Yeah, title cards would add something I think. A bit of...adventure.

I am currently catching up with the thread, I can't beleive it's 8 AM in my home country now.
I enjoyed the episode, I loved Pinkie Pie in it, she was more adorable than she's ever been before,
Thing that bothered me: the others are such poor friends they can't figure the only Pinkie that demonstrated any sort of emotional depth was the real one. I mean come on, she was the only one not causing mayhem, being genuinely useful, and actually moping around!

@Mousa: Given some of the subtle little Aside Glances Twi was making, I suspect she already knows, but doesn't want to alert the Reflections and cause them to adapt more. See, she learnt her other lesson from the Royal Wedding capers :V
It also doubles as a little suspense-driven punishment by making sure Pinkie doesn't get to freely escape the consequences of what she's one.

@Mousa: Considering that Pinkie normally acts not all that different from her clones when the episode isn't focused on her, I'm not all that surprised that they felt skeptical about going with the depressed one.

So she must watch paint dry. And everyone else has to watch her watch paint dry.

Yeah, the likelihood of a defective clone combined with the fact that they had to be 100% sure makes it pretty believable to me that they didn't pick up on which was the real Pinkie.

@Ed: Punishment is still punishment :V Anyways at least Pinkie helped AJ properly in the end, she'd been saving up for that barn for 3 seasons now.

Some lampshading would have helped.
Twilight: "I have an idea which one might be the real Pinkie, but I can't risk making a mistake. I have to test them all to be sure."
See, one line.

Good point. On the other hand, she decided to really not let the clones adapt to her knowledge. But yeah, she could have said that at the very end.

Now that I think about it, you're right Ace. Applejack's barn has had an episode 3 arc!
Season 1 Episode 3 - Ticket Master: AJ wants money from the gala to fix up the rickety old barn among other things.
Season 2 Episode 3 - Lesson Zero: AJ has the old barn demolished
Season 3 Episode 3 - Too Many Pinkie Pies: AJ is raising a new barn.
This has the be the most ridiculously strong continuity I've ever seen.

I'll take the latter any day. At least there's some entertainment to be had in schadenfreude.

I still stick with the thought that she wanted to exercise her favorite power/revenge fantasy. The ability to inflict extreme violence upon a number of Pinkie Pies with little to no consequence must have been enticing enough to risk it.
That's kind of funny. I really wonder if they intended that?

Well it was that or watching metal rust, ice melt, or grass grow.

Exactly. I think there were problems on both sides. AJ was obviously being too stubborn about the whole deal, but I think everyone else should have taken a more subdued approach than "If you don't want to tell us we'll make you tell us". Like a "everybody in the town misses you and wants you to come back" type of thing.

@Mousa: the continuity gets better when you realize that the reason they were leaning hard on Cider Season was to make up the expenses of getting hardware and good lumber for the barn. They really should have called in some free relatives to help with Cider Season.

Twilight should have issued the Pinkies a maths test. No way they could have concentrated for that. I don't think it's possible.
@The Barn Arc: That's....that's amazing.

You underestimate the concentration-inducing ability of a well-crafted math problem.

I think the problem is that Pinkie probably isn't good at math.
