Ah this one, so a bit of BTS stuff, this is one of the few times where the writer credited for the ep comes out and says "No that wasn't me" Though unlike the other two times it wasn't in the vein of "Don't blame me for this, the only reason my name is on there is contractual obligation." but rather just an honest mistake by whoever wrote the title cards. The card credits Meghan McCarthy as the writer, while the actual writer was Merriwhether Williams. Yeah..... I've gone on about her before.... This caused some concern going into this ep as the promo's revealed Williams as the writer and a synopsis that made clear there would be conflict between the Mane 6 which.... is not something Williams has handled well in the past. But... she actually did really well with this overall..... right up till the final two minutes where everything falls apart. yeah, the ending makes no damn sense if you actually know anything about how orchards work, or even some basic zoology. The bats are clearly a migratory species, so trying to pen them up in one place makes no sense and is counter to how they work, and everything Fluttershy goes on about for why the bats aren't that bad.... only apply to their role in a natural ecosystem, which an orchard is not. Her big selling point is the bats spread seeds..... okay... that is horrible for an orchard. For one, orchards don't need to grow new tree unless they are replacing dead ones, or expanding the size of the orchard. Then, if they are adding new trees, orchards don't use seeds, it's too random, they use cuttings of established trees they know do well, and they can't have the trees just planted where ever a bat decides to spit a seed, they need to place the trees very carefully to ensure each one has adequate space to grow, while maximizing the number of trees they can fit into the area they have. This is on top of them never actually solving the issue of stopping the bats from jsut devouring every apple in the orchard or why they'd stay in this one section... a section that is now lost to the Apple Family for any actual farming use, thus reducing their income. Yeah.... this really shows that the writer are writers... not naturalists. That said, up till then the ep was amazing, Flutterbat stole the show and has become very popular, and that song was just amazing, Daniel Ingram was channeling some heavy Danny Elfman vibes for that one. As to growing the apple that large.... normally no, but Earth Pony magic isat play so, "A Pony did it". Ponies are good at making the laws of physics curl up in a corner and weep. Thanks for more wonderful reactions!
