[Blind Reaction] MLP:FiM S08E06 - Surf and/or Turf 

CMC called by the Map, visiting Mount Aris, meeting hippogriffs and turning into Sea Ponies. What a birthday.

I feel like the three symbols on their cutie marks represent passion(Scootaloo), talent(Sweetie Belle), and family/friends(Applebloom). I figure since all cutie marks are based around a natural talent, passion, or familial bond and/or how they help friends/family. Scootaloo has a passion for all things fast(with Rainbow Dash speed incarnate the lightening bolt makes sense ). Sweetie Belle likes to stick with what she is naturally gifted(singing). Last, Applebloom has an apple mark and on this show Apples are synonymous with family/connection to society.

10:11 That moment you realize Terramar's name means both land and sea. Terra=earth Mar=marine=sea

Probably the closest we are going to get to the writers at MLP tackling the subject of the divorced/separated family issue. I liked this one a little bit more than the previous episode.

I think this was not only a metaphor for separated parents, it was also a metaphor for people who have differents origins, differents cultures, and they feel they have to choose one

"Did I mention we're GLOWING!?!"

Dude, your hype is really contagious XD. Oh, and happy birthday

12:43 Oh scootaloo You're breaking my heart 😭

I love Terramar's voice and design. He's perfect!

I agree, that song was awesome, especially since scootaloo got a solo in it. also my heart also ached for scootaloo when she said "this must be like flying" the little yet meaningful feels moments.

Scootaloo deserves all the HUGS

Sounds like the writer really wanted to make that "intents and porpoises" pun by having it rhyme with tortoises, a land animal that cannot swim

Happy late birthday Applegeek!

Anybody notice this? Terramar is the hippogriff’s name Terra is Latin for LAND Mar is Spanish for SEA

Awwwwwwwww I feel so good for Scootaloo. She finally tried the feeling of flying (well swimming, but that's like flying) 😍😍😍😍

Quite a birthday gift of an episode, wasn’t this? I knew it would be a ‘check mark’ episode for you on several counts, cuz it threw a lot at us: the Crusaders being called by the Map, the return of Mt. Aris and Seaquestria, and Seapony Crusaders! =D Thank you for clarifying the issue of the Map supposedly only calling those related to the Mane 6. Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash are sisters-at-heart, but they’re still not ‘related’. There’s definitely something interesting going on with this Map in the problems it detects and the ponies it summons. I wonder who it’ll call next. It was great to see Mt. Aris and Seaquestria again, and see how things are after the Storm King was defeated. It was also interesting to see the social structure of both communities (along with their taste in fish-related delicacies, lol), and to see how some hippogriffs elected to either stay hippogriffs, or go back to being seaponies. And yet, even though there are couples who are divided by this choice, like Sky Beak and Ocean Flow, they’re still on very good terms with each other despite their living preferences. It puts a more heartwarming light on the metaphor for separated families that it seems to present. Still, interesting to point out that things might not have been so cheery for a long time after if not for the CMCs. I’m glad Twilight accompanied the Crusaders. She never gets to go on these Map missions otherwise, but she at least has a school-related excuse, lol. You’re right, tho: Twi and the Crusaders haven’t had a lot of bonding time since Twilight Time, so it was extra sweet to see them together. Plus, it was heartwarming to see how welcome Her Studiousness was among the hippogriffs and seaponies, after the whole Pearl fiasco. Seems she made amends with Novo, and she really got to enjoy herself in this one. =) Poor Terramar, tho. He’s been going back and forth between his parents, worried that if he settles with one, he’ll disappoint the other. I know the feeling of being in the middle, and feeling like I’ll let someone down no matter what I choose, so I can sympathize with him. Plus, everygriff his age already chose where they want to live, so he felt pressured by this ‘coming of age’ dilemma, and thought he needed to decide, too. Still, as you say, this is what the Crusaders excel at: figuring out what a pony’s future path is. They helped Gabby, even though she didn’t have a cutie mark (even if she wanted one), and coupled with the fact they’re still kids themselves, they were best suited to help Terramar. It was sweet seeing Sweetie Belle enjoy herself in the natural beauty and music of Harmonizing Heights (I didn’t even notice her horn glow when she ran off. Good eye. XD), but it was nothing compared to Scootaloo enjoying herself underwater. It’s the closest she’s ever come to flying unsupported, and it twanged at my heart to hear her say so, as much as it completely shattered yours. I’d be all for her being given one of those necklaces, but I agree that this flying issue of hers needs to be resolved before the show ends. It was a little jarring to see Sweetie Belle so grumpy about being in Seaquestria, but perhaps if they started there first, and then went to Harmonizing Heights, it’d be Scootaloo who would be in a bad mood. The song was really enjoyable, but soured at the end with Sweetie and Scoot refusing to speak to each other, especially after Terramar left. Extreme? Maybe, but they’re still young, and, like you said, was a good representation of Terramar’s problem. Moreover, let any adult who has never acted childish or over-the-top in regards to their passions cast the first stone... Besides, at least they had Apple Bloom there, as the sensible and impartial one. I think AJ would be proud to hear how she didn’t take sides and made it clear that she didn’t support her friends being so stubborn. And at least they made up in the end.

