"Granny's staying around forever, she's never- she's like Betty White." that aged like milk 😭😭😭😭


Seeing Big Mac about to get his leg sawed off was heart-pounding for me. I knew it wasn't going to happen, but that's a pretty dark thing for this show. It wasn't even an implication. It was what was directly stated was going to happen if Applejack didn't do something.


4:51 "Wait, Spoiled Milk?  What the hell is that name?"
An appropriate one, given how well she's aged.  :)


One of my favorite season 6 episodes, this episode is just so entertaining. It has a lot of funny moments and character exploration, while it does messes with the timeline the episode on itself is great. I am impressed you called it about big mac being "dressed up" as granny.
18:11 , you noticed those girls, to be honest I didn't know it was a reference to something.
18:16 , you can see derpy, with her eyes covered... Its a small backstory for her there.


It really makes you wonder if Fluttershy is the oldest of the mane 6 or if she was just the equivalent of a string bean when she was younger. Especially When considering AJ's height & design in this episode as well as "Cutiemark chronicles" back in season 1.

AJ could have very well been older in this story, since she had her cutie mark.


Filthy Rich just got engaged so Diamond Tiara isn't born yet and since she's the same age as Apple Bloom, she isn't born either so their parents should still be alive in this episode. Probably on vacation right now?


I like this episode, it has an interesting backstory on the Apple Family in their younger days. It’s a pity we didn’t get to see a younger Apple Bloom or the Apple Parents in this flashback though, that would have been nice. In any case, this was still a cool episode in my opinion.

It's sad that their parents first appearance would be their last until the finale as a mention.

@UmbreonTwinkle they at least were shown briefly in one of the season 9 episodes


Lesson: never tell a lie, you can get your family in trouble instead always be honest and tell the truth


Zap Apple Jam

Ingredients:

3 ½ c. raw, chunky Granny Smith applesauce

2 c. water

1 ¾ c. honey

1 c. granulated sugar

juice of 1 ½ lemons, divided

zest of 1 lemon

½ tsp. ground cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick

½ tsp. nutmeg

pinch each of salt and ground ginger

Instructions:

Cut apples into chunks and puree in a food processor. Add some of the water if necessary to aid processing. Mix applesauce, water, honey, juice of 1 lemon, lemon zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and ginger together in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook for 25 minutes. Check for thickness by putting a dab of jam onto a plate and freezing it for three minutes. If the jam is thick and spreadable, it is ready. Add sugar and juice of ½ lemon and cook 10 more minutes. Remove cinnamon stick if using. Fill prepared jars with jam, tightly seal, and process in a water bath for 15 minutes. Wrap the cooled jars with your favorite rainbow-patterned fabric and enjoy!

Just leaving this here so I can find this later.

@Watermelon Steven Wow, I barely remember commenting this. You watching for the first time, or rewatching like me?

@WafflesAnon watching it for the first time, I just finished the fim series so I'm watching reactors now

@Watermelon Steven Well, theres plenty of fan content to see also (if you haven’t seen a bunch of it already). Ponies the Anthology, Friendship is Witchcraft, and an under-appreciated one that I love: Scootertrix the Abridged, to name a few.

@WafflesAnon yep, I'll be checking them out soon. I'm at ep5 of fiw and I haven't checked out the other two yet. I also know there's bride of discord, my little dashie and friendship is musical so I'll be watching that later on too.

@Watermelon Steven Hope you enjoy, I’ll leave you to it /)


4:24 "She's still sexy as hell."
Well, Filthy didn't marry her for her personality.

And then Diamond Tiara was born and we know the rest of the story din't we?

@Winter Or perhaps he married her out of pity, so Spoiled could ditch that terrible name she'd been born with.

@Narrator007 I just wonder why there’s a family with the surname Milk to begin with.


Another great episode and glad you reacted to an older version. In the newer DVD release they changed all the "cider" references to juice as apparently cider is an alcoholic beverage in Great Britain and they didn't want to make it seem like they were promoting alcohol. This also shows another inconsistency with season 1. Here Granny is old but clearly younger then she is in the present but back in season 1 during AJ's cutie mark flashback she looks as old as she does in the present.

Those "newer" releases that don't include cider are mostly region locked to the UK and EU.

On Netflix here in NZ we still get "cider."


16:10 Applejack: "You're not allowed to take the sheets off.  You moan a few times, he leaves, and this whole thing is over."
Why is this starting to sound like some sort of prostitution deal?


I feel like AppleBloom should learn this lesson before.


Fun Fact...well actually more annoying than fun but I digress: it's a common joke about how cider is alcoholic, particularly by British reactors, and eventually the British version of this episode replaced all reiterations of "cider" with "juice" which tastes remarkably different, read: not as good. Sadly, that same version was also posted on the American Netflix channel. So the only way i can get the original is on YouTube from reactors like here.

