For another great opening picture, see my earlier post. ;-)
ReplyDeleteFor a second I thought that said "Last Nightly Round Up"
ReplyDeletehmmm well if applejack is missing it might be a little hard for her to catch the spotlight
ReplyDeleteLol she finally gets her own episode after being ignored throughout half of Season 1 and all of Season 2
ReplyDelete>applejack episode
ReplyDelete>applejack disappears
think about that for a sec.
An adventure episode! I love those. It sounds like AJ will be the focus, but might ot be in it much herself.
ReplyDelete@Watchit Ehh, so true.
ReplyDeleteChooo-chooo...
ReplyDelete@Adrian Brony
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought haha
Want an Applejack-centered episode where she steals the show? TOO BAD! We'll have her run away instead and have the other 5 looking for her.
ReplyDelete@jinratgeist Exactly what I'm thinking. Given the upcoming DVD, the train has to be used at some point in the episode.
ReplyDelete@Adrian Brony
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing.
hhahahaha.
still I do like ADVENTURE!
it was a while ago we had an applejack episode, its going to be fun to see how this plays out :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting episode - I love the adventure-type ones. :)
ReplyDeleteBut wait... if episode 12 is set to air on the 7th, and then episode 13 is set to air on the 21st... ugh, so they're gonna keep us waiting for three weeks for just episode 12, and then 2 freaking MORE for episode 13??? Why, Hasbro, why?!
This sounds really interesting. I hope we get to see it from AJ view
ReplyDeleteyay, AJ episode.
ReplyDeleteboo, AJ fans gushing everywhere.
fans ruin everything.
I'm gonna make a crazy prediction here, but I am going to bet that this episode is going to have to do with some sort of exposition revealed in Family Appreciation Day, after Granny smith lets loose some bit of info that gets applejack inspired to go searching for something or somepony.
ReplyDeletealso a guess: it's a 3 part series with the rumored "putting ones hoof down" as the episode after this.
Yeah, apparently we have to be really patient for these to come out. Be prepared Bronies.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be like waiting for Skyrim to come out all over again.
An AJ episode in which AJ has disappeared.
ReplyDeleteEeyup. Potential two parter though?
Right so, the order is...
ReplyDeleteThis week: Nothing
Nothing (Celebrate New Year's Eve with a Marathon)
Family appreciation day
Baby Cakes
The Last Roundup
Right?
'bout time AJ is the central character. Even if she's run away, I'm sure the episode is going to spend the majority of the time with her.
wait, addendum, not a 3 part series per se. just that the reason why AJ disappeared will have to do with Family Appreciation Day
ReplyDeleteFinally an AJ episode again
ReplyDeletehow is this episode 13 if baby cakes, that Pinkie episode, is 13?
ReplyDeleteI'M SO FUCKING CONFUSED.
Finally Applejack gets another episode for herself. And she's disappeared in it. Lmao. That's kinda funny. Poor AJ just can't seem to get much time in the spotlight. I'm not going to make any crazy predictions. I like to silently imagine. :) But I'm sure I won't be disappointed. I haven't truly been yet in season two.
ReplyDelete@wackypony
ReplyDeleteI share the same sentiment as you, brony.
Nevertheless, AJ episode at last whoohoo!
Pinkie then AJ!!
ReplyDeleteFuck yes.
I've been waiting for another AJ episode since..... jeez, has it really been since Fall Weather Friends? Heres hoping it turns out well
ReplyDelete@Octavia
ReplyDeleteyou haven't been disappointed with season two? i wish i could share that sentiment.
Herp derp this is episode 14 I believe
ReplyDeleteAnyway, sounds like a fanfic description, shoukd be good :)
LOL WTF that description!!! Is that a episode or a fanfic haha.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteYay, Applejack adventure episode!
ReplyDeleteIn which she's not in it.
Hmmm.
....ssstilll, excited!
@Ten
ReplyDeletethe last thing i wanna see is any character get a sudden rise to popularity because you get a bunch of newfags and trolls running around cliaming "*insert pony here* is best pony" then they won't shut the fuck up about it.
for me, it'd be a nightmare.
