Another Saturday, another episode! Thanks to the britbongs we got the finale early this week, but that shouldn't stop us from enjoying our regularly scheduled streamed episode.
Today's episode may or may not tell the story of how AJ killed her parents.
S06E23 - Where the Apple Lies ; written by Dave Rapp
When Apple Bloom tells a white lie to cover up a mistake, Applejack shares the story of how she came to value honesty after telling a series of lies that almost destroyed the farm and landed the whole Apple family in the hospital.

I think whatever applejack did caused Big Mac to become more quiet and laid back, and it prolly won't actually have to do much with their parents.
>>28602561
I highly doubt it as well, as with their ages being what they are in the preview it would be inconsistent with Cutie Mark Chronicles.
That synopsis had us going though.
>>28602575
Shouldn't 'Just friends' be crossed out as well? Or is it cos it was mostly one-sided.
>>28602530
As for the preview and the synopsis, it seems that an accident caused by Applejack left a permanent emotional scar on Big Mac. I'm absolutely not OK with this. I literally can't imagine any way in which something so fucking twisted can make for a good episode. Does Dave Rapp hate Ashleigh Ball or something? Jesus, it looks like he thinks that her characters deserve dreadful episodes.
I couldn't be any less hyped/10.
Did everyone forget that people thought this would be an Apple Bloom episode? Should I just lose all hope for that right now and expect one big cruel flashback?
>>28602580
I think we had enough bedroom eyes and blushes in the finale to mark if off, but I'm waiting for the Discovery sticky before marking.
>>28602575
We had definitely a "just friends" with this. Trixie and Starlight would be just a shipping wish fulfillment while fluttercord was intentional and hinted as both sided.
5 hours remaining!
>>28602619
Well who gives a shit about that, Flutters is a bitch so it's cool.
>>28602633
Their next episode in S7 will be probably about pre marriage pregnancy
>>28602638
>Pre marriage pregnancy
You know Hasbro doesn't have the balls to do such thing.
>>28602603
Well, at least Apple Bloom had a good episode this season, On Your Marks. She even got a solo song.
On the other hand, Applejack's previous episode was ADO. And now, this.
>>28602646
Shut the fuck fuck Appulfag
Always bitching if you get episodes, always bitching if you don't.
>>28602648
You deserve a shitty episode. You deserve it so fucking much.
>>28602646
Yeah, you're right. A good focus episode with a solo song was very nice, but when it comes to secondary or even background roles, she's been pretty left out, this season, so I was hyped for this, to finally see her again, not doing CMC stuff. I'll just try to be happy for that much, even if the story takes up 90% of the episode. Still kind of hoping for something nice for her, anyway.
>>28602707
Lets just wait how the episode plays out first, okay?
Everyone got their asses on fire when Flutter Brutter was announced and then the majority of people loved it.
>>28602715
>The majority of people loved it
The majority of people always vote high because they love to suck Hasbro cock unconditionally.
>>28602715
>the majority of people loved it.
In all seriousness, I can't understand why would anyone want to see something like pic related in My Little Pony.
Both Flutter Brutter and Newbie Dash were episodes where Schadenfreude had a very important role. And, yeah, I totally get that people can like that anywhere else, but out of all the places, I really, really don't want to see shit like this on this show. It's depressing as fuck and ruins the fantasy setting.
And this episode will be again a Schadenfreude fest. Dave Rapp can't write anything else.
>>28602737
I think the writers want people to stop fantasizing and improve in real life.
Which is fucking retarded, because if we are here is for a reason.
They probably think mental illness and depression can be cured with a fucking show for little girls.
>>28602815
Well, that wasn't exactly what I was talking about. With "Schadenfreude" I meant that in both episodes you were supposed to laugh at two characters who were having a bad time. That's pretty common in fiction, but I think that it's too mean-spirited for this show, it has no fucking sense to use something like that here, and Dave Rapp not only uses it, he gives it a prominent role in the plot of all his episodes. That's plainly awful.
But I agree with what you said too. Older episodes were meant for children, that was the appeal. An episode where the moral is "stop whining and get a fucking job" definitely isn't meant for children. At least this messages, albeit useless and stupid, have good intentions, that's why I didn't care too much about them. But definitely I think this kind of shit shouldn't be on the show either. Anyway, I don't think today's episode will have one of those self-improvement bullshit messages.