Still working on the DVDs, not sure if it's the same case.


8:02 "Oh, look at Cheerilee!"
Big Mac certainly did.


I love how Big Mac literally doesn't speak because he made a bet.

I thought it was because his parents died and he changed because of it...


In the flashback, Granny Smith does look like a younger version of Betty White from the Golden Girls. I really missed her so much. If she was still alive, that would make me feel happy again <br>😢😢😢💗💗💗

I'm guessing the closest real-life equivalent to zap apple jam would be.....apple jam.  Maybe add some food coloring and swirl it all into a rainbow?


00:40 At least pony version of Filthy Rich is not a total dick, like his Human World counterpart :J
01:20 Hey, it's like Apple in the Human World! :q  They also have an enforced monopoly for their products, and they do what they can to stop any "unauthorized" access to their parts by independent repair shops :q
03:00 Technically, she didn't lie then, she just didn't tell the truth ;)  But yeah, there were moments where Applejack lied. Not some profound lies, but there was a couple of them.
03:22 She always has a chair nearby, in case of a sudden chair emergency ;)
03:50 Nope, he was just much more talkative back then, up until the accident :q
04:20 It wasn't a surgery ;) Her nose just ended up that way because of all the hissy fits she threw for all those years ;J
08:02 And she got that '90s hairdo from that photo in "Call Of The Cutie" ;)
12:48 We all wanted :/
13:13 Well, once you lie once, lies start spiralling out of that initial lie, and soon they have to lead to a contradiction.
13:25 If I were Applejack, I would tell her that it's highly contagious, just to watch her later sweating bullets  ;D
14:34 Yeah... But if you think of it, that's what taught her first hoof why lying is bad, and what made her the Element of Honesty later. I don't think she would be who she is right now if not that past experience.
15:15 I wonder what happened to that butthurt pony :J
16:36 Yeah, but whose fault would it be? :q
18:12 Another creepy reference to "The Shining" :J
18:16 Yup,  you're correct. And there's also Derpy after her eyes accident.
19:03 FOR KIDS!!! :P
21:35 Yeah, that too ;)  And that if you're gonna lie, you better thing it through beforehoof to avoid getting caught :D
22:08 Did you notice something odd, though? :> People have noticed that there is no AJ's parents in it, and took it as a canonic proof that they must be dead. But I noticed something else that, in my opinion, says for the contrary: because there's no Apple Bloom around either !!! She wasn't even born yet! If AJ's parents were already dead at that time, there's no way Apple Bloom could be born either. And since we all know she exists, this can only mean that the parents must have been still alive at least back then. So their missing may have a different explanation than their being dead ;>

Cause of Granny Smith’s bad hip: Tackled by Applejack.


20:17 Surgeon: "So, she's not a doctor."
Granny: "No, but I did stay at a Holineigh Inn last night."


D'oh...  Distracted by the Shining ponies so he didn't notice post-op Derpy. XD


Stephen King’s work reverberates in that hospital, I see.


Fan theory for what happened to Big Mac is . . . Well . . . . Yeeeaaah.  :(


15:24 "Spoiled Milk is kind of on to you."
I bet you wouldn't mind having her on to you for awhile, though.  ;)

Andrew Lagasse No one can escape Stephen King’s work!

EDIT: Not to mention it appropriates itself for this to be in a hospital since that’s a common setting in several of King’s work.

It's kind a funny I have never seen that movie but I picked up on that reference. I really should watch that movie.


But if apple bloom wasn’t born that would mean apple jacks parents are alive so where are they 😩🙄


Bad Applejack. Your not supposed to lie.


Not as cringy as the second half of "Applejack's Jack Off" though :q


I found this episode to be boring. The main premise seems to linger on jokes. Some moments are face palming. Big Mac seriously almost got amputated.


More like Spoiled Milf...

Legit though, she was actually likable in this episode.


i really love that despite his name Filthy Rich is not a bad Pony he may not be the nicest ever but thats cause he has a Buisness to run but im glad he isnt a dick and actually someone you can talk with


I don’t know why, but the name Spoiled Milk makes me laugh. I could understand why Filthy Rich’s wife had would want it to be legally changed to Spoiled Rich instead.

I just don't get why they ever married. At first I just imagined she got rotten over time, but turns out she was always like that. What did Rich see in her?

FusionOmni That’s a good question, even I’m not sure.

Maybe because Spoiled was much nicer to him.  Remember how she praised Filthy and touted the fact he was taking over his family's business at 4:42 ?  She was practically his hype man (or mare)!

@Narrator007 Hmmm, you may be on to something.

@FusionOmni Most likely he fell in love with the plot, while she fell in love with his money sack ;)<br>However, there are some hints in "Do Princesses Dream Of Magic Sheep" that he might be cheating on her ;)