I mean it's still MLP and they only have 22 minutes to resolve the problem but "journey" makes the whole episode sound epic like they're going to another city to find her.
ReplyDeleteAJ goes missing? Dark tag episodes now? Hmm.
ReplyDeleteAnybody else feel like the title's a little depressing >_>
ReplyDelete... So Applejack *FINALLY* gets her own episodes... And she goes missing in it? Applejack, I think you're doomed to forever be everyone's least favourite pony. :/ (Apart from mine. Twilight Sparkle holds that title for now.)
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteYeah it sounds really dark. I wouldn't mind reading a dark fanfic based on this premise.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking a se7en like ending.
@wackypony
ReplyDeleteWhy are you so negative all the time? It's been ages since I've seen a post in a more positive light from you.
@Chaoyll
ReplyDeleteprobably cause i've forgotten how to simply enjoy something without over analyzing things within it that don't even fucking exist. it drives me insane if i do and it drives me insane if i don't.
@Adrian Brony
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Amen. Even in her own episode... XD
@wackypony
ReplyDeleteNot enough magical multi-coloured ponies, that's your problem.
So she finally gets her own episode since forever, and the premise is that she's upped and disappeared and the rest of the mane 6 get to run around looking for her?
ReplyDelete*sigh*
I can name a few people I know elsewhere who are going to troll me about this/rub it in. They were already teasing me about the idea that "The Last Roundup" would end up being a Big Mac episode, or that it would have been about Rarity and/or Apple Bloom somehow. >_>
@wackypony
ReplyDeleteYeah, I figured someone would make that comment. But not really, no. There were one of two episodes I wasn't especially fond of. But none I really dislike.
@Octavia
ReplyDeleteif it weren't for the ending of Mare Do Well, I'd hate that episode with an iron-fisted passion. the ending saved it. still never want to see it again, but eh.
*sigh*
ReplyDelete"Applejack is Best Pony" is by far the most difficult fan fort to hold here. But I'm doing it anyway.
Is she really a member of the Mane 6, or is she just the most important secondary character besides Spike?
She's important. She's extremely useful. After all, her family pretty much grows all of the food for Ponyville. She's helped out a lot, especially in a few Season 2 episodes, but she really isn't one for the spotlight, eh? Well, a Captain needs his/her Lieutenants...
That name and description could be used in a sad/grim fic about AJ where she either dies or gets hurt badly. I doubt that is what we are getting, though. :D If this is an adventure episode, I'll be happy!
ReplyDeleteAlso, The Last Roundup <-> The Last Crusade. She does have the hat!
@80PercentBrony
ReplyDeletei don't consider her anymore goddamned important than any of the other mane 6. quit trying to assign who's more fucking important cause you're missing the point of the show.
i'm more content with saying everypony is equal, despite them having ever so slight variations in how i rank them.
Wow, so we just have to start bitching about Mare Do Well at every available opportunity, huh?
ReplyDelete@80PercentBrony
ReplyDeleteI'm with you all the way *Brohoof*
Much <3 fellow AJ fans.
@BornIn1142
ReplyDeleteoh, no. I was just commenting on why i've found season 2 to be ever so slightly disappointing.
I'd much rather bitch about fans.
thats enough info to get me amped, to bad it almost a month till it airs =(
ReplyDelete@wackypony
ReplyDeleteHere's an idea for you: how about you don't bitch at all?
@BornIn1142
ReplyDeletebut the day is young and a day isn't complete without bitching. :3
The title and synopsis sound like this episode has a huge drama bomb. What would make AJ, self proclaimed loyalist of friends run off without telling anyone? Is there some big apple family secret? Will we finally know where her parents have been this whole time?!
ReplyDeleteOr it will probably fit with the post and turn out she was chasing after her hat. :P
Is that an Applejack episode?!
ReplyDeleteNOPE
An Applejack disappears and the others look for her episode
@wackypony
ReplyDeleteEveryone has their opinions, I don't see why you need to lash out at anyone who decides to voice them.
