Super Recaps: My Little Pony season 5 (Appleloosa’s Most Wanted)

We’re back with another episode of the candy coated horse adventures!  Now so far, season 5 has been pretty up and down, what with episodes like Castle Sweet Castle and Tanks for the Memories not really hitting for me as much as the others we saw.  Will this one be another standout episode for the season, or will it be another mediocre slog in between the better ones that we get this season?  Let’s find out!!

The episode begins with the Cutie Mark Crusaders who are trying to come up with more schemes to get their Cutie Marks while visiting Appleloosa with Applejack.  There’s a big rodeo that’s supposed to take place soon, but the local sheriff is a bit apprehensive because some “low down varmint” is in town and he believes they are there to ruin the rodeo.

“Remember the number one rule of the wild west!  There’s no justice like vigilante justice!  NOW GRAB YOUR PITCHFORKS!!”

Super Recaps: My Little Pony season 5 (Bloom & Gloom)

We’re back with another episode of everyone’s favorite show about talking horses!  That is, except for Mr. Ed of course (of course).  Wow.  Did I really do a Mr. Ed joke?  ANYWAY!!  After the disappointment that was Castle Sweet Castle, this one has a lot to make up for.  Will this one prove that the previous episode was a fluke, or will this one continue the downward spiral that last week’s episode predicted?  Let’s find out!!

The episode begins with the CMC finding out that Babs Seed had gotten her Cutie Mark in hair styling!  Does this mean we get to see her go to barber college!?  This happy news however prompts the others to ask some questions that I’m shocked the show is actually addressing!  Questions such as what if they don’t like their Cutie Mark and what happens to their friendship once one of them DOES get one?

“What if I get a barber Cutie Mark too!?”     “What’s wrong with that?”     “I don’t want to be a barber!”     “THEN WHY WOULD YOU GET A BARBER CUTIE MARK!?”
