I liked that one, too... Although I HAVE heard critique in regards of Rainbow Dash's treatment of the animals...

Animal cruelty is ALWAYS hilarious!Rienzi Melville Johnston said:
The complaint also regards how the other ponies did nothing to stop her from pushing the animals too far.
But the animals were willing contestants the real episode where she pushes ponies to far is Hurricane FluttershySmashgoom202 said:
That's true... In fact that's kind of the argument I used against the guy... I also didn't like how she was pushing Thunderland too hard, just because she wanted to be a record; NOT to make the necessary wingpower, just look impressive, and it turned out to be her own undoing. Some people used the argument that she genuinely thought he was faking, but really, what basis does she have to think that?Rienzi Melville Johnston said:
That entire subplot thing is the reason I don't like that episode I thought it was poorly done and a shitty excuse to have Fluttershy come to the rescueSmashgoom202 said:
At the very least, it dives into Fluttershy's psyche, and gives us a reason why she's so shy, and gives us some character growth. And even though I hate how Rainbow Dash treats everyone else, I like how supportive she is to Fluttershy.
I don't remember anything else other then being happy they didn't break the recordSmashgoom202 said:
Clearly, you missed the entire point of the episode. Also, they were happy because they managed to make the 800 wingpower at all with the numbers they had, thanks in part to Fluttershy finding the courage to push herself to the limit which motivated everyone else..Rienzi Melville Johnston said:
i'm not surprised I missed the point most episodes of mlp ended up being back ground filler (meaning they were in the background while I did other things) and that episode was in general meh (I base that off of the fact that I remember very little of it)Smashgoom202 said:

Sending the Money eventually would of meant taking such a long time to get that kind of cash. I doubt being the motor for the Cherry machine was going to take a short amount of time to get the money. And the town did put alot of pressue on Applejack on getting the ribbons/prize money to fix town hall. Applejack's one with alot of pride, she was afraid of disappointing everyone if she came back empty-handed. Her pride and her stubborness drove her to deal with the shame by eventually working for the money. Yes she almost abandons her family and friends, but that's exactly what she needed to learn by the episode's end. Which led to the kinda cheesy, but still IMO heartwarming ending. I'm fine if you don't like Last Round-Up but it's still in my Top 10 of Season 2.
And I for one found Last Round-Up to be very funny. Especially Pinkie Pie. So humor is subjective in this case.

This... has got to be the best Christmas present of them all. :DThe Ghost of Christmas Crash said:
Especially given that Fluttershy was the only one that Discord had to force her into brainwashing... She's the PERFECT one to try and reform him!

Color me very hyped for that episode. Ever since Hurricane Fluttershy she's become my on again, off again 2nd favorite pony. If this episode turns out awesome, she may get a permanent spot as #2.

I'm wondering if this means Discord will have some sort of role in the Season Finale. Having a free Discord (Even if he''s no longer evil) sounds like something that can really be a game changer for the show. And although I'm really hyped for this episode. I do wonder what the hell is Celestia thinking. Is there something coming up where they need Discord to be an ally in order to win? If so, what could be so bad that they need to bring back and reform a former BIG bad in order to defeat it?

Most episodes of the show can be considered cliche, it's hard to find an episode of the show hasn't been done before in some way or another and even if you find one. It's surrounded by all the other ones that have been covered in other cartoons. It's the quality of the show and the characters that breathe new life into those cliches
Pinkie Pie! Chocolate Rain that isn't coming from someone evil!

If I want a "reformed Discord" story, I'll read real "reformed Discord" stories like Three's a Crowd at the Top, thank you very much.

Reforming the living embodiment of chaos? What the hell?
Also to people insulting Applejack episodes: what about The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000? Does that count as an Applejack episode? It was tad overrated, but still awesome. (Yes I can like something while acknowledging it's a bit overrated.)
And honestly Hurricane Fluttershy was a little boring to me for some reason. Putting Your Hoof Down keeps its place as my favorite Fluttershy episode.