Sure it can get a little annoying after a while, but constantly bitching about it is far worse.
Hmmm, interesting, I wonder how Applejack centred the episode will actually be.
ReplyDeleteAn adventure episode?1 Finally!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first episode I've been looking really forward to in a long time <3
Applejack goes missing, no one notices.
ReplyDeleteApplejack no longer appears in the show.
... poor AJ.
I think Wacky isn't lashing out at anyone. Seems more like other people are lashing out at him to me. Dunno.
ReplyDeleteBest pony finally gets a season 2 episode and she's not even present...? D:
ReplyDeleteApplejack don't get no respect.
ReplyDeleteD:
i guess ill get some hate for this, but i quite like season 2 so far, the 2 part at the beginning was fun to watch (discord is best villain) and i loved lesson zero, i liked the nightmare night episode, quite cute if you ask me, sisterhooves social was quite enjoyable, rarity is my 2nd fav pony lol. cutie pox was hilarious, may the best pet win was pure epic, Mare-do-well was funny and about where i like the show to be, sweet and elite was epic if not just for twilights dancing and pinkies "party cannon!" do i need to go over secret to my excess? and the holiday ep last week was just amazing. im sorry, but i have high hopes for episode 12-14 and beyond lol
ReplyDelete@Heavybull I agree, I've enjoyed all of the episodes thus far, especially the two parter and Lesson Zero.
ReplyDelete@BornIn1142
ReplyDeleteAs annoying as it is to see all the damn time, all he seems good at is whining and bitching, so just ignore him.
One of the minority who has AJ as a favorite pony, thank goodness we're getting a an AJ focused episode!
ReplyDeleteNow this is quite the news to wake up to. New episode with AJ! As some of you guys have said, I'm not gonna try to make any predictions on this or anything. Besides, I haven't been around long enough to make a prediction on any of the episodes. Yeah, it'll be a long wait, but I'm sure it'll be worth it. In my mind, none of season 2 has disappointed. But that's just me.
ReplyDeleteWhy all the Applehate? AJ is an awesome character.
ReplyDeleteAlso about the episode numbers, I'm assuming one set of numbers is production order and the other is television order. Originally Hearth's Warming Eve had a larger number than it should of, my guess is that DHX were assuming a faster airing schedule, so HWE would have aired as the xmas/festive episode. But then the Hub put in some more weeks with no poni, so HWE would have ended up in 2012 if they had kept the production order. So the Hub aired HWE out of order to make it just before xmas. That then results in production numbers being different from television order numbers.
If you think that's confusing, try getting your head around the Futurama production numbers vs Fox's USA TV order, it's chaotic. When downloading an episode, I have no idea which number scheme the uploader is using.
so it will be like "Applejack meets Candlejack"? i find it very unli
ReplyDeleteOoh. An adventure episode?
ReplyDeleteAJ needs love too *sniff* :(
ReplyDeleteWriters, Y U no like Applejack?
Anyway hopefully she'll get more screen time than simply "disappear" in the episode, I would rage so hard as a loyal AJ fan.
@Marcello Locatelli
ReplyDeleteWho is this candleja
@Eclipse
ReplyDeleteAnd then everyone rages about how that's not how the meme works. XD
Ya gotta say his FULL name before you get kidnapped!!!
@Chaoyll
ReplyDeleteYeah, whatever. How about we don't whine and bitch about Wacky?
I fear it might be an auxiliary role like in sisterhooves social. I know it might destroy the suspense, but maybe it will be done from a dual perspective AJ and the other 5
ReplyDeleteAJ fans shouldn't worry, if it's anything like "A Dog and Pony Show", which the synopsis was 'Rarity gets kidnapped by a group called the Diamond Dogs and the rest of her freinds have to save her.' Odds are, it's going to be a similar situation to that. The friends are trying to find her and we cut to them, but the majority is probably going to be with Applejack and learning why she ran away.
ReplyDeleteJourney? Holy dark matter of derp, are we going to get an adventure episode for once?