Ever since I saw the episode I was waiting to see your reaction to 1:20 , and I wasn't disappointed!

All I want to know from this episode is this... Did Siverstream's mother sign the form or not!? Also, as you stated, the map can call anyone it wants. Hence Starlight in "A Royal Problem", she's not related to anypony in Ponyville. Sure, she's Twilight's student in that episode (well, in a way, even though she technically graduated at the start of season 7), but other than that, no other real connection. All I want now is the map to summon Trixie sometime for a mission of her own.

8:38 That eagle sound is awesome! I can't stop playing that!

This is my fave episode of the season, so far! I had the SAME reaction when the CMC's got called and that they were going to Mount Aris. And seeing more of the hippogriffs is ALWAYS a plus. I LOVE Terramar as a character. I also had a WILD reaction at first because his voice sounded like Thorax, so I thought he was voiced by Kyle Rideout. Turns out, I was wrong and he's voiced by Cole Howard. First time writer + first time voice actor + great story = OUTSTANDING episode! 9/10 stars for me! Oh, and happy late birthday...yeah, some present, AMIRITE?!

Your enthusiasm for MLP while you watch these episodes is absolutely infectious :) So refreshing to see someone's genuine enjoyment with no judgement or pretense. You're easily one of the best blind reactors I've seen. Happy Birthday!

I'm a bit glad Silverstream is unaware and not in that same situation, that's so a relief for her!

A great episode with a great message. Though, really, I enjoy every episode. Oh, and Happy Birthday!

17:22 Did Scootaloo just make a pun? *Sheds a tear* I'm so proud.

12:41 he said it is just like flying! Hopefully in the future episodes or more, were all hoping that scootaloo will officially fly from the sky and not underwater. I know there's a lot of doubters out there but we're all with you on that reaction Applegeek.

This episode is the best tackling of the topic of divorce I've seen. Kudos to the writers.

"The map doesn't really work like that" I'm gonna laugh so hard if it turns out the map has a zoom feature.

1:33 Burny: COINCIDENCE?! I THINK NOT! (Or in this case I think so)

And now Scootaloo is a tuna.

