@Zero Doctor Whooves can't drop by because his previous incarnation is already hanging out there. Such a meeting tends to attract Time Reapers.

Hrmm, on a more serious note, I also liked "At The Gala". But did anyone feel the happy ending was a bit forced?

you mean the 'happy ending' to the episode? I didn't find it that forced - I've been able to laugh off a really crappy time with friends before. It helps to have someone else point out the absurdity of everything going wrong at once.

Kinda like how watching a bad movie on your own is kind of a drag, but watching a bad movie with friends leads to a great hour-and-a-half snarkfest.

@edvedd: That was a great song. Loved it to pieces almost immediately.

Didn't feel forced as much as tacked-on to me.

x4: The whole point of my saying that was that from the good Doctor, 'in a few minutes' can mean anything between a few minutes and several years. So on top of not getting muffins, Derpy would also be let down by the Doctor.

Oh, I see. I'm sorry, I'm not good at picking up the more subtle humor.

...Oh my, that is tragic.

"Ten years!"

"I was gone that long?"

"Wait...no... thirty minutes. ...but it felt like ten years!"

I dunno, the ending didn't really feel as forced to me.

Probably because I was too busy admiring how awesome Trollestia is though.

I didn't think the ending felt forced.

...Did anyone else find it sad to see the dresses Rarity agonized over get ruined after they were only worn once? (Or twice, in Rarity's case?)

I felt sad for Rarity herself. (I didn't notice anyone else's dresses getting messed up)

It's sad to see that Rarity and Fluttershy had their dresses wrecked, especially since they were the originals.

However, it's not as though more can't be made. I mean, they're probably a regularly ordered thing at that one shop of Hoity Toity's, for one.

"Derpy Hooves, the filly who waited."

"For a half-hour"

Somebody write that fic now.

'Everypony said I was being derpy when I told them about the scruffy pony...'

Derpy is River Song. Dinky is their daughter.

Godammit.

Hello, Sweetie Belle...

I rather dislike River.
Just saying.
Besides, we just established Derpy as 'the pony who waited^

^{thirty minutes}

'.

I didn't fell all that bad for most of the cast. Applejack didn't lose anything from her ventures, Pinkie basically just had to take a night off from partying, Fluttershy cam dangerously close to one of those episodes that every show does about how not everyone is going to like you...Rarity I felt kinda sorry for for having to put up with Blueballs, but she could've just ditched him at any time.

Twilight and Dash, on the other hand...Twilight just wanted to spend some quality time with her sorta-surrogate-mother-thing, but couldn't even get a word in. And Dash met her idols, whose lives she saved and she got blown off - though to be fair, it didn't really seem like the Wonderbolts' fault at all.

Owning Prince Douche was easily Rarity's best moment all season; even above her handling of the diamond dogs.

I loved when Rarity snapped at Blueblood. I like seeing her "proper" attitude falter.

Holy Shit.

Angry Fluttershy was awesome. And Rarity snapping at Blueblood was frankly, quite awesome.

(At The Gala is my third favourite song number in the series as of now. The 1st being "Winter Wrap Up" and the 2nd being "Art of the Dress")

Those apple treats she didn't sell would mean an opportunity cost at best. And then consider other ingredients it takes to bake those things, ingredients that they don't grow themselves at Sweet Apple Acres and were likely bought from another supplier. That would mean a certain cost involved in making them, which means that if Applejack didn't manage to sell enough to make up the cost, she could end up losing money instead.

One would hope that she at least broke even.
