enjoyable.

@Seraphem Not at this point, no. I got to Arbu, knew exactly where it was going with that, and decided that it wasn't worth reading through the angst and misplaced blame, since the backstory half of things certainly wasn't going to contain anything enjoyable for me.

Applelight: As said it wasn't the problem per se, I like A Day in the Limelight episodes too, but it was for a very random scenario and cast that likely won't have any play in later episodes, so I can see why some might be a little off put by it.
