Talk:Fluttershy Leans In/@comment-10390252-20170430163018

I've got to say that this one felt a bit forced. The idea was good and I got the point of the first two reels. However, I got the impression that the resolution was thrown together in a bit of a hurry when the writer (G M Berrow) realised that she was running out of time to do it.

Don't get me wrong; the ending wasn't wrong and it was certainly in-character and also respected how Fluttershy has grown as a character since her introduction. That said, I can't help but feel that it was a third reel quick-fix.

I have to agree that the surprise guest-star was actually unneeded based on how the episode was concluded. If we'd had a brief indicator of how Big Daddy was able to teach the Mane Six how to use natural materials in a sustainable and harmonious way then that simple five minute or less addition would, in my view, have made the episode much more complete. Really, all that was needed to re-balance the length of the segments when the 'experts' are introduced and then fail to respect Fluttershy's creative vision in favour of the resolution and this episode would have been much better.