First of all, Happy belated Birthday Applegeek! I absolutely had fun with this episode! My reaction to the CMC getting summoned for a map adventure and the destination being at Mnt. Aris was very similar, I loved that feeling. I had hoped that we’d get to learn more about the lifestyle of the hippogriff’s/hippocampi(as well as getting confirmation on how the can change forms at will) and I couldn’t have been more excited than I was. Getting to know Silverstream’s family members was very nice, including Terramar. I can see why Sweetie Belle loves Harmonizing Heights, being a calm, cool and serene location on Mnt. Aris and Scootaloo loving the thrill of living in Seaquestria; I can vouch for that because I have a great fascination for ocean life. By the way, the song featured in this episode is one of my favorites sung by the CMC. I throughly enjoyed this episode, it may be the best of the season yet! I’m excited for the next non-Equestrian location that the map will select for our fellow characters. Excellent reaction as always, Applegeek!😉

42:20: That was really sweet, Applegeek, for talking about your parents. My parents does have the same thing too about ether or not notices, certain point of view and agreement but they still love each other and I’m really happy and appreciate for them. Oh and about what you said Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo, acting like kids while turned their back and refused to talk each other after giving Terramarr a hard choice to live in one place or another, I’m sometimes still acting a kid too when my parents and my sister doesn’t understand what I’m trying to say with the right any sentences because of the autistic that I had. I know they’re always want me to help because they love and care for me.

What an episode. Plus, its great to see Scootaloo get the feeling of flying, I hope one day she actually will.

Happy birthday Applegeek!

17:14 I just realized they did a reverse "It's a tortoise" joke there xD (Calling the turtles tortoises)

The CMC as sea ponies was spoiled for me unfortunately, but when I did find out I was hoping they would touch on Scootaloo feeling like flying underwater. And they did, and it was beautiful.

Your reactions for this episode was one of the best for this season. "Surf and/or Turf" is definitely one of the best episodes of season 8.

I swear to Celestia that if Scootaloo does not figure out how to fly by the end of the series I will riot.

9:34 Sweetie Belle is me when food is ready 😂

19:59 I just now noticed that light yellow hippogriff in the background looks a lot like princess skystar

I always love how excited you get while watching these. Your pure joy makes the reactions so much fun to watch.

this is why I love your reactions you show the same excitement I do when i watch. also watching your reactions always makes me laugh so much. you and Kaperon are my top 2 reactors to watch with you being the first because you get so excited with the episodes. I did chuckle when ya tossed the check mark because I knew more was coming for it. oh and also happy birthday man congrats on the birthday gift.

Believe it or not there is a fruit called a salmonberry it's found in the states of Washington, Idaho and Oregon. But it is very similar to a very poisonous plant

Seriously MLP is something else special and happy birthday dude. I am surprised by the number of checkmarks you gave this episode

Happy Late Birthday Applegeek! Also I thought this episode was good too.

YAY U finally saw it!! Im surprisingly early for ur reactions XD Oh Happy birthday btw!! Loved ur reaction! ^_^

I just love watching you scream and pulling out your plushie check. Watching you freaking out of joy makes it fun for us when we re-watch this episode with you. :D

1:30 (points at shirt) "THIS is a total coincidence! I did not plan this!" God sure has a great sense of humor, eh?

Your reaction OML x3 That was awesome! And what a coincidence o3o

Man this episode really was the great present for you! Happy Birthday!

As soon as I saw the notification when I woke up I instantly clicked it. Cause why not? His reactions are funny, and really fun to watch.

I loved how they chose to tackle the subject of divorce. I have divorced parents and their relationship isn't a healthy divorced relationship unlike this one.. although it is still very relatable. We've seen MLP base episodes about certain struggles before, (For example "Tanks for The Memories" which represents the loss of a pet), but this I believe is the most straight forward episode that tries to connect a hard hitting subject to the MLP world. I prefer rewatching your reactions when I want to watch MLP instead of watching it by myself which is why I'm back here 5 years later.

LOL, grabbed the checkmark in under ten seconds. That's an academy record.

This is probably one of the best episodes ever

9:37 Wow, I didn't notice Sweetie's horn glow! You must go frame by frame when you edit.

The frames at 17:48 with Sweetie Belle in the sunlight and a flabbergasted seapony!Scootaloo on that bush just seem so cute to me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!Whenever I get a notification that you uploaded a video, I turn into fricking flash trying to click it XD

Happy birthday, Applegeek! You're a great reactor!

