Talk:Applejack's "Day" Off/@comment-10390252-20160528213025

Okay! It certainly looks like Season 6 is hitting its stride now! After last week's wonderfully freshly-realised comedy, we got a nice, solid Aesop for this week! The characterisations of Applejack and Rarity were perfect in this episode.

Furthermore, we see some real character growth. Back in Season 1, AJ and Rarity could barely tolerate each other. Now, they're the best of friends and even have regular spa dates (something I can imagine that AJ would have once considered anathema). They've got such a close friendship that Applejack is willing to go out of her way to do things with Rarity! It's good to see the development of the characters and their interactions.

We're reminded that AJ is a pony of many hats and that helping out other ponies is something that's simply second nature to her. I did like her repair-pony get-up! At least we now know that Applebloom's talents in this area is a family tradition at work!

The comic relief with Rainbow Dash was a lovely extra touch. I could imagine that it would become years worth of blackmail material!

Overall, an above average episode that I loved watching. I'm sure that I'll come back to see it again! A solid 8/10 from me!
