After some delay due to a certain rise of depressions, here are now my belated afterthoughts on "Surf and/or Turf":

- Right at the beginning of the episode, I noticed something interesting about Sweetie Belle's reaction over it that they get send to Mount Aris. After she said "Wow, that's almost", she paused for a very short moment and only then continued with "off the table!". And she was flinching slightly during that pause and seemed confused.

A bit of a change of pace: From now on, I will combine my review of the latest episodes with the mock itself. Thus, before I get to mocking his “review”, my own two cents on the subject of “Grannies Gone wild”, the most unsubtle attempt of the writers of MLP to get crap under the radar.
