Kid sitting behind Diamond Tiara in class, and hanging around at the end of the episode.
The end of the world as we know it. Like weekends usually are, but more dire.

Russell? He has a name already? Man, that's fast.

Interesting and weird episode.
I have so got to talk about zap apples in the second chapter of my fanfic.
Clock is ticking!

The music in the whole Ponyville-founding flashback is beautiful. When it swells at the end, I get a chill and my eyes tear up.

I've seen a few people call this a weird episode
I don't get it. What's so weird about it?
Also, Sweetie seemed to be acting pretty smart in this episode
edit: oh, and afternoon!

They find Granny's Zap-apple rituals strange and incomprehensible.

The same episode where she has the dopiest face ever. (See: the end of Filthy Rich's presentation.)

Sweetie's voice actress is quite crazed when hopped up on a sugar-high.

That new Colt (Russell, is it? Where did THAT name come from?) is ADORABLE 
I love how he was eating a Cookie during Mr Rich's speech ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]")

The kid from Up is called Russel. I agree he's great.

@ginger: Personally, the whole zapapple thing. Yeah, yeah, there's Winter Wrap Up and Running of the Leaves but it's been a while since I've seen a worldbuilding so weird, for a lack of better terms. It's almost like they're going out of their way to make Granny Smith as kooky as possible while still being realistic in context of the show's reality.
Oh, and Applebloom smacking Granny's rump. I'm probably the only one on that.

The only thing I'm sad about is that we didn't get to hear Young!Granny's voice
I'd love to have heard her yelling at the jars
You thought the rump slapping was creepy?

So it turns out Granny Smith was involved with Ponyville's founding!
I guess that Heartswarming Eve pageant was indeed a bit exaggerated.

No, not creepy - weren't we talking about weird? I made a face at that scene, if that's what you mean, and that's because I know that no one else but me would think too much about that scene*.

You know, I get the impression Granny Smith was in the army some time in her youth.
Mind you, I only extrapolated from her use of the word "court-marshalled".

I kinda wished we coulda seen more of Granny Smith's siblings. (At least I think those were her siblings in the flashback)

One of Granny's coltfriends might have been in the army or something. In before Grandad Smith is a badass soldier pony.

Did anyone thing Granny Smith's mother looked a bit upper class? I think that might explain the Oranges' branch of the family tree.

The only thing I remember is her being pissed off at Great Grandpa Smith for kissing Celestia's hoof

@Shota: The pageant was the founding of Equestria. This was the founding of Ponyville.