I know that this episode is primarily an episode about Mount Eris...and I'm pretty sure that a lot of you (myself included) see the aside to the concept of a kid with parents that are divorced and having to spend time with both seperately (Skybeak and Ocean Glow are on good terms at least).....but there is more showing about Scoot's possible disability (pegasus that apparently can't fly), especially when that pearl turned all of the main characters into Seaponies, and Scoots make the statement "Swimming is just like flying!!!" EDIT: Never Mind, I can see that Applegeek kinda mentioned that as well, so you all can just disregard my comment if you wish.

RIP my ear drums. and thank you for making me laugh when you pulled out that check mark

As much as I should be upset for watching this episode back in December when it was leaked. Seeing your reaction now, just made me actually happy to have seen the episode then because even though I was spoiled, it still was a great episode/moment to remember. Also, I realized that it would've been a better idea for me to see this then with less spoilers, than to see it now with getting completely spoiled. And it was Christmas time when I first saw it, so that was a bonus. And speaking of holidays, Happy Birthday Applegeek! ❤️💛🍎🤓

Scootaloo made me cry out of joy for her.

When I realized there’s like 1-2 weeks of school left: 1:24

In the leaked version, the chorus of "Don't forget about me" played at 22:42. I thought it was awesome that they made a reference to the breakfast club. It made the episode that much better.

Of all the people who do reaction videos, you are my favorite.

6:25 now that is very clever of how some of them went back to stay on mt. aris and be hippogriffs once again while the others decided to stay in seaquestria as seaponies....clever on whoever wrote this episode now they can keep an eye on both areas

I ❤️ your reactions!!! I feel like your emotions and feelings completely matches what I’m feeling in that exact moment!

Intro sound - Power Macintosh 9500 or Macintosh Centris Although that sound was also used by the Quadra 840 AV and the 9600 and G3

As soon as this video started, I was thinking how appropriate that shirt was for this episode

Happy birthday, Applegeek! This episode is the perfect present.

Most mature season so far, i like it. Also: happy late bday, glad you made it this far 😃

The look on Appleblooms face XD HA!. Its that " why do i put up with you two" kind of look XD

Loved your reaction, man! Laughed with you all the way! By the way, lots of mentioning of the Storm King's death this season. P.S- Happy Birthday!

Hey, Happy birthday to you! Good reaction as always. You are so hyped for this episode.

Happy Birthday Indeed. I was waiting for this one because I knew you'd love it.

Congratulations for the birthday! And this episode where.. How can i say... "Griffonastic!"

NICE! you watched it like i told you too. ^^ im so happy u enjoyed it! Congrats applegeek!!:D

That’s what it means when you got the best of both worlds.

Wow, what an awesome way to celebrate your birthday! Happy (VERY) late birthday to you! I’m way behind on watching reactions. Lol Anyway, this episode was so awesome! Loved Scootaloo’s reaction to being a Sea Pony. It was so adorable, but also heartbreaking.

0:25 Actually ep 5 was also leaked but only audio.

Here's a thing to think about. If the map is sentient, it knew what it was doing when it took the time travel scroll and got rid of it. It shows the map could have taken that scroll anytime it wanted. Which makes me think there was never really any danger from the time travel. It allowed everything to happen, in order to help and get through to Starlight. (It basically was just a friendship problem. Which the map works on fixing....) To forge a friendship between Starlight and the Mane 6... Yeah. They really need to look into the power behind the map...

