The Royal Sisters stole the show this episode. Seeing Celestia as a thrill seeker and Luna want to relax for a change were surprising. Though seeing that Celestia is scared of chickens was probably the biggest surprise.
By the way, congratulations on getting all your reactions back up. Hopefully TH-cam will leave you alone now. I can’t wait to see your reactions to the last half of the season. I also hope you react to Sunset’s Backstage Pass, but that one is completely up to you. Good luck avoiding all spoilers for early releases, though if you are interested I think I know which episodes of the second half of the season that have been revealed so far you want to see blind. So far I think you’ll want to see episodes 14, 17, and 18 blind.
Celestia and Luna wanted to spend some time out of the castle. They both had vacation ideas but Celestia's ideas were tiring for Luna, and Luna's ideas were boring for Celestia. If they have reached a compromise they wouldn't have argued. Twilight and her friends are happy to take the princesses places, but they are inexperienced. Even Canter Zoom told Juniper that she has no experience to play Daring Do, but I hope there's going to be an Equestria Girls special where Canter is going to give Juniper another chance. As for my other points (it's a long list): 4:24 There's the Filly Guide camp. Rainbow must be the oldest “filly” in the Filly Guides. An episode where Lightning Dust and the Washouts are terrorizing the fillies at night, and Rainbow stops them would be good. 10:21 The white pegasus should get a selfie whit them. 10:49 Flim and Flam need a lift. Looks like after their Hearth's Warming scam, they got busted again. And it dosen't matter how many times they get busted, they never learn their lesson. 10:50 It's Capper from the movie! Are we going to see him and Klugetown in G5? 10:57 Don't make fun of her highness, or you will regret it! 11:12 They have entered the bugbear territory. Bad idea. 11:13 Attack of the royal sisters Luna Kong and Celestizilla, similar to the movie: Godzilla vs Kong next year. 11:14 They have arrived to Applewood. Good opportunity to see how movies are being made, and the actors and actresses will ask for selfies. 11:33 If there is an apple farm and a pear farm, there's got to be a peach farm. Also the brown pony really needs a haircut. 11:45 Hi Jackpot! I'm sure someday you'll be reunited with your daughter Trixie, but you're not going to be happy when you find out what she did when she was wearing the Alicorn Amulet. 12:13 Come on Luna! If Rainbow Dash enjoyed the Wild Blue Yonder you should also. 13:48 Asking for help is not a sign of weakness Twilight. 14:48 Are those cups going to be available at the Canterlot souvenir shop? 16:16 They both have new looks! Great, I like it! They should go like that to their meetings, and Rarity can give Celestia advice about punk style. 16:46 Pinkie's dad is on the picture on the left. 16:49 Good timing for a selfie. 17:35 Twilight should have used her magic to break off the swan's beak. That would have shut it up, but then the others would have been scared of her. 17:53 At first Rarity admired him, and now she dosen't. The same thing with Prince Blueblood. 18:51 Careful! Nightmare Moon's power is leaking, like the nine tailed fox's power inside Naruto. 19:12 Luna's crown appeared on her head. 21:14 The parachute had to look like that, didn't it? 21:35 Grogar's Lair is on the map. 21:51 Seriously? She fought great enemies, but she's scared of chickens? Let's hope no one will find out about this or she'll be a laughing stock. 23:34 A scene from Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1. 24:13 Hang in there Twilight, help is on it's way.
I’ve been waiting to see characters from the movie to make physical appearances within the series and seeing Capper in the background really surprised me with his cameo.
I like this episode, it’s charming and entertaining in my opinion. The fact that Celestia and Luna are paired together for a regular trip made this for an interesting story. I don’t have a problem with the two of them getting more engaged in a crisis of some sorts, in fact I’m sure they’ll be very useful for the unforeseen threat that Grogar will bring. In any case, it was nice to have these two being the center of attention again after the success of “A Royal Problem,” plus it’s always cool and cute to see the two of them grow closer as siblings.