ReplyDeleteI wish we'd get some big scale conflict with the mane 6 on one side of it.
And you know what? This heralds a lot of Star Wars-esque transitions!
@wackypony
ReplyDelete"i don't consider her anymore goddamned important than any of the other mane 6. quit trying to assign who's more fucking important cause you're missing the point of the show."
No, you're missing the point of the show, you asshole. You're just sitting here bitching and whining about everything. How you feel the season is disappointing, how you aren't happy with various ideas you have about this episode that hasn't even aired yet, and now you set about putting other people down because they make perfectly constructive points.
Do me a favour, please. Consider it your good deed for the day. Either shut up and stop posting your negative bullshit and berating others, or actively do your best to write something positive for once in your life.
wait a minute... Applejack the most reliable, the strongest in the mane 6 and the most mature pony just suddenly disappearing?
ReplyDeleteholy shit this is gonna be awesome
now if you'll excuse, I'm gonna be jumping with glee
We have an Applejack episode!
ReplyDelete...and Applejack's not in it. >_>
Oh well. Characterization!
Oh yes yes YES, an AJ episode! My one true desire!
ReplyDelete-AJ disappears
.... Well buck.
@DeRockProject
ReplyDeleteYour opinion, I don't share it.
Yes an AJ episode... I'm so bucking happy, right now.
ReplyDeleteYes, if it is an AJ episode, I predict it will either keep cutting away to see where she is and what she's doing on her own, like with Rarity in 'A Dog and Pony Show', OR it'll be like a flashback episode, where each of the other five take turns thinking about Applejack for various reasons while they try to find her. That's how I would write it, anyway...
ReplyDeleteI'd say Applejack has had a decent sized role in things so far this season. No, she hasn't had her "own" episode, but she's still coming in well above Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy in supporting roles.
ReplyDeleteIf one recognizes that Twilight's role has been pulled back from what it would have been compared to last season, then really only Rarity has garnered a bigger role this season (helped by the fact that she steals so many scenes even in the ensemble episodes.)
Arguably Dash should get that title, as she has had two episodes pretty much all to herself, with no equal co-star (Sweetie Belle should get co-starring credit for Sisterhooves Social) which is more than can be said for any of the other five (Twilight was the lead of Nightmare Night, but it was all about and driven by Luna, making Lesson Zero the only full-on Twilight episode). However, I honestly don't think Dash works best in that position, and airing those episodes so closely together limited their impact on my impressions of the season so far.
I think Applejack could carry the lead role well, but there's no doubt she makes a really solid supporting character, and a valuable one at that in that she doesn't bring a ton of her own baggage to work into things. Even if she's not on screen much for this coming episode, there's always the chance to focus on what she means to the other five, which is pretty juicy stuff as well, and could illustrate her importance to the show just as well or better than if she spent the who,e episode front and center.
Well, that was rambling. Sorry... I shouldn't talk ponies so early in the morning.
Unless the episode's about the rest of the mane cast finding AJ, and she doesn't turn up until the very end...
ReplyDeleteNah, they wouldn't do that to us.
I know AJ is far down the list in terms of top billings on episodes (sad but true), but I don't know about last. You guys don't think Fluttershy gets way less time than she does? I mean the last FS episode was that Phoenix one, and that one wasn't very good (I think so anyway).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm glad for an Applejack episode even if it is about her getting lost. She still could br the focus of the story, just like Homeward Bound.
An Applejack episode? Aw yea-
ReplyDelete"Applejack disappears"
wat. I hope this is like 'A Dog and Pony Show' and we actually SEE her.
Will ep 15 be on fluttershy?
ReplyDeleteAnd ep 16 on cheerilee ?
I can haz livestream?
ReplyDelete@wackypony
ReplyDeleteBe quiet. Have a cupcake. Get some water. Think.
You're getting disillusioned, which happens to all of us who over-think things. The problem is that, like myself, you're lashing out at other people for their happy-go-lucky outlooks which run counter to your own feelings about what should be obvious or not.