I've been looking forward to this reaction. Specifically, the first 30 seconds of the episode. Here are my highlights: 1:20-1:22 3-2-1... 1:23 Applegeek loses it. 1:25 And there's the checkmark. 1:31-1:39 Seriously?! I've said it before, but I'll say it again: APPLEPSYCHIC! 1:42 And they're being sent to the Hippogriff/Sea Ponies at Mount Eris. More movie callbacks! 1:46 Applegeek's reaction. 1:53 Those eyes. 1:54 Applegeek's face. 2:10 Wow, talk about coincidence. What a birthday treat this episode must've been. 2:27-2:34 I know right, best 30-second opening ever! 2:34 Hi Dinky and Amethyst. 2:35 Hi Bon-Bon. 2:36 Hi Lyra...not with Bon-Bon? And Berry Punch, too. 2:37-2:42 I don't have any doubt about that, Sweetiebelle. 2:44 Scootaloo scootering. 2:48 Sweetiebelle spits out a ribbon. 2:51-2:56 Twilight makes a good point. Also, it goes back to what was said in On Your Marks. 3:08-3:15 Did you? When? 3:15 Umm...where did she stick that paper? Because from that angle it looked she put it in her...you know. 3:16-3:22 Sure it is, Twilight. 3:22 Silver Stream has a brother. 3:40-3:47 I think you're right. 4:04-4:22 Recap of the Sea Pony/Hippogriff history - everypony seems interested. Also, a Storm King reference. 4:40 So this is what it looks like in Flash animation. 4:51-4:59 Yes it would. 4:56-5:12 That's true, Hippogriffs/Sea Ponies don't have Cutiemarks. And I don't think the CMCs have ever been called to solve a non-Cutiemark problem before. 4:57 Sweetiebelle's face. 5:19-5:46 That's the one problem with the map. It only shows you where the friendship problem is, not who has it or why. 5:23-5:37 Yeah, it's not going to be that easy, Scootaloo. 5:50-5:54 What was with that animation? It seemed a little bit unpolished. 5:57 Applegeek agrees with me. 6:03-6:08 Umm, have you three not made the connection yet? 6:11 Here's the confirmation that it's the necklaces that allow the Sea Ponies/Hippogriffs to transform. It was meant to be shown in the series premiere, but got cut. 6:22 Another Storm King reference. 6:25-6:34 Yes, 'some' of them. 6:31 Seaquestria? That's seriously what they're calling it? 6:37 Further confirmation. And now we know the necklaces are parts of the pearl from the movie. 7:04 Oh, you haven't seen nothing yet. 7:09 Little baby Hippogriffs. 7:17 About that: where is Queen Novo in this episode? And princess Sky Star? 7:21 I do too. 7:36 The Glad to be a Hippogriff Festival. 7:53-8:02 I thought it was going that route too, but you'll see. 8:12 Every weekend? They must like parties almost as much as Pinkie. 8:35-8:54 Twilight is very well-liked. 8:38 Hippogriff screech. 8:42 "Everygriff." 8:55-9:02 Indeed. 9:10-9:14 I was just thinking the same thing, Applegeek. 9:14 Sure Twilight. Research. 9:27 Sweetiebelle hears something. 9:34 Sweetiebelle turns into Road Runner (Meep Meep). 9:36-9:41 I guess so. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 9:46-9:50 Sweetiebelle skipping through the water. 9:54-10:05 Sweetiebelle is in heaven. Also, that twirling. 10:08-10:16 Here's the problem. Although it doesn't sound like a friendship problem. And how come it's only the Crusaders who can solve it? 10:27 The CMCs celebrate that they've found their mission. Not that they've solved it. 10:50 Yes we are. 10:53-10:59 Actually, he's talking about his mom, Applegeek. Queen Novo is his aunt. 10:58-11:01 That's an understandable problem. It can be difficult to choose when other peoples' (or creatures') feelings are involved. 11:05-11:11 It's especially hard to make decisions when you feel pressured into them. 11:26-11:39 Sweetiebelle jumping to conclusions. 