Well, I've wanted to comment on this one for months and why not now when I'm just turning 31. (1:29) Spike from Land Before Time? What are you doing here? (and yes, I was really into Land Before Time when I was a kid, renting every movie that came out until I lost interest around movie 8) (1:45) Oh. It really IS Spike from Land Before Time!!! (2:33) Ah. It's the Guest Star Party Member that just join a fight, steal our kill and show off. On a side note, back in 1980 (for the Apple II computer), there was an computer RPG called Fracas where the world was moving independantly. NPCs and monsters could get into fights and even level up. I wish this would be featured in a more modern RPG. (3:40) Oh no. It's Tigger as the Masked Offender all over again. Let's just hope it doesn't end with a giant pot of glue. (4:48) Are you going to at least repair that wall, Princesses? (5:07) Did...did someone introduced Luna to Ogres and Oubliettes? Because they're acting exactly like in an RPG (where the main characters are the ONLY ones that can solve problems). Girls, you had over a thousand years to level grind. Get over it. (7:23) Better warn you, girls. Swans are NASTY. The smurfs can certainly confirm (In the comic "The Smurfette"). (7:40) Just like me and my family when we're on a trip. I'm the one who wants to relax more (unless we're visiting a castle or an old ruin). (8:27) So...we're getting Carlos princesses? (Carlos was a French singer who always wore flowery shirts) (8:54) "And we got to try that new modern convenience: dehydrated water. Add water and it's ready to drink. (9:38) That makes them less costly to animate (which I suspect why there wasn't that many episodes featuring the princesses). (10:35) And of course...RoADTRIP SONG!!! (11:12) I'm guessing these were made by a street artist (considering we've seen how photographs work in this universe). (12:20) And of course, Luna would love Wicked. And I have a feeling that she's love Ni No Kuni (especially the antagonist's backstory). And knowing Kristin Chenoweth did perform Wicked makes it even better. (14:30) Becoming contestants in Fort Boyard? That would fill all your thrill-seeking needs. (And that show had the best opening EVAR: th-cam.com/video/rjVt9g1_tGw/w-d-xo.html) (14:33) Heh. Close enough. Fort Boyard does have ziplines. Also, oh being a fly on the wall when Nicole Oliver recorded that line. (15:17) If that's how she reacts to the post office, I wonder how she would react to the whisky distillery that I've visited in Scotland. (16:02) And I'm pretty sure that post office also caters to stamp collectors (and I'm pretty sure Luna is one). (16:11) That's not the Sarlacc. It's the Thing stuck at the bottom of a pit. (16:45) "The Wasteland...Too minimalistic for too much money..." (18:27) Unless it's the Barber of Seville or that fictional opera from Gabriel Knight 2, I don't really care for opera either. Celestia should count herself lucky she didn't ran into Bianca Castafiore. (18:31) I'm with you, Luna. I can't stand pickles. (20:40) So Pinkie decided to go with the Flinstones way. (21:03) And of course, now their vacation hates them. (21:50) Madre de Dios! ES EL POLLO DIABLO!!! (th-cam.com/video/XbBJ-iBkDNc/w-d-xo.html) (22:40) This would be the perfect spot to watch the cloud painting from the New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. (th-cam.com/video/AMaVFEVMUeE/w-d-xo.html) (23:53) Ah nuts. Did you pour cider in the amulet, Twilight? (24:06) "Set it...off...now..." I wanted more princesses episodes, and I got my wish. And it was pretty much what I wanted. Fun coincidence. When I was on my trip in Scotland (just before I learned who the writer of that episode was), I did pick up a comic book by Gail Simone. More specifically, a Conan the Barbarian / Wonder Woman crossover. It was pretty damn good, I must say. I still want to find the rest of her Wonder Woman stuff.
