[up] The train made me very, very happy.

It adds cannon backing to my story. And I like trains.

But no puller ponies? Hmmm...odd.

Also, did Dash really perform an actual Sonic Rainboom there?

I know. Which bugs me, since I always thought AJ was supposed to be the strength and RD was the speed.

The Tactical Rainboom was speed. She wasn't using muscle to blow up the barn, she was just crashing into it at the highest velocity she could go. For the most part, she wasn't punching the barn, she was flying into it at high speeds. She can weather the forces from mach speeds, so she was appropriate for living artillery.

Applejack probably could have just kicked the thing apart herself without needing to do all that, but it was quicker to use Rainbow for it.

[up] It had one of those blast-wavey Saturn rings that are so popular lately, so I'm saying yes.

By the way, has Dash ever had those multicolored smoke clouds trailing her when she takes off/lands before?

No. I guess it's part of the new style.

By the way, how did the Mayor manage to get the doll from Big Mac when he was on top of a pile of ponies? Did she learn offscreen levitation skills from Pinkie Pie?

Considering that we puny humans can do the same in real life, I've no doubt that AJ could have bucked the barn to bits no problem. But RD can do it faster.

Maybe AJ's saving her energy for the clearing of the debris?

I liked the episode better when I watched it a second time. As for Dash vs Applejack destroying the barn, I think it's because Dashy is quick, and can fly. If Applejack tried to kick the barn down, it might fall on her.

I'm not sure. I was under the impression that Sonic Rainbooms were very difficult, even for RD. She didn't even break a sweat here.

^^ It was a Sonic Raincrash. She's very good at crashing. Though this is the first time it's been particularly destructive.

How the hell did RD even survive that?! [lol]

It looked like she slammed face first into the fucking ground!!

Yeah, I can buy AJ just wanting to see shit get blown up. I still wanna see more awesomeness from her though. You're being beaten by EVERY member of the mane cast here AJ

Added "Stern Teacher" trope to Celestia. I feel it's completely justifiable considering what Twilight did.

^^ They live in a world of cartoon physics, remember?

I doubt Rarity would have actually been hurt if RD hadn't gotten to her in time in Sonic Rainboom. She might have left an amusing shaped dent in the ground though.

Now I have this theory that Macintosh just has to stamp his hooves in the ground and all the apples fall off all the trees around him.

A case of true love has the same redeeming power as a case of genuine curiosity: they are the same.

I also like how the falling debris didn't seem to hurt AJ at all, but it looked like it winded the hell out of Twilight [lol]

Yeah, this is a toon 'verse.

Also, Big Mac is awesome. grin

[up] I love the idea that the debris would have bounced off Mac like it was litter caught in the wind.

This episode pretty much completely disproves all those fics where Rainbow Dash flies into the ground or whatever and injures herself. Girl is sturdier than a tank.

[up][up][up][up][up][up] Celestia was justifiable pissed with twilight.

But she made the mane cast believe that she was taking twilight away.(the I am listening part) that wasn't very nice of her

I agree. Applejack's one of my favorite characters, but they really, really need to give her more to do. Hoping for another AJ-centric episode, soon.

I bet he could tank a dead on collision from the rainboom no problem [lol]
