MLP:FiM - "Where the Apple Lies"
Episode 23 of season 6 will premier on October 8th, 2016.
SYNOPSIS: Applejack tells Apple Bloom a story of how deceptive she was in her younger days and how the whole family paid the price.
-
What. Applejack, lies... And manages to do it well enough that it was believed? That's a bit odd to say the least. Considering she's very obvious when she lies. Also wait what?!? Her family!? Do we get to see her parents!? I'm hoping we get to see them. It's been awhile. And they are confirmed dead. I doubt this episode will be about that, but it would be nice to maybe get a glance at them.
-
So young Applejack was possibly a fibber? Even more intriguing is we MAY in fact finally see Applejack's parents.
-
This synopsis is confusing. Is it talking about a young Applejack or an even younger Apple Bloom?
-
Oh you are right. It can be taken either way. I think it means, Applejack.
-
I wonder what it was about? I bet she ate all the apple fritters they were gonna sell... then they had nothing to sell so they got no money for the winter, AND THE PARENTS DIED due to having no money to pay for coal to heat their home in the winter! The parents sacrificed themselves to take on the brunt of the cold and let them live, and they DIED. All due to Applejack eating all the fritters.
-
Wow.
You should be a writer for the show. ;)
-
I should. It is totally plausible. Applejack killed her parents due to her carelessness and lies. Applejack worst pony as a baby.
-
I don't really have anything to say.
-
Then Spitfire comes in, has flashbacks, and throws the cook on the grill, and tears up the place. End.
-
Wow. Do all your stories end with that scene? Seems like they do.
-
It's my trademark. My Mark Twain if you will.
-
Oh my god Wolf. That's dark lol
-
How is Applejack having her parents die because of her own actions dark? Pphhhbbbtt. Silly, silly. ;)
-
All I can say, is that if I wrote for a tv show, it would be very, very, very different.
-
I just checked EQD. Apparently it hasn't aired in the UK like everyone thought it would
-
Why are we relying on UK airings?
We should watch our episode when they come out in the U.S. Not other countries airings.
That's the problem with fans of SU.
-
Darn you Britain for lying to the whole world this week! Where are our portable tables for flipping over?
-
DAMMIT UK!

Now I am excited for this episode because we have a good writer!
DAVE RAPP.
He also wrote two other good episodes, Newbie Dash, and Flutter Brother. Both episodes were character developing and gave us more backstory to the world! So I am excited. Seems he likes to develop stuff.
-
.....
*starts to weep*
We're doomed.
-
All I can say, is that if I wrote for a tv show, it would be very, very, very different.
I'm sensing a lot of violence and destruction. Senselessly of course.
-
Doooooooooomed!
-
Pessimist. :P
I have pretty high expectations for this episode. :)
-
Expect them to be let down. It's never that good to go in with high expectations. Especially with a writer who has made his mark with pretty bad extremely cringey writing.
-
...you're already pretty good at making me less excited... :-\
-
I liked Flutter Brother. So I am excited.
-
I know... I'm an asshole....

This made me truly laugh out loud.
-
Spoiled Rich used to be named Spoiled Milk, lol! I liked her young version too. She has always had a big squishy nose, as we saw in this episode. I like it when she pressed her nose to stuff, it squishes and scrunches!
Also young Big Mac talks! Applejack was always kinda angry in her tone of voice, yeessh.
Filfthy Rich is actually a really really nice guy. It's nice to see them portray someone rich as hard working and nice. I still have half the episode to go though.
Also at 7:30 isn, it was pretty easy to notice Big Mac gave a quick glance to a younger Cheerilee. ;) Hehehe!
-
AJ's design. What the even hell. She looks malnourished.
-
I watched the whole episode and I must say, it was very enjoyable! I would give it a solid 8 or 9 out of 10. I was surprised at how good it was and how much I liked it.
We also learned why Big Mac doesn't talk much. We got snippets of how he got the name Big Mac and how he got his cutie mark, lol! Filfthy Rich remained a good guy the entire time, his wife was kind of a snobbish jerk, but he was nice always trying to do the right thing. That was nice to see.
I really liked this episode and it was fun watching everything spiral out of control.
-
AJ's design. What the even hell. She looks malnourished.
Awkward teenage years. :D
-
I would give this episode mid 8 score. I just finished it and enjoyed it. Yes, this kind of thing has been done before, but I actually feel this episode was one of then better Apple ones. I didn't like how Applejack was always so bossy and unhappy in her tone, she seems very naggy, and never used to come off this way. Big Mac has matured a lot since he was younger too.
It was neat to learn the family history and the ties that Apple's have with the Rich's. It was also good to see Filthy Rich portrayed in a good light, and as a hard working businessman. I would be upset too if I worked on a display just to find out the next day there person lied to me.
We got lots of funny easter eggs like two mysterious fillies at the end of the hospital hallway that appeared for just a few moments, as well as Derpy with bandages over her eyes. Lots of neat hospital worker designs too and some funny expressions.
Overall, a strong episode for nearing the end of this season. Good job team.
-

I didn't notice that! I will have to go back and check. :) I did enjoy a lot of the character designs like you said. I really liked Spoiled Milk's design. I love that nose.
-
Yeah, it's there. Go check it out. I also liked Spoiled Milk's design. Poor Spoiled and Filthy have the worst names ever.
-
Not ad bad as Stinking Rich.
His name makes him sound smelly lol.
-
The whole Rich family has horrible names, lol.
-
Diamond Tiara isn't a bad name.
-
Diamond Tiara Rich. Ha ha!
I liked this episode too. It was much better then last week's and I will give this a good 8/10. I liked the characters, though younger Applejack was kind of a jerk. Big Mac talked way too much. But I enjoyed learning all the backstory. It was neat.
-
It was odd seeing Spoiled Ri- sorry. Spoiled MILK. Without her pointy nose.
-
I liked her round rubbery nose. Needs to be poked continuously so it makes a squish noise.
7/10.
-
From what you guys are saying, looks like I'm right to have high expectations. ;)
I'll go watch it now.
-
Watched it, and I give it a 7.5/10. Pretty good episode. :)
-
I went in with pretty high expectations actually. I liked both other episodes well enough to have some high hopes for this guy who wrote it.
-
LOOK at this nose of hers! It's the best! So squishy!! It has to produce good, big, wet sneezes.