Happy birthday! =D 1. Yeah, I think the last one I saw was Saurus Rock, then I kinda dropped away from it myself. 2. Definitely has the appetite of that Spike, lol 3. A real-time RPG? That’d be an awesome idea today. And it’s funny you bring up kill-stealing party members, cuz I’ve recently been watching The Runaway Guys, or rather, Chuggaaconroy, play Star Fox 64, and to get all the points you can for medals, you _have_ to steal kills from your teammates, lol 4. I definitely remember that, lol. ‘Masked Offender, awaaaay!’ 5. Remember what Daring Do had to go through when faced with property damage during heroism? 6. They’re definitely acting like they’ve had a little too much caffeine and are on a real adrenaline rush, lol. I’d love to see them play Spike and Big Mac in O&O. 7. So I’ve discovered, just like geese. They may look graceful and majestic, but apparently, they’re real pieces of work. 8. I hear that, lol 9. I just find the fact that their casual vacation attire is Hawaiian shirts but hilarious and adorable, lol 10. To think that’s actually a thing, lol 11. Yeah, I can imagine how long it takes to animate their manes and tails flowing. Plus, it’s cute. 12. And we get to hear Nicole and Aloma’s lovely voices sing it. =) 13. Makes sense, lol 14. I’ve heard of Ni No Kuni, but I never actually looked into it. I might have to one of these days. 15. Wowza! The music sounds like something out of Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger. 16. That must be the shrillest she’s ever screamed, and I can imagine the gales of laughter in the recording studio. XD 17. I’ll bet it’s an interesting process in itself. 18. I’d believe she is, lol 19. Ooh boy… 20. Had to look that one up. Broken Sword II? Fraid I’ve never heard of that one. 21. I’m not over much for opera myself, but growing up with cartoons has made me appreciate ‘Largo al factotum’ at least, lol 22. I like pickles, and cucumbers, but I only really like dill pickles, lol 23. “It’s a living.” 24. And it’s not-so-subtly rubbing it in 25. Carumba! Just be thankful it wasn’t a cockatrice. 26. Magical moment. =) 27. The sun and moon go through a lot in this show, with what happened in the Season 4 premiere and finale, the Storm King messing with them in the movie, and now this. 28. Easy there, Basil. =P I quite agree. =) Interesting. Before this episode, I’d only ever heard of Gail Simone when Linkara brings her up, like in that disgrace of a storyline, Cry for Justice, when it felt like James Robinson was taking potshots at her Birds of Prey work.
My interests are closer to Luna’s than to Celestia’s. What some people find exciting, I just find overwhelming: I can’t enjoy them, only endure them. On another note, I can’t bring myself to laugh at Celestia’s alektorophobia. I don’t have the heart to laugh when someone is genuinely afraid, even if I don’t share their phobia.
Part of me hope that this delightful ep has a knock-on effect of the Princesses getting out and showing up more in the last half of this season. Actually, most of me wants that so they can become the 12th and 13th main cast members in time for the end.
