Mini Picdump Time, Babs Seed Edition:

• Smashing pumpkins. It's an easy feat.
• Fix it, Apple Bloom!
• U mad?
• Human
• I'm an ADULT!

I have to admit I thought it was a nice touch how Babs was obviously a bit uncomfortable with their exuberance at the start of the episode.

A little late to watching the episode. I kind of thought it was little padded out at points (particularly the song), and I personally wish they had done a little more with the actual recurring bully characters (though I understand why they didn't). Overall though, I still liked it.

I don't know why but I loved when Scootaloo got angry at Babs for taking over the clubhouse, probably because I thought she was going to go up and punch Babs, DT, and SS in their big smug faces (stupid TV-Y rating). Actually, I liked Scootaloo in general in this episode, probably because she actually seemed to display personality outside the "crusader collective" for once.

Scoots has that semi-aggressive streak kinda like Dashie.

I'd be uncomfortable, I mean they were practically throwing themselves at her.

Also, the song was... Nice. Catchy, adorable, memorable, BUT IT'S ABOUT BLANKING TORTURE!

How am I supposed to feels about that? It's a good cute song about suffering? What were they thinking? Iran I know you needed a bullying montage but did it really need a song?

@Mio, I think Scoots and Sweetie both did.

One more "I'm paying way too much attention to minutiae" bit: The part where they do the sugar-lump-rump bit. And then Babs covers her flank again, but that's old news. But for a few frames after that, the first expression we see on her face. Not gloating, not mockery, but embarassment.

So many cracks at Narnia in the comments

Lol, the transcript

@Kyler: Collect all your observations and post a nice entry on the Fridge Brilliance page, please :D

I got "Lettuce in" and "leaf me here", but was "veggie salad" supposed to be a pun? I've been trying to parse that and not getting anything.

It's not really Fridge Brilliance so much as me being hyper-observant. Though it's probably more like me taking 20. I usually have a crap Spot check.

I kinda noticed the body language too, although not as much as you. It's a nice and subtle touch to Babs.

Just finished the episode, I quite liked it. Especially how we always had hints as to why Babs jumped in on the opportunity to be a bully.

Indeed. I applaud the writers and/or animators for such consistency. Bravo!

Yeah, that's definitely one of my favorite elements of the episode.

Added an entry to Fridge, kudos Kyler.

Just watched on YouTube during my lunch break and I definitely enjoyed it on the whole. The song was very catchy and I generally enjoyed the story. I'll definitely be re-watching this one with more attention to detail soon.

Yeah, they did well with the body language thing.

But yeah, the veggie salad thing, explanation please?

Thanks, I guess?

I don't get the veggie salad bit, either.

Is it just me, or was Pinkie even more detached from reality than usual?

Clearly Twi sent back the wrong Pinkie last episode.

Veggie Salad? Nah, that's just Pinkie having fun with the lettuce float :3

why did i even mention this

Seemed the same amount to me.

Its already been brought up, but I like how Time Turner was dressed as a pear. I wonder if that's suppose to be a Doctor Who reference or not (Doesn't The Doctor like, hate pears? Is this proof that once and for all Time Turner is not The Doctor?)

Also, I guess its that time... did we have a Derpy cameo? I didn't spot her. She was barely in the last one (you briefly see her from behind in a crowd shot, same with the premiere episode). They seemed so desperate to shoe-horn her into almost every Season 2 episode, seems strange. Guess they really are reigning her in this season.

@Calnos: Clearly he lost a bet and had to wear the pear costume. Inside, he is crying.

He's just sweating from his eyes.

On the inside.

Yeah.