Just need to center yourself in that case, take a step back and tell yourself that your opinions matter to you, and that their opinions matter to them just as much.
And I agree, season two has been a huge letdown for me. The episodes without Lauren have just felt... flat. Like they're missing soul. The ponies are missing depth like they used to have. It's sad, but I still love ponies, and I can just let go of my other analytical functions and just try to enjoy myself.
I suggest the same.
Personally I'm not really bothered about the fact Applejack hasn't had some big starring episodes of her playing solo aside from Applebuck Season as she's not really built to be a solo star. Being the most reasonable and down-to-earth pony of the mane cast, it's no wonder she often plays second lead or important supporting role as that is what she's best at. She has few flaws that we've seen and, unless she's put into a conflict situation like Rarity in Sweet and Elite, then I doubt her existing character flaws are something that can be exploited very far. She needs other ponies to reflect herself off from, and thus I find she's been very much in her element throughout the majority of the series, even in Season 2. Seems to me most AJ fans fail to see this and that many of them seem to grossly misunderstand the basics and strengths of the character when wanting her to have a big spotlight episode where she'll be at a big disadvantage (unless something new will be introduced to the character to justify doing this).
ReplyDeleteAlso, Season 2 (based on the rating chart I've done for myself on both season episodes) seem to be pretty much in line with Season 1 in terms of great, good, average and bad episodes. The difference is really negligible in quality comparison.
@Berli
ReplyDeleteNah, a lot of us know that she's a phenomenal supporting character (which she is). We just want her to get some screentime of her own, instead of simply playing a supporting role the entire time.
WOHOOOOOOOOOIOIIIO!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy is it episode 14 (kind of)?
ReplyDeleteWhat makes it only kind of episode 14?
@snowfi6916
ReplyDeleteAll the hate because, no matter what meaning we apply to a holiday, no matter how much we get into the spirit of Christmas, we're still only human.
If someone writes something that offends us, such as wacky's less-than-optimistic comments, we respond to it in an attempt to change that opinion to something we're comfortable with. But more often than not, the catalyst to the argument stays firm in their opinion, leading to more people attacking the claim until the catalyst leaves.
That's a good chunk of the art of trolling right there. Not that it is in this situation.
almost sounds like a description from a fan fic
ReplyDelete@Alex
ReplyDeletesorry if i don't share the sentiment "This pony is so obviously better than this pony that we should rub it in people's faces all the goddamned time". I don't care much for Rarity, but I'm not gonna consistently bash Rarity.
@Jebediah Oldenheimer
ReplyDeleteit's not even anything against the show. I expect the episode to be good, but most of my enjoyment from the show comes from the fandom, and when people won't stop gushing about something, I get annoyed.
Oh I've been waiting for an Applejack episode! ^_^ And it's showing on my birthday!
ReplyDeleteEpic wsay to start 2012!
ReplyDeleteApplejack discovers the clues to the existence of a new member of the Orange family. She goes to Manehatten one last time. The others follow to find her. Big City hijinks ensue.
ReplyDeleteApplejack was kidnapped by owlbears and has gone missing! Are you a bad enough dude to save the Applejack?
ReplyDeleteI'm actually really excited for this! AJ's one of my favorite ponies, and I'm disappointed about how little development she's had so far.
ReplyDeleteI can live with the wait; I'm excited to see this one! :)

ReplyDeleteIm slightly disappointed at the community being so eager to rip apart their expectations so quickly before seeing any more details. Chances are, if you don't like Applejack already, a whole episode dedicated to her likely won't change much.
ReplyDeleteShe's still my favorite pony, due to her element. An honest person, both in terms of being straightforward and willing to give advice to help their friends and colleagues improve, is truly a rare gem nowadays.
If something as pointless as screen time and # of episodes directly linked to her are hampering your ability to like a character, I don't really know what to say. You guys think too much, just enjoy the episodes as they are.
The expectations of the community are reaching critical mass, eventually we are bound to have a sub-community claiming the show's 'Getting worse, and should stop', before then, id like you to think about how much effort is being put into the series as a whole as opposed to all the other bland, empty series out there.