1. 0:47 "The title suggests to me that it concerns Celestia and Luna, considering what they govern. The only question is, is it something that _warrants_ yet another foreboding title?" Nope, it's just DHX messing with us again. :) 2. 1:32 "Is that a freaking Torterra?!?!" I dunno, but whatever it is I'm sure Fluttershy can handle it. 2:17 Fluttershy: "I'm only nicely _once._ Let my friends _GO!"_ Told ya. 3. 3:38 "Ohhh dear. I think I see where this is going." Mysterious Mare Do Well: Princess Edition? 3a. 4:48 AJ: "And then, they _carried_ Granny Smith across the street. There wasn't even any traffic!" OMG I WAS KIDDING! 4. 5:28 Spike: "Or maybe this was just a one-time thing and it'll never happen again." *Whoa,* getting a bit too meta there, Spike! Let's dial it back a bit. 5. 8:16 Celestia: "We'll take turns doing what we like!" TPrower: "There ya go, compromise!" Although it didn't end up working out so well, at least Celestia and Luna made more of an effort than Rarity and Rainbow did in "The End in Friend". 6. 9:50 [Apparently, real swans are a lot meaner than they're depicted.] Just like the geese. Points for realism! 7. 10:28 "No wings allowed, huh?" I guess a lot of the princesses' vacation activities wouldn't have made much sense otherwise, like the ziplining, rock climbing, and roller coaster riding. 8. 10:32 You didn't add that sound effect for the boop, did you? That was actually in the episode? 9. 10:37 "A song?! With Celestia and Luna?!" Now we can cross off hearing Nicole Oliver and Aloma Steele sing together from _our_ bucket lists. 10. 10:51 "Capper, is that you?!" Good eye! I didn't spot that film feline in _two_ viewings of this scene. 11. 11:45 [Hey, Big Bucks and Jackpot!] Trying to impress and flatter the princesses with their little fireworks display. Methinks those two may have been angling for a double date after the show. 12. 12:16 [I thought they said they were closing this ride...] Well, we saw Flim and Flam on the side of the road earlier in the song. Maybe they lost the resort, and it's under new management? 13. 12:35 The two sisters' choice of swimwear could not be more different, could it? It would seem that some parts of Luna's wardrobe still haven't been updated since her banishment. 14. 13:30 "You I trust, Fancy Pants, but them... not so much." And yet ironically, Jet Set and Upper Crust were the ones who were never rude this episode. Either they've learned to keep their attitudes in check over the last few years, or they just wouldn't dare treat those in authority the same way they would somepony on the street. 15. 13:57 "Uhh, Twi, don't you remember what you learned in the premiere? A good leader knows when to ask for help!" Twi has learned to get help from friends and authority figures, but directing subordinates is a much different role than she's accustomed to. Twi doesn't even have staff for her _own_ princess duties! 16. 14:31 Was that Ghastly Gorge? I bet the eels didn't appreciate all the noise. :) 17. 15:04 Smart pegasus, making sure he didn't get too close to the sun. ;) 18. 15:12 "I never took you as a mare of mundane pleasures, Luna." I can see why she'd be so fascinated with the post office. Because Luna always works at night, that's one place that she would have never been able to visit. 19. 15:21 "Hi, Derpy!" The only thing that could have made this episode better: Getting to hear Tabitha talk to herself here. Again. 20. 16:18 "Lookin' good, Luna!" Could this be... Rainbow Power Luna??? 21. 18:13 I hadn't noticed until someone pointed out that Luna's magic only removed the first of those burs. The rest were abruptly yanked out by her sister's magic, without warning. 22. 20:37 Pinkie: "I'm delegating!!" At first I wondered why Pinkie was the one directing Mr. Turtle Snap, and not Fluttershy. But then I recalled that Ponk has experience riding on top of larger, dumber creatures (Father Knows Beast). :D 23. 21:21 "Ooh, sunburn!" It makes total sense that the princess of the night wouldn't know anything about sunscreen. 24. 21:48 What's the matter, Princess? Chicken? XD 25. 22:48 "Hey! A shooting star!" Any relation to the one that passed behind Yona and Sandbar, do you think? 26. 23:29 The worse the fight, the sweeter the make-up. 27. 23:35 Luna: "The sun and the moon together? At the _same time?"_ Celestia: "Now where have I seen _that_ before?" I thought she meant the season 4 premiere, but the both of them were a little _tied up_ when that happened. 28. 24:15 "Don't worry, Twi. The princesses are on the way!" And this time, we actually _do_ need them to save the day. :) 29. 28:53 "...Celestia accusing Luna of never wanting to be happy." That reminds me... Their makeovers (Exuberant 80s Luna and Gothlestia) were a sort of role reversal, weren't they?
