If you ever need scared/horrified pony GIFs, Castlemania is definitely your episode.

Quick clip for Saturday's episode.

Apple Bloom is an idiot. And Applejack should know better than to try and float the wagon up the river. Someone's dying of dysentery.

You're being unnecessarily harsh.
Apple Bloom was simply trying to earn a cutie mark for conducting a cheerleader medley while bouncing a map back and forth on her hooves.

See what happens when you imitate a stupid brony meme Apple Bloom? You get a case of the stupid.

Hurray!
...That also means, baring Season 5 being 8 episodes, it'll break 100 episodes.

That gif reminds me that that epsiode was so freaking good. Probably one of my favourites.

Best song in the series. RIP M.A. Larson

Dunno about that ("Winter Wrap-Up" is hard to top IMO), but it was pretty good.
Was Larson one of the ones who left the team? I haven't paid that close attention to names in a long while.

Why the long case?
Oh boy do I need to play catch up.
Nice! Great to see Hasbro are still pleased with how the show's going.
Love that episode. I'm always a sucker for the ones where the Mane 6 all team up on a job.
Woah now, what's this about Mitch Larson? Tell me I'm misunderstanding and he hasn't left the show.

Larson didn't do anything for s4 but has hinted he may be back for s5.
I'd settle for that. Gotta have more Mitch!
In unrelated news, full synopses have been released for the next two episodes:
Apparently Discord's first musical performance (besides his showstopping rendition of Winter Wrap-Up, presumably) is set to appear in Three's a Crowd.

He lives/crashes at Fluttershy's so I wonder why he's bugging Twilight...
He's definitely old...
Because she's fun to poke?
Also Discord/Twilight = Q/Picard.
Yeah. It was the other word I was objecting to. I think they barely get up to "tolerates each other."

Yes, that is M.A. Larson. From what I have gathered, he is taking a break this season and is instead writing a children's book. He is not the only stand out writer that has left though, Cindy Morrow was not asked to return and from her Twitter posts was pretty hurt by it. I was pretty crushed at first, but this season has been great for me, with only Bats! being the only real bummer (I mean, it's still a good episode, I just didn't really care for Flutterbat). I kind of feel like Polksy absorbed Larson's talent for this season, I have really liked his episodes so far.
As for tomorrow's episode, I am super excited. Apples To the Core is already one of my favorite songs of show. I loved that Applebloom clip, I really don't mind fan service. To me, it just shows the staff cares and is having as much fun as the people watching.

I'm pretty hurt by that as well. Sisterhooves Social is probably my fave ep in the whole series and she was a big reason why.
I actually hadn't thought about it, but looking at her list of credits it seems like she wrote some seriously great episodes. Sisterhooves Social, Family Appreciation Day, Read It and Weep, Hurricane Fluttershy, One Bad Apple... I hope she returns along with Mitch Larson for S5.

That's exactly what I was hoping for. Hopefully will get to see it in the next couple days! Thanks; hyped!

There was actually a visual gag at the end that all but confirmed they are related.
Goldie Delicious pulls out her book exactly like Pinkie pulled out the scroll at the start of the episode

I was actually surprised and pleased at how they pulled this episode off.
I was kind of concerned that the episode would do the usual cliches: Pinkie not quite fitting in, or struggling with the apple family's less joyful sides, but she takes it all in stride and the family ultimately accept her anyway. Rather than the episode completely discounting it, it's still sort of there as an important footnote for Pinkie and Applejack's relationship.

Great episode. Of course, far from Hasbro's thoughts to shake the status quo without some kind of toy to sell behind the idea, but even so, the whole thing was charmingly executed. Pinkie was wacky without being grating, and that is always the best Pinkie.

*Ranty thoughts*
I thought this episode served no purpose other than the two Earth ponies getting together for a family clan meeting.... I MEAN, verify if she is from the Apple "Master Race" (hehe) but it was just that... nothing interesting except a song.
One question I asked (much like the questions I asked about another movie I saw the other day) is why didn't the verify this on the Pie side of the equation? genealogy works both ways...
In other words Pinkie.. ASK YOUR PARENTS!!! And those sisters you supposedly have, unless season 1 has been retconned, which could be at this point.
Oh well... we will always have that fan art, Pie children.
**Serious thoughts**
I am neutral on this. The song was nice at least. Apple Bloom is also sounding older, or the voice capture was off, but no other details right now that I shall pick apart.

Loved it. A simple story well told with some really nice characterisation, a fantastic song and a subtle yet satisfying payoff. As Myke said, Pinkie gets to be wacky here without being obnoxious too, which is one of my greatest concerns for Pinkie going forward.
So many fantastic visual gags this week too (and one horrifying one that if I never see it again, it'll be too soon. See if you can guess which one I'm talking about). Loved the recurring Eagle/Hawk flying around, the cat made of dust, Pinkie's camera etc.
Great spot, I didn't notice that! They even linger on the pile just like they did with the scrolls in the beginning.

Wow, what a great episode! I loved the hawk swooping in and catching all the critters (also that squirrel trapped in sap). This show has changed a lot since the kinder, simpler season 1 days. Best song easily, ranks up with the best of season 1 & 2 songs. I was really excited about this episode, and it really delivered. Just so fun and funny. Can't say enough good things about it. Also, AJ reclaims my top spot.

She's also eating a gingerbread house for breakfast.
Goldie and Pinkie both pulled the genealogy stuff from the bottom of the pile without knocking them over.

bah
That's actually probably the biggest giveaway of all.
Two little things I noticed/realised regarding Apples to the Core - one is that Michelle Creber's voice is noticeably deeper than it was in her last solo part (Babs Seed), and the other is that I think we've just had Big Mac's singing debut (or the first time his voice has been distinguishable from an ensemble).
Talking about this season.
I wanna guess! This one?
...or this one!?
I don't think that was a cat made of dust...
Duckface Pinkie?
Those are both excellent guesses, but...
...there it is. Terrifying.
A petrified cat? But he looked so peaceful!
Unrelated, and not sure if anyone even has a need for it, but I've been transcribing the lyrics to some of the songs this season. Apples to the Core here.

Another enjoyable episode and another AJ song that I like, even though it was a bit shaken up by Granny Smith's voice.
Seeing that was freaky.
Woah, so they really are related.
Oh and can anyone gif the part where in the song, the Apple family was bouncing and dancing around. Very nicely animated bits.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be seeing here; little help?
Loved that bit. Wasn't sure how it'd look fully animated after seeing the animatic earlier, but I think it came out brilliantly in the end.
