Talk:Where the Apple Lies/@comment-10390252-20161008160619

That was a weak one, I'm afraid. Like Applejack's "Day" Off, it was a comedy of errors done in the style of the Stooges. The idea was good but execution was pedestrian, I'm afraid. There were some nice 'wincing with laughter' moments when some of AJ's increasingy-frantic lies and fabrications came undone all the more quickly but, overall, there wasn't too much to write home about this.

The good bits? I think that 'Spoiled Milk' is proof that some ponies literally have no instinct for naming their foals. Either that or they have a tradition of giving their foals horrible names to scare off the Changelings! Also, we now know why Big Mac is taciturn. We also know why AJ has a phobic aversion to telling lies!

Overall...? A pedestrian and ultimately-forgettable episode.