Heh, very lucky indeed, lol 1. Given how this is the last season, it should be expected, lol 2. If it's animal-related, Fluttershy's the go-to pony for the job. =P 3. But did Granny dare to try and smack either of them with her purse this time? lol 4. Only Pinkie and Discord are allowed to lean on or break the fourth wall, little buddy, though you did your fair share of it in Lesson Zero. =P 5. You can say that again, lol 6. No sugarcoating this time around, lol 7. Good point 8. I added nothing to that but the boop text. =P 9. Along with quite a few other things. =) 10. He finally made it into the show after a fashion, and still looking as fashionable as he did at the end of the movie. =) 11. Good luck, fellas. As far as we know, neither of these two have ever had any romantic inclinations towards other ponies in the show. 12. It'd serve them right. 13. Looks that way, lol 14. I'd hope so, but it's indeed a very ironic role reversal. 15. That's true. She doesn't even have guards for her castle 16. I should think not. I also think that's the shrillest Nicole's voice has ever been. XD 17. Pfft. 18. Fair point, lol 19. That would've been funny, lol 20. I think so. XD 21. Yeowch... 22. Pfft, nice callback, and an appropriate jab at Sludge. XD 23. And Celestia probably didn't think she'd ever be out in daylight for too long, so she never thought to tell her. 24. I shouldn't mock her too badly, but oh, the fics this is sure to spawn. 25. Well, if it's specifically reserved for special moments, then perhaps. 26. Well said. =) 27. Pffft. 28. Finally, something actually within their realm of expertise. 29. Good point, lol
@@TPrower Most of the recently released episodes are very entertaining, they should be watched blind, most of them if not all in my opinion. Will you be reacting soon to episode 14?
You're right, but this is basically a lawyer-friendly torterra in a land of ponies whose diets would give a normal pony a terrible case of colic at best. I'm not surprised anymore.
"We take turns doing what we like"
Lovely thought. Anyone with siblings immediately facepalmed
As much as I love seeing Celestia all goth like, he show is aware that a tear tattoo means you killed someone right.
The Royal Sisters stole the show this episode. Seeing Celestia as a thrill seeker and Luna want to relax for a change were surprising. Though seeing that Celestia is scared of chickens was probably the biggest surprise.

10:57 Don't make fun of her highness, or you will regret it!

I realize it's pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online?
@Larry Elisha Flixportal
@Owen Walter Thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it !!
@Larry Elisha You are welcome =)
20:40-Plastic isn't good for turtles if I am not mistaken
Well, I've wanted to comment on this one for months and why not now when I'm just turning 31.
(1:29) Spike from Land Before Time? What are you doing here?
(and yes, I was really into Land Before Time when I was a kid, renting every movie that came out until I lost interest around movie 8)
(1:45) Oh. It really IS Spike from Land Before Time!!!
(2:33) Ah. It's the Guest Star Party Member that just join a fight, steal our kill and show off.
On a side note, back in 1980 (for the Apple II computer), there was an computer RPG called Fracas where the world was moving independantly. NPCs and monsters could get into fights and even level up. I wish this would be featured in a more modern RPG.
(3:40) Oh no. It's Tigger as the Masked Offender all over again. Let's just hope it doesn't end with a giant pot of glue.
(4:48) Are you going to at least repair that wall, Princesses?
(5:07) Did...did someone introduced Luna to Ogres and Oubliettes? Because they're acting exactly like in an RPG (where the main characters are the ONLY ones that can solve problems).
Girls, you had over a thousand years to level grind. Get over it.
(7:23) Better warn you, girls. Swans are NASTY. The smurfs can certainly confirm (In the comic "The Smurfette").
(7:40) Just like me and my family when we're on a trip. I'm the one who wants to relax more (unless we're visiting a castle or an old ruin).
(8:27) So...we're getting Carlos princesses? (Carlos was a French singer who always wore flowery shirts)
(8:54) "And we got to try that new modern convenience: dehydrated water. Add water and it's ready to drink.
(9:38) That makes them less costly to animate (which I suspect why there wasn't that many episodes featuring the princesses).
(10:35) And of course...RoADTRIP SONG!!!
