They didn't realize that ONLY the ponies who ate this ONE specific plant were the ones becoming ill? Even when it came time to document it?

People back then weren't THAT dumb. At least the medical scholors woudn'tve been.

Why is it so hard for people to believe that it's contagious?

What we've learned here today is a quick fix you can't bank
If you wish a cutie mark to appear on your flank

Also, more pony parents (possibly). Still no mention of where they are.

Maybe it has to incubate for a while before it becomes contagious, and Apple Bloom got cured before it hit that point.

Some diseases just DON'T transmit very easily. Maybe it can only be passed through bodily fluids or something.

Precious bodily fluids.

That doesn't exactly imply good things about the past ponies if it ended being an epidemic. Unless it was a Typhoid Mary type thing where one pony got it and contaminated everybody else's food or something.

Maybe it's not contagious if magically induced.

Sweat? I imagine there'd be a lot of it given Apple Bloom's behaviour. Ponies back in the day could get infected while trying to restrain the others

Great episode. Maybe not best of CMC eps (they are preaty strong especially CM Chronies) but still good ep, better than last one. It more AB ep horever, what I also liked. Great (and creepy) concept of Cutie Pox. I love how Rest of CMC were happy about AB CM , instead that anoying idea that it could damage their friendship .

Twist have lines ^^^, and it's look that she is still friend of AB. Nice use of filly bitches Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon .

And Zecora back. And she prooved that she is badass witch doctor. And that moment when she thinked that town is afraid of her again, that sad, first time when she showed her sadness she need hug, it's good that town was hided because of something else.

And Filly Derpy! I call Derpy little sister.

I do love how DT and SS ridiculed AB's FIRST cutie mark.

What's SS talent supposed to be again?

Yeah, seriously. Those ponies are jerks.

I say its eating. WITH A SPOON!

I love how their bulling don't resulted in AB angs but she showed them how cool her (fake) CM was.

No love for AB inspiration speech from begining? I could listen to this all time.

HD Ep , ninja link because troll raid YT with delete and ban requests. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqxMT24V0IE

For those wondering about the American Gothic Couple painting seen "Cutie Pox", apparently its just a reference to American Gothic and not the ever elusive Apple parents.

The mystery of Applejack's parents continue.

I still can't believe they put a referance to The Big Lebowski into the show.

The awesomeness of ponies is beginning to boarder on the absurd.

So... did Pinkie actually eat MORE than 6 corncakes?

That Shout Out caught me COMPLETELY off guard. At first I was like: "Wait, is that... no it couldn't be."

Wait, Scoot was flying in this ep!

I know it was short and that scene when it hapen can be much of proof (he could be jumping) it is start.

This is Pinkie we're talking about here.

Any food consumed will be at least in the double digits.

I didn't get B Ig Leboski shoutouut (propably beacause I haven't watched it).

I thought it was one of the animators as a pony.

The Big Lebowski

Let's just say...it's a film not suitable for the target demographic.

They can't be animator cameo, becuause one of the mane animators Sabrina Alberghetti Sibsy said at one poit she trying to put her pony avatar in show (so it not that easy).

Sorry, this is massively off topic, but I'd thought I'd ask it anyway;

What do think of this idea?

Clockpunk OC pony is inspired to invent the hand as a child after watching a monkey peel a banna while on a school trip to a Zoo.

It was definitely a shout out. There was a Jeff Bridges pony, a Walter pony, and a Jesus pony. I don't know if there was a Donny pony though.

I still say that Silver Spoon will end up becoming a butler or something. Although as of the latest episode she's actually been openly antagonistic (before she just sort of went along with Diamond Tiara, who did the actual bitchery), so I have less evidence for my 'she's not that bad, she just rolls with Diamond Tiara' theory.

apparently there's a tumblr of her that posits her as a food critic, which is interesting.
