This was a nice and touching episode and I actually shed a tear at the end when they saw the two intertwined trees. And while it was nice to get another big slice of Apple family history, I was a bit disappointed that we still don't know what ever actually happened to AJ's parents (as I imagine many others were disappointed as well). It was also nice to see the attention to detail that they got the moon right in this one. The only thing that really bothered me about this story is that, if it was so easy to find out about their parents because everypony in town knew them, why did none of the Apple siblings ever ask anypony about them until now? (I know, the feud... but still...)

I thought Mr. Shatner did an excellent job here. Unlike some guest VAs who are immediately recognizable as themselves, he put some actual acting into his performance and I was mid-way through watching the episode before I really recognized that it was actually him (despite the foreknowledge that he was supposed to be in this episode). So kudos to William Shatner for an excellent performance that did not sound at all like Captain Kirk.

Overall, a great episode befitting of this series.
