You know I'm really surprised by how much the episode's reception has turned for the better.

I was expecting some dislike of this ep, but the response seems to be positive. Yay for happy Bronies!
God, I'm getting far to used to Fan Dumb. Its sad when it not appearing is amazing.

That's simply because we do know how to love and tolerate.

It is interesting that unlike most other fandoms, the Fan Dumb isn't on display front and center. You have to look for it.

I initially found the episode enjoyable...but the more I ponder it...the more I like it...it's rapidly shooting up my favourites chart.

I wonder if that has anything to do with the type of people who would watch the show, or the message the show gives?
Yep, this is an odd one that gets better the more you think about it. I think its because the flaws that appeared were ones that people were hoping were not in, causing it to hurt when they were, but it turned out to only be minor flaws, where the rest of the ep was excellent.

I put it down to sheer luck and the fact that I personally don't go to where the worst aspects of the fandom lie.
Though to be honest, I still don't like this episode.

I'm starting to wonder if well ever get a proper breakdown from AJ. Looks to me like she'd work towards a solution rather than let intrusive thoughts get in the way. In a way it means she doesn't think as much as the others, including pinkie, she assured enough in herself that she can find a way rather than break down.
@Applelight, your brief little hint: she's showering.

AJ is definitely the most mentally stable pony.
The fandumb these days seems to congeal in /pony/.

Why do you guys want AJ to go full on Lesson Zero level INSANE?! Rarity didn't do that.

Do any of you find it crazy, that people are shipping Twilight with some background unicorn for simply standing right next to him?

And yet if there was an episode where AJ had a "proper breakdown" I'm sure that it would be one of the most popular episodes aired.
/pony/ has become kind of a cess pool hasn't it.
I don't either. Yet "pony insanity" has always proven popular with the fans so I wouldn't put it past them.
No.

Ginger, I don't want her to go insane, I was making that observation as a testament of just how strong a person AJ is. Or how much she doesn't overthink. Either way, she may be the least insecure of the Mane Six.

Jeez, I can even hear Applejack's voice about to break up, like she's holding back tears.
That, or I'm imagining things.

Sometimes I wonder what episodes would be like if the characters outside of the main six that I ship with them were part of the main cast as well. And it only just occurred to me that they were main characters . I should assign them new elements of harmony. As an OC among them but I already have her element picked out.
Here's what I was thinking, though I'm open for suggestions
- Ember
*: Hope
- Cheerilee: Knowledge
- Spitfire: courage
- Trixie: sincerity
- Gilda: Courage/an undetermined ironic one

I've listened to several fandubs of Derpy's voice, and I dunno, I still prefer the original one. She sounds, well, Derpy. And I've always pictured her as the clutzy happy-go-lucky one of Ponyville anyway ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]")
Also, this year's dinner served really bad chicken. I hope I don't get some really bad bowel movements tonight.

My guess would be the scene when she had to explain to the mane cast all the ribbons were not first place.

@Ace: It wasn't undercooked or anything. It was just really slimy, like the steam chicken you get from those market chicken rice stores. Fortunately, we bought a ton of bakkwa for tommorow. I friggen love bakkwa. It's like eggnog on Christmas.
Spooky.

@pan: oh, that's good then. I have not-too-happy memories of painful toilet trips triggered by poor cooking. I'm posting from my family reunion dinner at my grandma's house.
I'm kinda curious as to what kind of hands-on contact can be considered rude when cuddling or petting your favourite Equestrian pony, don't want to get complaints or get kicked or end up on the moon.
@apple: you have no idea how much your avatar changes that message D:
