The requisite AJ ep... overall AJ eps tend to be seen as the median of episdoe quality, rarely top teir amazing, but also rarely just outright bad.... unlike a certain dragon... much like AJ, her eps tend to be simple, direct, but still good. Much like this one, probably the most "Yeah it's alright" ep of the season, but still with plenty to it. Granted there was also a meme that AJ would always get outshined in her own eps by something else, like Derpy back in the Cherry ep... and that held true here, because THE biggest "OMFG THAT IS AMAZING! reaction was for..... Applejack..... she upstaged herself. Of course I'm talking about baby AJ's "More apple fritters?" which started a meme of short videos of all the characters as babies doing something like that. Wish I could find those videos.... So onto replies to stuff and comments. The whole "How often does an Apple Family Reunion happen has been debated forever. Mostly because the show never uses anything but "moons" for lengths of time without defining it. Not helping anything is the gathering back in the very first ep was referred to as an apple family reunion, but if you go with the common assumption of moon=month,that is over eight years, which is a lot for a reunion... and assumes Equestria has a 12 month year, when all we know for sure is Winter lasts three months, so maybe the other seasons get long. Either way, trying to figure out the passage of time in this show is almost as futile as trying to question The Pink One. For example, Grannies age, by all accounts, Ponies really don't have much differnt a lifespan then humans, exempting alicorns of course, just with Earth Ponies tending to be at the high end of that curve. Yet, back in Winter Wrap Up Twilight said Ponyville tradition went back fro hundreds of years,and we know Granny Smith was there at the founding, and that it's only been three generations since then As to why they host the reunion... likely they just have the biggest place that can most easily host the entire family together, as well as the fact that Ponyville is more or less right in the center of Equestria, so it would be the easiest place for everyone to get to. The "Apple Barn Destroyed Counter" is at 3, and yes that is a thing people have kept track of it happens that much.... We got to meet a lot of interesting Apples, many went on to be very popular, likely the biggest one of those that didn't get a name is Fiddlesticks, the violin player that is pretty much just an Octavia recolor. Though we have yet to find out why Bon-Bon was stopping by the reunion.... but the real mystery is why Cloudchaser was there,especially since Flitter wasn't. And yes, many, many, many jokes were made about Applejack having a 'Racist Barn" Finally,on a very touching note, to recall how this was meant to be ALL the Apples... and yet no Apple parents, adding fuel to the fan belief that they are in fact dead, with the staff outright saying that the two shooting stars you see at the beginning and end of the episode are explicitly meant to be a reference to them.