(11:12) I'm guessing these were made by a street artist (considering we've seen how photographs work in this universe).
(12:20) And of course, Luna would love Wicked.
And I have a feeling that she's love Ni No Kuni (especially the antagonist's backstory).
And knowing Kristin Chenoweth did perform Wicked makes it even better.
(14:30) Becoming contestants in Fort Boyard?
That would fill all your thrill-seeking needs.
(And that show had the best opening EVAR: th-cam.com/video/rjVt9g1_tGw/w-d-xo.html)
(14:33) Heh. Close enough. Fort Boyard does have ziplines.
Also, oh being a fly on the wall when Nicole Oliver recorded that line.
(15:17) If that's how she reacts to the post office, I wonder how she would react to the whisky distillery that I've visited in Scotland.
(16:02) And I'm pretty sure that post office also caters to stamp collectors (and I'm pretty sure Luna is one).
(16:11) That's not the Sarlacc. It's the Thing stuck at the bottom of a pit.
(16:45) "The Wasteland...Too minimalistic for too much money..."
(18:27) Unless it's the Barber of Seville or that fictional opera from Gabriel Knight 2, I don't really care for opera either.
Celestia should count herself lucky she didn't ran into Bianca Castafiore.
(18:31) I'm with you, Luna. I can't stand pickles.
(20:40) So Pinkie decided to go with the Flinstones way.
(21:03) And of course, now their vacation hates them.
(21:50) Madre de Dios! ES EL POLLO DIABLO!!! (th-cam.com/video/XbBJ-iBkDNc/w-d-xo.html)
(22:40) This would be the perfect spot to watch the cloud painting from the New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. (th-cam.com/video/AMaVFEVMUeE/w-d-xo.html)
(23:53) Ah nuts. Did you pour cider in the amulet, Twilight?
(24:06) "Set it...off...now..."
I wanted more princesses episodes, and I got my wish. And it was pretty much what I wanted.
Fun coincidence. When I was on my trip in Scotland (just before I learned who the writer of that episode was), I did pick up a comic book by Gail Simone. More specifically, a Conan the Barbarian / Wonder Woman crossover. It was pretty damn good, I must say. I still want to find the rest of her Wonder Woman stuff.

7. So I’ve discovered, just like geese. They may look graceful and majestic, but apparently, they’re real pieces of work.
8. I hear that, lol
9. I just find the fact that their casual vacation attire is Hawaiian shirts but hilarious and adorable, lol
10. To think that’s actually a thing, lol
11. Yeah, I can imagine how long it takes to animate their manes and tails flowing. Plus, it’s cute.
12. And we get to hear Nicole and Aloma’s lovely voices sing it. =)
13. Makes sense, lol
14. I’ve heard of Ni No Kuni, but I never actually looked into it. I might have to one of these days.
15. Wowza! The music sounds like something out of Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger.
16. That must be the shrillest she’s ever screamed, and I can imagine the gales of laughter in the recording studio. XD
17. I’ll bet it’s an interesting process in itself.
18. I’d believe she is, lol
19. Ooh boy…
20. Had to look that one up. Broken Sword II? Fraid I’ve never heard of that one.
21. I’m not over much for opera myself, but growing up with cartoons has made me appreciate ‘Largo al factotum’ at least, lol
22. I like pickles, and cucumbers, but I only really like dill pickles, lol
23. “It’s a living.”
24. And it’s not-so-subtly rubbing it in
25. Carumba! Just be thankful it wasn’t a cockatrice.
26. Magical moment. =)
27. The sun and moon go through a lot in this show, with what happened in the Season 4 premiere and finale, the Storm King messing with them in the movie, and now this.
28. Easy there, Basil. =P
I quite agree. =)
Interesting. Before this episode, I’d only ever heard of Gail Simone when Linkara brings her up, like in that disgrace of a storyline, Cry for Justice, when it felt like James Robinson was taking potshots at her Birds of Prey work.
