@Psi No, most of AJ's flawed moments are definitely driven by her honesty. She makes a promise, and she does everything in her power to keep it, and believes wholeheartedly that she can and will keep it. She refuses to be made a liar by her own shortcomings.

In this week they go with opposite approach. No clips, screens, spoilers, leaks, even title is keep in secret.

I think the real problem is that we are expecting the Elements to have a large effect on the show (something Lauren may have been expecting as well) when ultimately. . .they don't.

They form the absolute core of the characters, and in a character driven show, that is a massive effect. They don't have to be mentioned and used all the time to be a factor.

@Gex: It can't be viewed without a password.

@Ace & Death: This week is S3E9, next week is S3E10; S3E8 is unknown because it'll be Out of Order.

It's nothing but AJ goodness for the next two weeks, ...I do hope the next one is either a Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy or believe it or not, Rarity episode.

AJ is badly in need of love these past two seasons. Her episodes were hijacked by Derpy and the Flim-Flams last season ._.

Next two episodes will be hijacked by AB and Spike, respectively.

For all that Faust apparantly planned AJ to be the 'dominating' personality in her family, she sure does blend in. Poor girl.

Rarity dominated last season, what with Sweet and Elite, Sisterhooves, and also hijacking Spike's episode. She even had a strong showing in Fluttershy's episode Putting Your Hoof Down :V

[up]Because she's kinda a bit too much like that cute farmgirl you see everyday in class :3

Sweet and Elite was hijacked by Fancypants and you know it, Sisterhooves was Sweetie Belle's episode.Really Rarity wasn't all that in season 2. And Pinkie did more Fluttershy's episode which was still squarely Fluttershy's episode.

Everyone knows Season 2 was dominated by Rainbow Dash and the Crusaders, while Season 1 was Twilight Sparkle based.

AJ only blends in compared to Apple Bloom, ...but since AB took over Season 2 and was even more energetic, it appeared AJ was just there, ...kinda like Big Mac in Season 1.

I disagree, Fancy played a strong second to Rarity's presence.

You guys are exaggerating. Any episode in which a character is developed is a good episode of focus for them. You can't tell me that just because Fancy Pants was in Sweet and Elite that the episode suddenly became about him and that Rarity wasn't developed at all, can you?

No he hasn't. Neither has Chris Savino.

Yeah, Applejack's flawed moments come from her doing her absolute utmost to be honorable and keep her word. I do believe I've compared her to an idealized samurai in the past.

I think one of the reasons I like both her and Rarity so much is how much they clearly want to be good people. Applejack is just more successful at that, to the point that her need to keep her word becomes a bit of a problem on occasion.
I have a message from another time...

AJ's real vice is that she never backs down from a challenge, and she's even more stubborn about it than Dashie.

Honestly, I think that the main issue people seem to be having is that Loyalty and Honesty are closely tied as virtues. The thing is, though, is so are the likes of Generosity and Kindness. Everything is all part of the same whole, and those parts are not mutually exclusive from each other.

And she doesn't understand, not being able to keep a promise you fully intended to keep when it was made, does not make you a liar.