>>28602815
That... is a little too fan-centric view of it.
At best you argue that "Flutter Brutter" would not exist without the adult fandom, but that would be because the show itself wouldn't have lasted six seasons to begin with, just in time to make The issue relevant. Besides, even if it was sonehow true, while some people do suffer of depression and other mental illnesses, there are some others that, simply put, are hobest-to-God good-for-nothing lazy fucks
>>28602882
Like /r9k/ said
Even ants have a group of useless members that never do shit, even if the workers die.
>>28602530
>now there's a pony whi knows how to put his back into a problem.
What did he mean?
>>28602867
I thought the moral of the episode was "When there's someone who can't have confidence there are three kinds of way you can help." which we saw from Flutter's parents, Fluttershy forcing Zeph to work, and Fluttershy watching over him with RD.
>>28602900
That's cool and all, but writers fail to realize that there are plenty of homeless people in our world.
Sometimes people don't work even if their life is on the line.
Some people just don't function in society for shit, no matter what you do with them.
>>28602913
More like Zephyr was given all of these different opportunities to work that those in poverty don't get
>>28602900
Again, I see the good intentions there, but I don't get the point. Why was there an episode about this? Was it for the little girl's in the fandom to support her older brothers? No, it wasn't, it was a message for grown ass men. Why do I have to be lectured about "my" issues on a children's cartoon? If I wanted cheap psychology about adulthood problems, I wouldn't be watching MLP, I'd be reading "Who Moved My Cheese?" or some shit like that. If these messages had been always there, I wouldn't be complaining right now, but they weren't there. The writers replaced problems that a little girl could find relatable with problems that only grown people can suffer. Why?
>>28602940 (me)
Actually, never mind. As I said before, I'm pretty sure that today's episode won't have this problem, so probably this isn't the best thread to discuss this.
Right now, I'm only worried about Dave Rapp's lust for Schadenfreude.
HORSEY!
>>28602922
That's true too. But most hobos have mental illness or are broken in some way.
2 hours until episode!
>>28603062
Sure everyone's wasted from the anniversary sticky.
I JUST got to watch the finale and went to the discussion thread to praise and complain and now's the time for the NEXT PONY EPISODE holy shit why can't I hold all these horses
>>28603089
Goddamn I wish they hadn't leaked it.
>>28603090
Stay mad
And btw tiny pop is from sony, they probably leaked them on purpose, because hasbro gave sony the finger with the pony movie. Sweet revenge.
>>28603123
Small price to pay for what could've been Smurfs.
So what did Applejack do to mentally scar Big Mac to the point where he never says anything beyond eeyup and eenope?
>>28603139
"You're adopted"
Mac was molested
Dropped when he was a foal
Tried to be a monk, got the oath of silence, stuck when he left the monastery
They couldn't pay Peter New enough.
>>28603139
Probably nothing and it is just an excuse so his voice actor never talks, remember his voice actor is a literal nigger, and since hasbro has shown to be racist since bridle gossip, well.
>>28603166
>literal nigger
>LITERAL
>>28603179
He is a loser nobody that is also black, so yes literal nigger in every sense of the word.
Fug, should I watch the finale now. Will anybody be here when it was saposed to air?
>>28603202
Considering I can count the pixels on one hand in the current version, watching the original air date would be worth it if only for the increase in visual quality.
>>28603208
>watching even worse quality lagging stream
nah
>>28603215
Who said you had to watch it in a stream?
You can always wait for the hd riff.
>>28603226
then I can wait 1 day for itunes rip
>>28603232
Is it even worth it to watch itunes rip?
I watched them sometimes and apart from minor color corrections (that seem autistic as hell imo) I didn't notice a difference worth the wait.
>>28603237
The encoding quality difference is visible to the naked eye.
Not being able to tell the difference is a sign of retardation and/or autism.
>>28603241
Less than an hour remaining!
>>28603252
>there's a sticky
MOOODDSS
>>28602583
Whelp. I'm starting to think that I'm a jinx. Just kill me already.