23:47 It looks like the sun and moon are fighting like in milky way wishes from Kirby super star and Kirby super star ultra.
My interests are closer to Luna’s than to Celestia’s. What some people find exciting, I just find overwhelming: I can’t enjoy them, only endure them.
On another note, I can’t bring myself to laugh at Celestia’s alektorophobia. I don’t have the heart to laugh when someone is genuinely afraid, even if I don’t share their phobia.
Part of me hope that this delightful ep has a knock-on effect of the Princesses getting out and showing up more in the last half of this season. Actually, most of me wants that so they can become the 12th and 13th main cast members in time for the end.
So a saw a few more leaks thanks to somewhere, and I gotta say, I think this season is best left blind after the hiatus. Doing my best to do that too
Even if they do retire they still have jobs only they can do, like Celestia at her school or Luna in dream watching right?
This episode is fun.
where are the 2 episodes b4 this 1?
So we have valley girl Luna and Gothlestia, I wonder what Cadance and Twilight would be?
Are you going to bronycon
Aren't you glad you've learned to save all these replies, so you don't have to try to remember what you said and type it all out again? :)
1. 0:47 "The title suggests to me that it concerns Celestia and Luna, considering what they govern. The only question is, is it something that _warrants_ yet another foreboding title?"
Nope, it's just DHX messing with us again. :)
2. 1:32 "Is that a freaking Torterra?!?!"
I dunno, but whatever it is I'm sure Fluttershy can handle it.
2:17 Fluttershy: "I'm only nicely _once._ Let my friends _GO!"_
Told ya.
3. 3:38 "Ohhh dear. I think I see where this is going."
Mysterious Mare Do Well: Princess Edition?
3a. 4:48 AJ: "And then, they _carried_ Granny Smith across the street. There wasn't even any traffic!"
OMG I WAS KIDDING!
4. 5:28 Spike: "Or maybe this was just a one-time thing and it'll never happen again."
*Whoa,* getting a bit too meta there, Spike! Let's dial it back a bit.
5. 8:16 Celestia: "We'll take turns doing what we like!"
TPrower: "There ya go, compromise!"
Although it didn't end up working out so well, at least Celestia and Luna made more of an effort than Rarity and Rainbow did in "The End in Friend".
6. 9:50 [Apparently, real swans are a lot meaner than they're depicted.]
Just like the geese. Points for realism!
7. 10:28 "No wings allowed, huh?"
I guess a lot of the princesses' vacation activities wouldn't have made much sense otherwise, like the ziplining, rock climbing, and roller coaster riding.
8. 10:32 You didn't add that sound effect for the boop, did you? That was actually in the episode?
9. 10:37 "A song?! With Celestia and Luna?!"
Now we can cross off hearing Nicole Oliver and Aloma Steele sing together from _our_ bucket lists.
10. 10:51 "Capper, is that you?!"
Good eye! I didn't spot that film feline in _two_ viewings of this scene.
11. 11:45 [Hey, Big Bucks and Jackpot!]
Trying to impress and flatter the princesses with their little fireworks display. Methinks those two may have been angling for a double date after the show.
12. 12:16 [I thought they said they were closing this ride...]
Well, we saw Flim and Flam on the side of the road earlier in the song. Maybe they lost the resort, and it's under new management?
13. 12:35 The two sisters' choice of swimwear could not be more different, could it? It would seem that some parts of Luna's wardrobe still haven't been updated since her banishment.
14. 13:30 "You I trust, Fancy Pants, but them... not so much."
And yet ironically, Jet Set and Upper Crust were the ones who were never rude this episode. Either they've learned to keep their attitudes in check over the last few years, or they just wouldn't dare treat those in authority the same way they would somepony on the street.
15. 13:57 "Uhh, Twi, don't you remember what you learned in the premiere? A good leader knows when to ask for help!"
Twi has learned to get help from friends and authority figures, but directing subordinates is a much different role than she's accustomed to. Twi doesn't even have staff for her _own_ princess duties!