11:39 That's a good point, Sweetiebelle. You need to see both places first. 11:42-11:46 Don't worry Applegeek, you will. 11:46 I said it first Applebloom. 11:51 Hi Twilight. 11:55 Twilight won a ring-toss trophy. 11:58 I agree, that face. 12:00 You're not fooling anyone, Twilight. Just drop it. 12:03 Sky Beak? That's the dad's name? 12:08 Yes we are. 12:20 Oh you'll see, Applebloom. 12:29 The CMCs become Sea Ponies. Also, Applegeek brings out the checkmark again. 12:33 Applegeek's reaction. 12:33-12:58 Scootaloo is in heaven. 12:36 It most certainly will. 12:41-12:55 Yep, we all felt it when she said that, too, Applegeek. 12:55 That laughter. 12:58 So this is what it looks like in Flash animation. 13:01 Little baby Sea Ponies. 13:22 And the mom's name is Ocean Flow? 13:24 Twilight is very well liked here too. 13:40 Why would you offer to show someone that? 13:41 I suppose it must be. 13:43 Why would Twilight want to see that? 13:46-13:50 Twilight, just drop the act already. We all know you're here for a vacation. 13:57-13:59 "Kelp Chips" and "Fish Oil Tea." 14:06-15:08 Scootaloo having a blast, while Sweetiebelle focuses on the negatives. 14:15 That face. 14:17-14:24 Applegeek gets it. 14:3014:34 Isn't that something Rarity would ask? 14:40 Scootaloo doing something funny with a shell. 15:08 Grumpy seagull. 15:17 Screeching competition. 15:22-15:27 XD 15:43-15:46 Scootaloo said it for me. 15:47 Applebloom is put in the spot. Even though she's as divided as Terramar. 15:49-17:58 Music? Song! 15:56-16:04 You found the solution before they did, Applegeek. 16:29-16:45 Sweetiebelle is good at rhyming. 17:24-17:58 Sweetiebelle and Scootaloo fighting over opinions. And somehow they decide not to be friends anymore?! 18:23-18:53 Applebloom is the go-between messenger of Sweetiebelle and Scootaloo. And yes, they are still sitting next to each other. 18:40 Applegeek calls it. 18:56-19:13 Sweetiebelle and Scootaloo claim it's not their fault, before admitting it's their fault. 19:05/19:09 Applebloom's face. 19:20 Twilight get's it. Why wasn't this her mission again? 19:29-20:02 I'm actually glad there's no disharmony between the Hippogriffs and Sea Ponies. It would've been very easy for the writers to have them argue over which way of life is better. But instead, they show how they respect each other's decisions and work around them. 20:10 We all knew that little break-up wouldn't last. 20:27 Good question. 20:28 He can't decide whether to live on land or in the sea, so he decides to live in a tree? 21:00-21:15 Hippogriffs and Sea Ponies having fun together. 21:20-21:53 A touching moment. 21:55-22:02 Terramar goes on a transformation spree. 22:05-22:11 Another touching moment. 22:15-22:22 Mission accomplished. 22:28-22:32 I agree, it would be cool. 22:33-22:38 A funny moment. 23:01-23:12 I agree with that. 23:41-23:54 A good point. I thought that was the reason why too, but Scootaloo isn't related to Dash is she? 27:31-29:41 Applegeek explains why it had to be the CMCs to solve the problem. Overall, this was a brilliant episode (and reaction). If anything, I think it shows how much the series really listens to its fandom. We've been waiting a long time for a story where the Crusaders get called by the map, so Hasbro gave us one. They also gave us more Hippogriffs/Sea Ponies and references to the movie, without actually featuring characters like Queen Novo or Princess Sky Star. I get that hiring their voice actors would be expensive, but their absence is noticeable. Anyway, let's see what the next episode has in store. And hopeful the problem won't be so easily resolved this time.

