This one was probably my favourite S3 episode.

@nerthos honestly, i haven't seen a s3 episode that really jumped up there into my top favorites, but this is definitely one.
-
@mashuga31 The other ones weren't bad, but they didn't stand up either. This one did.
-
@nerthos same, this one and too many pinkies are my favorite so far.
-
@wafers Too many pinkies was good, but I'm biaised towards this one because I like the two cool pegasi more than pinkie.
-
@nerthos I would definitely say they weren't bad. But "Too many Pinkie Pies" was... exactly that xD And while I really like Babs Seed, and it had a great moral, I think it was sorta rushed. Either that or babs is a very impulsive character. And then with how much they tried to fit into Magic Duel, as much as I went wild over the references, it just seemed a bit much for a single episode. This one not only grabbed a part of the story i've been wanting to see as a fan, but also had really even pacing. And I think that's what I love about it the most.
-
@mashuga31 The episode I meant. Babs herself seems conflicted with her morals haha
-
@mashuga31 I didn't like Babs Seed that much. The CMC were doing things right when they booby trapped the apple, and they were about to deliver justice until they suddenly changed their minds. Magic Duel could have been better if they didn't try to fit so much in a single episode, yeah.
-
@nerthos Thats pretty true, but honestly it just kinda speaks out for them. And things definitely turned out a lot better than could have been said if their plan went through. It's possible that she could have realized that she'd been a total apples the entire time, but it's also possible that it just would have caused a rift between cousins. No one would have found out babs was being bullied and she might have went back to manehatten even worse off than she was in ponyville. But most importantly, CMC East would never have been established :D
-
@mashuga31 But at what price? Babs just became evil out of fear, and as such, she should have been punished.
-
@nerthos I feel they touched on this. And actually I just realized was wrong. Applejack told them she was being bullied, thats why they went to stop it. What applejack didn't know was that she was being a bully in turn. Applebloom could probably take the lesson she learned even further as applejack seems completely oblivious that DT and SS are her tormentors. They wanted to deliver justice, but the real injustice would be punishing without teaching. If their plan had gone through, the lesson would be - don't f*** with us. Instead, the lesson for babs was to be honest with herself about what she's been doing to them. It may all be a matter of perspective too. We don't know much backstory on Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, other than they're obviously rich and pampered. It's probabe they just think they're better than everyone else. But there's also the possibility that there's something else going on. After all, Filthy Rich doesn't seem too pleased with his daughters behavior in S2E12.