When Mr. Rich was holding these flowers, who hoped someone would sneeze? I was hoping his fiancé was gonna sneeze....

Nose even bigger from this angle... I LOVE IT... Bet you can't tell.
As mentioned earlier, Big Mac checking out Cheerilee.

I actually thought Spoiled Milk (holy GEEZ, that name XD) was kinda... sorta... cute.
:-[
Lol, that last gif. XD
-
Uh... It looks like other mares noses. Am I missing something? I mean wait *looks closer* it looks a little rounder.
-
This was a good episode.
So if Applejack and Big Mac's parents are already gone at this time.... where did Apple Bloom come from?
-

Her nose is bigger, and it has a line running up the center of her face. Trust me, it is a noticeably larger nose.
-
Yeah. The Apple Family continuity is now completely fuked thanks to this episode.
-
There are many theories. Possibly they were not there for unknown reasons, Apple Bloom may have been with them? Applejack's a Mom..... lol.
-
Yeah I don't think so lol.
-
That nose, I'm telling you! It's beautiful.
-
Must be the reason why I think she's cute. ;D
-
Must be the reason why I think she's cute. ;D
We already like noses and sneezing. This bigger nose really doesn't hurt. It's not like massive, but slightly bigger and rounder, and squishier that we all notice. :D
-
So if Applejack and Big Mac's parents are already gone at this time.... where did Apple Bloom come from?
I found some analysis relating this this from EQD.
"I'm pretty sure some you all have heard the theory at some point about Applejack being a teenage mother. Now whether the theory of Big Mac being the father is still up for debate. Let's look at the facts. Fact: Applejack's parents and Apple Bloom weren't shown or mentioned in the flash back. Fact: Applejack and Big Mac argued in the story about who will be in charge of Sweet Apple Acres. Logically it would be the parents but since they're not around Granny Smith is in charge. Again confirming the theory that they're already dead. Fact: Filthy Rich and Spoiled Bitch are still engaged meaning that Diamond Tiara hasn't been born yet. Both Diamond Tiara are Apple Bloom are around the same age and they're in the same grade at school. Again proving that Apple Bloom hasn't been born yet. Now you can make the argument that we didn't see her because since she's a baby she would be at the house. But if that's the case, who's taking care of her? The rest of the family were all working and then they all went to the hospital which if she was there then she was home alone being neglected which is worse than her not being born yet. So when looking at these facts and the more you think about it, it does look like it's supporting the theory that Applejack is the mother. But why stop here when we push this theory further. What if Apple Bloom is the illegitimate daughter of Filthy Rich and Applejack? What if after the hospital incident Applejack was still feeling guilty about breaking her promise to Filthy Rich that she makes it up to him by letting him have sex with her which resulted in Apple Blooms conception? This would also mean that Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara are half sisters. This theory does sound kinda plausible(more than saying it's Big Mac) and kind of messed up. Hell, I can push this theory even further. What if Applejack intentionally got herself knocked up so that Filthy Rich could never sever his ties with the Apple Family? Since the Apple Family depend on the Riches partnership, without it they would eventually be out of a job and home. And Filthy Rich doesn't seem like the type of stallion that would let his daughter be homeless. And if he is that type of stallion who would then Applejack would reveal the truth which would ruin his marriage, reputation, and business. So what do you think of that? But hey, that's just a theory(A FILM THEORY!) Authors start writing.(be sure to give me credit.) I know that these theories seem dark but let's not forget we watched a scene where Granny Smith was about to amputate her grandsons leg. It don't get darker than that."
-
Wow.
That is a really stupid theory.
What? Just. No. I hate the "Apple Bloom is Applejack's kid" theory. No matter how you construe it, it doesn't make any sense. Plus, it's just disgusting, Filthy Rich has been shown to be a good stallion. Him having sex with a teenager, maybe younger? That's deplorable, and for anyone to say that the show is kinda sort of hinting at that, is just I don't even wanna know. I just chalk this up to the writer not giving a fuking damn about continuity and just not knowing how to include Apple Bloom in the plot.
Why not say, a slightly more plausible theory? Cheerilee and Big Mac are Apple Bloom's parents. Why is the theory always "she's AJ's daughter". I don't believe this theory either, but it's more plausible than this EqD one just trying to be edgy.
-
I don't like any of those theories of being Applejack's daughter, but I think your Cheerilee and Big Mac one is very interesting. I've never heard that.
But no, Apple Bloom came from the same parents as Big Mac and Applejack.
-
8/10. Spoiled Milk's nose is so big and squishy!
-
I remember this episode. Her nose was so round and needed to be booped, squeezed, and poked! Probably would be a great sneezer! Can't imagine all the snot that nose holds. :P
7/10.
-
I liked the episode. 8. Nice to see some new character depth for pones.