@Kayriel You might be overthinking it as well - maybe you expected a decrease in quality after Lauren's influence on the show has dropped. There's a lot to why the new episodes are how they are and I wouldn't "bury" FiM in the fashion you do just yet.
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to remind you that we all have encased Season 1's memories in an enormous golden shell of awesome and that it's hardly possible to hit that level (especially with what already has been estabilished in S1). I'm pretty sure S1 and S2 don't differ as much as you'd think.
I don't wish to deprive you of your opinion, but you seem like a reasonable person and...yeah. I too have my concerns.
OH $#!7. New theory.
ReplyDeleteApplejack discovers her parents are alive.

ReplyDeleteI NEED THE FING LIVE STREAM GIVE IT TO ME
ReplyDeleteApplejack gets an episode and it is about when she isn't on screen. That seems strangely meta to me, kind of like how Lesson Zero was about there not being a moral that week.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'ma be BRUTALLY honest with you guys.
ReplyDeleteApplejack's character was not made for lead roles. Notice that in many episodes, she's sort of a second-in-command for the Mane-6, and just works better when not the center of attention.
@wackypony
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've been in that situation before. Plenty of times.
Like hearing people talk about Homestuck. Guess what? I don't fucking care about Homestuck, shut up about it. It's a boring as hell webcomic, and the people who like it can go take a long walk into a nuclear reactor. But I digress.
@Kayriel
ReplyDeleteFaust was still around during most of the writing process for Season 2.
so any perceived lack of depth in characters has nothing to do with Faust departure as that is mostly writing stuff.
I think you just expected the show to get worse when you heard she left so it did to you.
personally I can't see much difference between most S1 and S2 episodes in quality, and over analysing ruins both seasons.
There's probably gonna be some interludes showing what AJ is really doing, or it'll explain it in the beginning or something. It'll have AJ in some way shape or form.
ReplyDelete*cries* PLEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASE I NEED THE LIVE STREEEAAAAM
ReplyDeleteThank goodness! We really Needed another episode about the best pony.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait. :D
ReplyDeleteInteresting premise... I can't guess what they're going to do with it... excited!
ReplyDeleteARE MY COMMENTS INVISIBLE?????????? IM BEGGING YOOOUUUUU
ReplyDelete"Disappears" doesn't necessarily mean "no screen time", but I'm still worried.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to be a downer but with a name like last roundup and AJ disappearing do you think Granny Smith dies and AJ needs to got be alone for a while?
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be the first time that a kids show talked seriously about death...
My own guess, but in "A Dog and Pony show", Rarity was missing and her POV was shared somewhat equally (maybe a bit more) with the rest of the Mane 6+1. So maybe it'll be something like that. I know I'll be pissed if they didn't show AJ's POV at all.
ReplyDelete@DeRockProject

ReplyDeleteSomeone prep the moon cannon. JIC.
ReplyDeleteok thank you pony who answered
ReplyDeleteAlrighty then...
ReplyDeleteI know AJ seems to lack episodes focused on her, but there's been a big emphasis on the Apple family this season, so I don't exactly think she's been cheated. AJ is sort of the straight man(pony) of the group, the levelheaded one that tends to keep things grounded compared to her friends. She hasn't really had much focused on her because she tends to shine in less overt ways.
ReplyDeleteRantings aside, I'm really interested in this episode. I'm hoping (but not counting on) her disappearance has something to do with what happened to her, Big Mac, and Applebloom's parents.
FLUTTERSHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI WANT FLUTTERSHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Y U NO MAKE A FLUTTERSHY EPISODE ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
Um, I don't want to offend anypony with my opinion, but I personally think everypony is mounting expectations that can never be met. I'm sure the writers truly appreciate the fanbase, but they just can't build up each episode to fit what fans desire. So, Trixie can't make an unplanned cameo, nor can Derpy Hooves or any other fanon-named character. Let's remember this is about the mane six.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, too harsh?
