S6E20: "Viva Las Pegasus" · 6:21pm Sep 17th, 2016
The second half of Season Six seems to be doing pretty well, and this episode is no exception. It's about time Fluttershy and Applejack had a team-up (well, there's "Bats!", but they're at each other's throats for most of that) and it's done nicely. 'Shy in particular was great this time around; these writers seem like keepers. The layered nature of the reveal was interesting, though inevitably a little hurried in a programme this length. I liked the fact that Flim and Flam weren't... well, that's spoiler territory. Impressive visuals throughout, too. A really good episode! ★★★★
The ending especially got a chuckle out of me.
4214519 I liked it too. It seems to be a little controversial -- some people don't like the idea of AJ in particular taking part in a con, even for a good cause. But I thought it was funny.
The layers of deception reminded me a bit of "The Sting." Just a bit.
I loved AJ's stubbornness in this episode.
Appleshy is a pleasing combination, like scones and jam.
4215804 Interesting comparison! You do have a point, though.
4217511 They work so well together that I really, really wish they'd been allowed to do so before. Hopefully they'll get some more material before the show ends (whenever that may be!).