16. 14:31 Was that Ghastly Gorge? I bet the eels didn't appreciate all the noise. :)
17. 15:04 Smart pegasus, making sure he didn't get too close to the sun. ;)
18. 15:12 "I never took you as a mare of mundane pleasures, Luna."
I can see why she'd be so fascinated with the post office. Because Luna always works at night, that's one place that she would have never been able to visit.
19. 15:21 "Hi, Derpy!"
The only thing that could have made this episode better: Getting to hear Tabitha talk to herself here. Again.
20. 16:18 "Lookin' good, Luna!"
Could this be... Rainbow Power Luna???
21. 18:13 I hadn't noticed until someone pointed out that Luna's magic only removed the first of those burs. The rest were abruptly yanked out by her sister's magic, without warning.
22. 20:37 Pinkie: "I'm delegating!!"
At first I wondered why Pinkie was the one directing Mr. Turtle Snap, and not Fluttershy. But then I recalled that Ponk has experience riding on top of larger, dumber creatures (Father Knows Beast). :D
23. 21:21 "Ooh, sunburn!"
It makes total sense that the princess of the night wouldn't know anything about sunscreen.
24. 21:48 What's the matter, Princess? Chicken? XD
25. 22:48 "Hey! A shooting star!"
Any relation to the one that passed behind Yona and Sandbar, do you think?
26. 23:29 The worse the fight, the sweeter the make-up.
27. 23:35 Luna: "The sun and the moon together? At the _same time?"_
Celestia: "Now where have I seen _that_ before?"
I thought she meant the season 4 premiere, but the both of them were a little _tied up_ when that happened.
28. 24:15 "Don't worry, Twi. The princesses are on the way!"
And this time, we actually _do_ need them to save the day. :)
29. 28:53 "...Celestia accusing Luna of never wanting to be happy."
That reminds me... Their makeovers (Exuberant 80s Luna and Gothlestia) were a sort of role reversal, weren't they?
Heh, very lucky indeed, lol
1. Given how this is the last season, it should be expected, lol
2. If it's animal-related, Fluttershy's the go-to pony for the job. =P
3. But did Granny dare to try and smack either of them with her purse this time? lol
4. Only Pinkie and Discord are allowed to lean on or break the fourth wall, little buddy, though you did your fair share of it in Lesson Zero. =P
5. You can say that again, lol
6. No sugarcoating this time around, lol
7. Good point
8. I added nothing to that but the boop text. =P
9. Along with quite a few other things. =)
10. He finally made it into the show after a fashion, and still looking as fashionable as he did at the end of the movie. =)
11. Good luck, fellas. As far as we know, neither of these two have ever had any romantic inclinations towards other ponies in the show.
12. It'd serve them right.
13. Looks that way, lol
14. I'd hope so, but it's indeed a very ironic role reversal.
15. That's true. She doesn't even have guards for her castle
16. I should think not. I also think that's the shrillest Nicole's voice has ever been. XD
17. Pfft.
18. Fair point, lol
19. That would've been funny, lol
20. I think so. XD
21. Yeowch...
22. Pfft, nice callback, and an appropriate jab at Sludge. XD
23. And Celestia probably didn't think she'd ever be out in daylight for too long, so she never thought to tell her.
24. I shouldn't mock her too badly, but oh, the fics this is sure to spawn.
25. Well, if it's specifically reserved for special moments, then perhaps.
26. Well said. =)
27. Pffft.
28. Finally, something actually within their realm of expertise.
29. Good point, lol
@@TPrower Most of the recently released episodes are very entertaining, they should be watched blind, most of them if not all in my opinion. Will you be reacting soon to episode 14?
TPrower did you go to bronycon 2019
20:40-Plastic isn't good for turtles if I am not mistaken
You're right, but this is basically a lawyer-friendly torterra in a land of ponies whose diets would give a normal pony a terrible case of colic at best. I'm not surprised anymore.
