It was January 28th, we had just survived a mini-break from episodes, and EQD was born out of the fires of boredom. The chain of pony threads on the Comics and Cartoons 4chan board was nonstop, and keeping up was near impossible with the huge amount of stuff being created. We needed a place to spotlight the best (and back then a 300 word fanfic was the best), and blog style seemed like a good way to do it. Who would have thought it would grow to the level it has today?
On to the episode! Rainbow Dash and Applejack never really did a whole lot of interacting outside of a few skits across the last 12 episodes. An upgrade to their friendship was inevitable, thanks to their shared interest in physical activities and competition. Fall Weather Friends really shined in this area, and showed just how good the comedic chemistry between the two really is.
We saw a few Looney Tunes style moments throughout the season, but this one took it to the next level. Everything from sticky pools to sign spinning was used as they cheated their way to victory. Classic cartoon fans everywhere rejoiced.
And who could forget that Twilight Sparkle is
the answer to the ultimate questions of life, the universe, and everything?
Get the episode below the break, and toss your first time reactions in there!
