Hmmmm, conflicting synopsis. Which one is canon?

[up][up]That synopsis was from the same source that gave "Baby Cakes"'s synopsis as "When the Cake's go out of town, Pinkie Pie decides to babysit their twin toddlers. But she has a difficult time to keep them in line when she acknowledges their naive behavior of mischief. So her friends decide to help her babysitting job go on with success."

The real expanded synopsis of "The Last Roundup" seems to be "After attending a rodeo competition being held in Canterlot, Applejack mysteriously disappears without a trace, so it is up to the friends to travel all over Equestria, searching high and low for their missing companion."

Yeah, I think the "Applejack screws up" synopsis was from an unreliable source, so I'd take that with a grain of salt.

What if AJ messed up at the Rodeo and has suffered a breakdown because of it?

Also, did you watch the episode JT?

Flim Flam brothers from second AJ episode - they are Donkeys wild mass guess
They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

[up] Me too.

I thought it was cute as hell...and pretty funny too. It was also good to see Pinkie's Element fail to work for her...it builds character and...serious Pinkie is funny...and sad Pinkie is Sad.

I liked how they actually got her wackiness worked into the plot rather than just tossing it out there. It was a good balance of zaniness and Pinkie actually trying to be responsible.

[up] Indeed. I'd say the episode was very successful at that.

Some questions about pony genitics were also answered (sort of).

Mixed Races is cannon.

[up] We still don't know if EP born Pegasi or Unicorns have EP traits though. We just know that two E Ps can produce a non-earth. (as long as that race exists somewhere in their bloodline)

I liked that Pinkie's wakiness actually served a purpose, rather than being there purely to be funny.

Pinkie makes some great faces when she's scared/stressed [lol]

[up]That's exactly what I was talking about. Her wackiness is a lot more tolerable when there's a good reason for it.

I still say the best face in the episode was the babies' faces during the pig song. That needs to be the new standard for WTF reaction images.

Oh, just remembered another gag that really made me laugh:

Pinkie's watch only has one time on it: PARTY TIME [lol]

My favorite WTF face is still the one Rarity makes in Dragonshy.

[up][up][up] Yeah. It's awesome that even babies find Pinkie Pie weird.

I wonder if there's an official name for that sound effect of Fluttershy/other ponies/slightly-grown Spike's head/rubber chicken?

[up] I call it Fluttersquee, personally.

Am I the only person who found that scene where Pinkie couldn't find the babies to be kinda freaky? I mean, losing babies an Adult Fear all on it's own, but that music was just creepy.

[up] It was suprisingly unnerving yeah.

Also, it built up to a trainspotting referance! How cool is that?

[up][up] SO IT WASN'T JUST ME!!! You saw it as a trainspotting reference too?

Yes, I thought that scene was pretty eerie as well

[up][up] When the main character is being forced to go cold turkey from heroin by his family, he halluicantes seeing the dead baby of a friend crawling around the ceiling at him.

Pound does the same thing...crawl along the roof, then look down.

[up] Yeah I said it yesterday and no one commented! [lol]
