Remember, this show is about FRIENDSHIP and how its Magic.

That said, I would like to reiterate that Applejack is best pony, clearly and for real this time.

EDIT: Best Pony Music for Pagetopper!

Now I want to see an episode where a pear-selling pony actually shows up. Sorta like this one, only the other ponies aren't actively trying to drive the Apples out of business, so AJ doesn't have any good reason to dislike them.

Alright, I saw it. The musical number was excellent, and all the ponies' googly eyes was pretty sad.

And of course, AJ not learning anything was hilarious.

The Flim Flam bros. are my favorite villians now.

NO DEAL

Good episode. Ending was rushed, but it was worth it to have the awesome song.

Arg, I don't know whether I want to stick with crazy human Twilight as my avatar or switch to drunk Cheerilee.

I vote crazy human Twilight!

Much funnier.

Ok, saw the episode. Haven't seen an episode this predictable since Ticket Master.

It had some funny moments and the musical was nice. My biggest question, however, is why didn't anypony try a blind taste test? Certainly that would have resolved the problem of who can sell cider (even if that meant the Apple farm goes out of business).

I would be a little more harsh, but as soon as AJ said she didn't learn anything, I realized that this was a throw away episode. So I can be somewhat forgiving. I just hope Hasbro doesn't make more throw away episodes for a while.

Also, Big Macintosh said something other than "eeeyup." Yay.

One last thing; at the beginning of the episode, Rainbowdash pulls the covers off of Fluttershy's bed. Flutter looks down and blushes. What was that suppose to mean?

I could make a clopping joke...

I had feeling that clip involved some sort of innuendo. I just didn't think it was true because, well, they don't normally wear clothes

Well I liked it.

It's also notable for beingone of the first episodes to show a character acting on the lesson they learned in a previous episode.

Just because the character writing the letter didn't learn anything doesn't mean there was no moral. Or that no one learned anything. I'd say RD learned the most in this ep

I assume that it's innuendo for purely that reason; there's no way of explaining it in the context of the show.

Also, the status quo thing didn't bug me too much; the episodes tend to leave that intact anyway.

Thing is, no one gave a shit about quality until the end, QUANTITY was the only issue anyone cared about, and the Flim Flams clearly showed that they were willing to forego Quality just to make more Cider. That is NOT a good mindset for an enteprising businesspony to have

Why does everyone want to be pointlessly dark and mean-spirited

What did Rainbow learn?

Great...with the way things are going...I wont get to see this new episode for another four hours!

set up camp early when there's limited supply of something you want.

@Bad Quality over Quantity. She was the one most ready to emulate the Flim Flam's methods just in the name of winning before being talked down

Gotcha. But at least the Apple Family's cider wouldn't have had trees in it if they did listen to her. She wasn't going as far as the Flim Flam Brothers.

God, it hasn't even been a day, and already some prick on the YMMV is complaining that the Flim Flams were "Designated Villains" and how the episode "condemns progress". God help me...

I can sorta see where they are coming from. I mean, if anything came out of it, it was indeed the fact that the Apple family got a lot more apple cider than normal.

what can you say, some people will bitch about anything

You can always delete that... I mean, it's Complaining.

Certain parts of this fandom...

I had a bit of Fridge Brilliance that answered my own Fridge Logic question about Rainbow Dash. I was thinking "Why did she go through the trouble of taking Fluttershy along when she could have gone by herself and gotten there faster?" And then I realized that she was showing her loyalty by making sure her friend was included, and also, she could have asked Fluttershy to let her go in front (which, as meek as she is, Fluttershy probably would have let Dash get in front if she was asked to) but she didn't. Perhaps she knew that Fluttershy doesn't usually get to be first from their past interactions in Cloudsdale and wanted to give her that chance?

Even if they were willing to use crap apples, it wouldn't have helped much. The Flim Flams were making Cider out of entire TREES. that would've added a crap ton of mass to each barrel, meaning they would've filled up each barrel a lot quicker.

The mane cast STILL would've lost AND had barrels full of Sub-par cider. It just wasn't worth it
