You know the drill!

This topic is provided to give everyone a common area to discuss the latest episode after it's aired AND been uploaded to Youtube, to be fair to those of us (myself included) do not have The Hub.

Please do NOT openly link to DOWNLOADS of the episode. You can find them on other sites and we don't want to risk pissing off Hasbro, Hasbro's crack team of lawyers, or our webhost.

Thank you!

I have a feeling this episode will provoke controversy over race.

This episode probably shades toward the bottom of my list. I liked it enough, I guess. Pinkie Pie was great in it, as usual. "Friendship requires compromises" is a half-assed moral though, don't you think? There's a big ol' conflict, and it gets solved because the apples are tasty? Clearly, they needed to talk it over, and refused to. That's a better moral, I think.

I think people who cry foul over race need to remember this is -a cartoon with anthropomorphic characters-. They played American Bison (aka Buffalo) as American Indians, in the great plains/'old west'. This makes sense. You didn't see casinos or smoke pipes or, like, scalped ponies. Yes you saw 'war paint', but the sort you see at a BASEBALL game.

Did any of you notice how Twilight said "everybody" instead of "everypony" at some point in the episode? Tsk, tsk, writers! =P In all honesty though, I quite liked this episode. It definitely felt different from the rest of the bunch, as this was the first episode in the series that wasn't set in Ponyville at some point. It was a nice change of pace, in my opinion. The humor was also great (horse-drawn horse-drawn carriages anypony?). This is definitely among my top episodes, probably tied with "Dragonshy" and "Fall Weather Friends" in second place.

It will get it's place on the map. West side on the plains that meets the desert just between the rocky points.

Just what I was thinking. I went I get home Weds. I open up the working file of the map and put it on there. :3

Coolness, now I am rather curious to visit it. :D

They have the technical prowess to build a train but not the engine to propell it? What's the point of building a car shaped like a train engine then? XD

What a fun episode though. "Now do a backflip!"

With a CHIMNEY STACK, no less!

Also: Sorry for the lack of part 2; I've checked the usual accounts and I'm only finding part one so far. :c

So, I finally broke down and watched part 1. (Hehe... "Y'know she's not a tree, right?") And now I'm stuck not knowing how the episode ends! What to do?

What would Fluttershy do? ...Panic? Maybe. What about Pinkie Pie? Spontaneously burst into a song about waiting? ...I don't know any songs about waiting, I'd need to write one myself. Too much work. Twilight? Read a book on waiting? ...Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's no such book. Rainbow Dash would probably just charge in and attack, but I don't see how that applies to this situation. Rarity... start whining and crying on the forums until part 2 gets posted? Nah, you guys don't deserve that. Applejack.. eh, no idea what she'd do.

I guess I'll just hide under my bed for now. Fluttershy would approve.
