Yeah, I wonder if they’re going to be absolute douches because Williams wrote the script.

@Inkan1969  
You know what I’m worried about? the friendship between Fluttershy and Applejack.

@Background Pony #56B8
 
I’m worried that this is going to be some heavy handed episode about animal rights.

So Applejack and Fluttershy are going to hate each other in this episode?

Shit just got real!  
First major Applejack/Fluttershy interaction in the series, it already escalated to this?

@Krek  
At least this will be a more down-to-earth idea of compromise between friends, rather than trying to act as the mitigater for others.

Why do I feeling like the Aesop of this episode is going to be alot like “Over a Barrel”, where the lesson is about compromise (Applejack and Fluttershy compromise to find a way to save the orchards, and spare the fruitbats)?
 
Still, it’d be an interesting watch.

… RD as Xander? :)

Merriweather, this is your chance to redeem yourself in the eyes of one random Lurker. For both of our sakes, don’t fuck it up.

I, for one, welcome the adventures of Applejack the vampire slayer and Fluttershy the vampire…not-slayer.

@EvilTon  
People always have had the wrong idea about that episode. Wasn’t a terrible episode, but also not one of the best.
 
McCarthy and Powell should still be the only people to write for him.

@Tenafly Viper  
Eh, didn’t like it much, but she’d only written two other episodes, so I guess she still had some inexperience, ’cause aside from that and the Mare-Do-Well episode, I liked all of her episodes (I even thought Spike At Your Service, one people really seem to dislike, was okay)

@EvilTon  
But I love that episode…Okay, I actually don’t really have a single episode that I DON’T like, so…
 
In any case, I’m kind of sad now, because I doubt the vampire fruit bats are going to be as adorable as the other fruit bats.

That’s some evil looking sky

@EvilTon  
Oh gog.
 
Let’s hope this one pans out better.

@PonyPon  
“Putting Your Hoof Down”

@EvilTon  
Which was that?

While I don’t want to just write off an episode written by M. Williams as bad by default (I actually like her episodes more than Dave Polsky’s), I can’t help but feel apprehensive, since her last episode with Fluttershy in the spotlight was less than stellar.

@Itsthinking  
True. It seems almost all of Applejack’s solo episodes end up being about her family instead of her. I’d like to learn more about aspects surrounding her character that do not involve her family.
 
And after that, I’d like them to focus more on Big Mac. The “Eeyup” and “nope” dialogue wasn’t even humorous the first time they did it, and now it’s just limiting his character.

I wonder if AJ will call the bats “bugs” (a la Calvin & Hobbes — you Watterson fans will know what I’m talking about).

@Background Pony #5620  
Glad her family isn’t seemingly involved.

Finally!  
These two never have any interaction. Plus it sounds like a conflict different from Applejack’s usual conflicts. This episode has been a long time coming.

@Dr Outback  
That’s what the picture looks like. All those poor trees.

Red skies and an unhappy Applejack are never a good sign.