Applejack episodes are rare, but she is a very strong co-star. She has a nice chunk of the dialogue and her character has been developed quite well, in my opinion. You can't cross your fingers and hope every episode brings some secret tragedy. This show is pure fun. I'm not saying it can hit a heartstring every now and then, but it's fun.
Then again, it's just my opnion. Please don't stop watching "MLP:FiM" just because it doesn't meet your expectations.
Didn't the MLP DVD include this episode, when is that out, or is already out?
ReplyDelete@Pinkie IS Best Pony
ReplyDeleteDarling, I think most of us just come here for news. Asking everyone in turn the same question might indeed get you what you want, but it also clutters up the thread and makes reading through it a bit difficult for the rest of us. I think some serious digging on your part might be necessary rather than letting someone else do it.
Sorry, don't mean to be mean, just saying.
Thanks, dear. =D
So we FINALLY get some confirmation about that episode! And it's an Applejack episode!
ReplyDeleteNow all we need is a Fluttershy episode.
Hi! New to EQD. What's up guys? Anyway I just wanted to say I'm excited for an AJ episode. It will be great to have another adventure type episode. I agree that AJ is probably the best at being a supporting role. It's not always fun being the down to earth character. Still can't wait! Woohoo.
ReplyDeletewow, this sounds exciting^^
ReplyDelete@SassyJazzRazzMaTazz
ReplyDeleteWelcome!
Finally! but an AJ episode without AJ? still sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, that sounds like an episode that REVOLVES around AppleJack, but it doesn't sound like she'll be in it much. If that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteAs a devout AJ fan, this news makes me want to keep smiling forever.
ReplyDeleteYes, she's a great support character, she is level headed, but all of the characters have room to grow, none of them are perfect.
Can't wait :D
I don't care if this is/isn't an AJ centered episode (I'd love if it is), I love adventure episodes.
ReplyDelete*Fluttershy squee.
Sorry to say that, but: ARE YOU SERIOUS GUYS!?
ReplyDeleteDid you really have any doubt, that there would be an AJ episode!? *facehoof*
Actually, IMO, I think Applejack is best when she's ragging on Rainbow Dash. Seems like Applejack and Rarity have mellowed out.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how many bronies will wind up in the hospital falling out of their chairs if it DOES turn out to be about her parents.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be just like when Rarity disappeared on nightmare night, but ponies actually care about Applejack enough to go looking for her.
ReplyDeleteI'm really sort of stunned that everypony's guessing either we'll see what Applejack's up to whilst missing ala "A Dog and Pony Show", or else that she'll simply be the catalyst for the episode's events and otherwise not be at all present, when the first thing I think of when I read that summary is, "this is an ideal opportunity for the other characters to reflect on how important Applejack is to each of them, and how even though she may not have any special powers or flashy magic she's still an invaluable friend to each and every one of them."
ReplyDeleteApplejack's my favorite pony, and my heart is literally racing with excitement at reading that summary and imagining the possibilities. Obviously, I'm not going to claim my personal theory as the One Truth as to how the ep'll play out; if there's one thing FiM always does pleasantly well, it's surprise me. But I sure can't wait to see this one even so. :)
LOL Applejack disappears in an Applejack episode. (Laughs even more.) hehehe my friend who like applejack is gonna be pissed.
ReplyDelete@Quezacotl
ReplyDeletei see AJ as having the potential to be the least level headed when presented with something entirely foreign. i.e. Zecora in Bridle Gossip.
Aw cmon, Homestuck is awesome! How could you call a web animation series boring? Oh, the comic? Well, that's understandable I guess. But you don't diss the animation. That's fucking awesome.
ReplyDelete@wackypony
ReplyDeleteGuess who doesn't care about your opinion, Wackyteen?
This guy.
Re-read what I wrote looking for the humour in it. Or don't. I don't rightly care.
Just having fun, is all. You wanna compare me to the guys who did Brony Pizza Hunt, go ahead, but you'll still be wrong. LOL.
@80PercentBrony
ReplyDeletei have no idea what they did or how to compare you to them... cause i didn't watch that video.