Watching your reactions with breakfast makes my whole day go well.

This episode gave you half of your wish list

Happy late birthday Applegeek! What an amazing present from Hasbro to you, hehe. ;) Ocean Flow is Queen Novo's sister. And this is like devorced parents that continued as friends, and keep their children's need in front.

I still remember the time the Maine 6 thought hipegrif was called hippo😂😂

I love watching your reactions and commentary again (^w^) Sweetie Belle’s excitement over Harmonizing Heights I felt wasn’t weird at all and for in totally with her character. Yes, we haven’t gotten much backstory for her but we do kno Sweetie loves music, it’s one of her favorite hobbies and past times (On Your Marks, Show Stoppers, etc), she can sing, and she has a music note on her cutie mark, so I think we know that’s Sweetie Belle is very passionate about music. And if you really listen to the orchestral piece playing while Sweetie is frolicking around Harmonizing Heights, it is very beautiful. I used to play violin in DC’s Youth orchestra and I can definitely feel Sweetie’s connection and live for the music. (Setting aside the fact Sweetie is my favorite CMC) I loved the lesson in the episode and I’m sure it is very relatable to many people. I thankfully did not have to worry about my parents separating but I do remember when I was 12 in middle school, seeing a peer sobbing constantly because she was told she had to choose which parent she would want to live with as they were separating...I couldn’t imagine good my through that, as my struggles are more personal to myself and mental illness and traumas...I love my family greatly, and to go through something so colossal and life-alternating as separating parents and feeling as though you have to pick one and especially from m such a young age....It’s heartbreaking and heartwrenching and my heart goes out to those who had had to and are still going through this right no. I’m glad MLP tackled this difficult subject even though the implications were subtle and I think they did a great job handling it this episode. So sorry for the long post...It’s been a long while since I’ve actually commented on one of your videos. But thank you for doing what you do Applegeek Sir, and you’re still and always will be awesome to me! (^w^)

Oh dude, April 25th is your birthday?? Happy late Birthday and thanks for all the awesome reaction videos!! I've watched most of them at least twice now!!

I see it as it indeed WAS a friendship problem, i'll explain: Terramar being forced to choose would have led to resentment, and perhaps also either of his parents feeling worse or "better" than the other, including resentment (or even more resentment?) between them. This could, in the long run, also have led to a schism between the sea dwellers and the land dwellers. In that manner, it was indeed a friendship problem, but it was one that had not yet started causing any problem, so it was a good "starting" assignment for CMC. We also know by now that some family problems qualify as friendship problems. Your "Helping with lifepath" thing was also true, making it both a CMC-assignment as well as a Friendship problem. As with the CMC being perfect for the mission, Sweetie would like the heights, Scoot would like the water, and they were supposed to empathize that both places were great. It was a part of the mission, actually. They were also supposed to come up with a solution, of course ... and they did. ^_^

Your horse noises! Haha! A delight to watch your reactions. P.S. "I just described... the government. You're never too old to act like a child" You are my hero.

I Love It When He Goes Sooo Excited Like SOOO EXCITED

I scream cause this episode is 220% cooler than the rest! MLP ROCKS! (PUN INTENDED) Edit: OMG HOW DID I FORGET. HAPPY BIRTTHDAYYYYYY

I also noticed that instead of having the revelation fully on their own, Twilight sort of spelled it out for them after the spat (which served as a metaphor for both Teremar and the potential societal issue). And then they transferred the 'WOW' moment to Teremar, who got to see it for himself and have his parents spell it out. It's an interesting break from the norm, contrasting what we saw when they helped Gabby and Zipperwil. I can't help but wonder about it in the context of storytelling, where a protagonist has a transformative experience by story's end, and he/she is only as good as the forces of antagonism make them. I'd say they scored five stars here, and did it in a new way. :)

What an episode. Happy Birthday Dude!

haha your first reaction when the cmc were called by the map waas hilarious hahaha XD XD XD

What a treat two videos this week

First, Happy late Birthday! 🎂 Second this really was a fun episode and your hyped up reaction is contagious that it even made me hyped up. Also just side note that when Scootaloo in the underwater scene really reminds me of the song For a moment from The Little Mermaid 2 movie in which Melody (Ariel's daughter. Look it up if you haven't heard it or seen it) sings about how she's happier in the sea rather than on land. Can't wait to watch more of your reaction videos.😊