I'm still antsy to find out what that early-revealed episode is going to be about, if I recall right, episode 19, Putting Your Hoof Down.
ReplyDeleteooo, a mystery episode
ReplyDeletehopefully it will stop my silent ponyville dreams
@SassyJazzRazzMaTazz
ReplyDeleteWell, let me be the first to unofficaly welcome you to EQD - teh best blog about ponies.
Also, Applejack, woo.
applejack is missing episode.....
ReplyDelete@wackypony
ReplyDeleteEh, it's for the best.
Basically, they represented the fandom in the worst possible manner in public. Nothing but fuel for hate, really. It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.
Don't know if you celebrate it, but merry Christmas. =)
@80PercentBrony
ReplyDeleteAHHH don't mention that video.
im still trying to convince myself it doesn't exist.....
@80PercentBrony
ReplyDeletesame to you. sorry if i came across as dickish. i've only slept for 3 hours in the past day and most of my comments were made before i went to sleep.

I haven't been this excited since Season 2 started.
what's Brony Pizza Hunt? great now I have to find out
ReplyDeleteAppleJack episode? ...IMPOSSIBRU!
ReplyDeleteToo many questions... there's just... too many questions...
ReplyDeleteI'm off for some festive drinks, I wish everypony a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/Hearth's Warming Eve. Have a great one! x
ReplyDelete...and then everypony died.
ReplyDeleteTwice.
She's probably just asleep in the barn.
ReplyDeleteThe End.
At least the Second Season won't end so quickly with this type of spacing out. Stop complaining about the wait times.... At least we get ponies irregardless of the spacing of these episodes.
ReplyDeleteApplejaaaaaaack~!! <3 <3
ReplyDeleteWell, *I* at least am very excited for this episode, and I'm afraid that's all that matters to me~ =^.^=
What makes it "Kind Of[sic]"?
ReplyDeletebullcrap! Applejack appeared so many times already! -_-
ReplyDeleteAJ disappears?
ReplyDelete@Harwick
ReplyDeleteIt's likely she's been pony-napped by the sinister Pear Mafia.
Applejack sucks.
ReplyDeleteMy Little Pony sucks.
The toys suck.
Bronies suck.
Haters suck.
Wacky sucks.
80% sucks.
Season 2 sucked.
Rarity sucks.
This episode will suck.
Binding of Isaac sucks.
Minecraft sucks.
Terraria sucks.
Notch sucks.
Yogscast sucks.
Happy Tree Friends sucks.
Everyone go fucking kill yourself.
You are useless and nobody gives a fuck about you.
Sleeping is overrated.
What I hope to see from this episode:
ReplyDeleteApplejack has plans with one or more ponies, and doesn't show up; this prompts a search for her during which the rest of the mane 6 talk to Apple Bloom, Big Macintosh, and Granny Smith, learning bit by bit what's happened to AJ. I'm hoping for backstory into the Apple family parents, maybe the day is like the anniversary of the day they died (if they did). Good way to end the episode? Mane 6 find Applejack crying in front of two tombstones, and a silent group hug is shared with AJ in the center.
Being a kid's show, it'll probably end up being something like her getting hurt/trapped/lost trying to round up (hence the name) a calf that got separated from the rest of the cow herd that apparently lives near Ponyville.
Since AppleJack is my favorite Pony, This could be one of the most important pony episodes of season 2. This Should be EPIC!!!!! ^_^
ReplyDelete@Pinkie IS Best Pony
ReplyDeleteStream will are here, wait for process:

@DeRockProject
ReplyDeleteNo, really; tell us how you really feel
What TIME is it? ...
ReplyDeleteI'm still not sure what kind of character development this will have if it is an Applejack centered episode. She just doesn't seem to have any character flaws that weren't already discussed and resolved in Season 1. The only thing I can think of is a "My parents are ALIVE?!" episode. But that would mean that the rest of the Apple family may get involved as well. Anypony have any ideas?
@Octavia
ReplyDeleteAnother imposter Octavia... *sigh*
@DeRockProject
ReplyDeletewow, your nice.
