Scootaloo: I know what it is like to want something outta reach... * wing flap * FEEEELLLLLSS

:) Twilight is so cute when she's all excited about a griffon's cutie mark.

Gabby is 'worse' then Pinkie Pie for being hyper--but you can't hate her because she's just so CUTE and endearing!

This episode emphasizes why Scootaloo is my favorite Cutie Mark Crusader. I relate in struggling to obtain success that most others have with little effort. I'll never forget how I failed a state assessment test by a single point!

I love Gabby's singing voice its so pretty

"She can't be good at everything, right?" .... try and give Gabby cutie pox

I like Gabby's design.

gabby is the griffin version of pinkie pie.

Applebloom:”What the apples are we ever going to tell her? Captions:What the hell are we ever going to tell her? Me: :/

23:00 Their design seems to fit them to me, being heavily inspired by “The Three Musketeers” with the shield shape and personal crest pattern. I often wondered if that was the intention to begin with...

"Spike! Guess what just happened!" It took me quite a few listens to finally understand what she had said there. For a while, I could not catch the part after "Spike!".

i wish Scootaloo will be able to fly

Somebody call the writer of Turnabout Storm, The Griffin Express is cannon now.

I love gabby's character design and voice actor its so cute

The skull and bones cutie mark was a bit of a shocker... As for a Zebra's "cutie mark", it could easily be a tribal tatoo or brew ritual. Never seen a mark on Saddle Arabians either. The Brony Notion comes up with quite interesting CM Theories.

Back in season 5 episode 4 "Bloom and Gloom" when Scootaloo realized they were in a dream and started flying around, I literally teared up

That was one of my favorites of the season, made me love MLP again ♥

"hey that's rainbow dash's line!" I DIED 😂😂

well after the recent friendship summit in Griffinstone, that's why twilight was missing the daring do convention (stranger than fan fiction), I would like to see more of the Griffin culture to see if the friendship summit had any affect on the griffins.

Has everyone forgotten about Gustave le Grand?

Right now, I'm trying to decide which episode deserves the title of best of the season: This or No Second Prances. I will say that this is definitely the second best CMC episode of the entire series. Gabby is the best Griffon we've had so far, and the best character introduced this season. As for the song, while I don't think it's as good as Say Goodbye to the Holiday, it IS one of the best of the season.

4:14 Actually pirates were first confirmed in the Friendship ahoy Comic

This is by far the best CMC episode, nice reaction

OMG I love the griffon version of Pinkie Pie! Or even, Judy Hopps channeling here. And the callbacks to other episodes is astounding! I'm already planning the derpy-gabi fan art XD

Gabby stole my heart in this episode 💖 I can't help but have Gabby as a role model. She alone, as you said, represents all the elements of harmony: laugh: she may not be a comedian who throws parties and jokes like Pinkie, but her energy and optimism certainly brings smiles. honesty: she couldn't keep up a lie that was when she got the cutie mark, it was discovered soon after. loyalty: she cared not to disappoint the CMC and painted herself a cutie mark for them to feel fulfilled, in addition to giving her best to achieve something that seemed impossible to help her original people generosity: giving your time to others to help and understand them is an act of generosity in itself. kindness: well, it's self-explanatory, she feels good helping others. magic: hmmm... how does that specific element work?? It's the most elusive in my opinion, I don't know if she has it, maybe it's the only one that doesn't?? in any case, Gabby is great!

When I first watched this episode I was amazed how much Gabby believed in the Cutie Mark Crusaders even though she was trying to do something that's physically impossible

Well my name is GABRIELLA BUT PEOPLE CALL ME GABBY OMG ITS ME IN MLP!!!!!!!!! IM CANNON

Applegeek did it again!!! Totally going to keep watching your reactions! They're the best! Always the reactor I wait for the most after an episode airs! Love you Applegeek from me in the UK ;)

Anybody else notice that in Gabby's flashback sequence, Blue Note was just casually standing in the bushes right outside the Crusaders' treehouse?

i find that gabby is like the qrifon equivelent to pinkie pie who agrees?

God, Gabby's adorable. And not just her design. She's just so friggin' positive

Give it up.No song can be better than "Say goodbye to the holiday" xD

When in the beginning she slowly lifted the skull I cracked up

awww man, in many reactions they always close their eyes the exact moment I wait for the reaction.

I've gotten emotional over episodes but have never been brought to tears. This one almost made me tear up. It was So BEAUTIFUL!!! If Gabby and I were ponies, we'd have the same cutie mark.

The funny thing about this episode is that in the midst of the CMC trying to help Gabby find her purpose in life, I made a random wild card of a prediction that she would become an honorary member of the CMC and low and behold; my prediction actually came true! I know that Gabby's personality stands out from most griffons but, I can't help but wonder how Griffonstone is fairing at the time after that friendship summit that Twilight and Celestia attended; including Gilda's task in making friends with her kind?

Ponysaurs are canon!

14:59 a pretty smart kids apparently who know lol

Reasons why this episode is perfect: *Gabby*

This CMC episode is great! I love that they help a griffin!

Yeah that intro gag was gold ^^ Love how you called that they can still find Gabby's purpose! Hahaha thumbs up twice for that! I love how the CMCS go from "WHat kind of stranger is this?" to becoming legit good friends with Gabby btw. Scootaloo was gold in this episode.

Oh, btw, just noticed something. The Background music that plays in the episode 08:10 (episode timestamp) is actually "Say Goodbye To The Holidays".

Another feel-good episode to add to the list. =) It warms my heart knowing what a positive impact the Crusaders have left on Ponyville with their efforts. As for Gabby, she is just so adorable and endearing! She really is the Pinkie Pie of Griffonstone, and I hope she never loses that chipper attitude. Scootaloo really wowed me in this one, as she seemed to be the one taking the most charge with helping Gabby. I think this is the closest the show's ever come to confirming that she might really be disabled, and I was surprised and impressed with how mature she was. I only have two minor regrets with this episode, though the first is contestable. First, I feel like Diamond Tiara should have had a slightly bigger cameo than popping up in the background in the beginning. Helping her reassess her destiny was what led to the Crusaders getting their marks in the first place, and she's always had a big impact on their lives, for better or worse. Second, I don't wanna imagine Twi's disappointment when she realizes griffons don't really earn cutie marks, and that Gabby was just faking. Ah well. Still an excellent episode and another excellent reaction! =)

thank you very much for making the sound of the show louder than you because I couldn't see it mainly because my cable when crazy and made it non-existent

I love when you laugh. It makes my day

Where was Starlight? She could've been of much help in this episode.

Gabriella griffin a lesson in friendship. Honesty is a paramount pillar in friendship

youtube is the only way I can see these episodes

This was an adorable episode; while it didn't have as many laughs I love the lesson that it gave, plus Gabby is super adorable! Like oh my gosh! Also the moment where Scootaloo brings up the fact that she wants to fly but can't, that just broke my heart right there. The fact that they brought it up again just made me teary eyed. Great reaction and can't wait for more! XD.

Your reaction to that cutie mark at the beginning...priceless xD

19:28 That moment when you realized that someone did something better than you

Dino ponys confirmed YES I love dinosaurs My OC is Dinopony

i love this ep soo much i want the ep to sleep with me in my bed

My theory into why her name is Gaby has nothing to do with Ponyville Confidential, but rather that she's just so talkative. Also... Derpy = Mail Mare Gaby = Parcel Pigeon

My God, she is so adorable! SHE IS JUST SO ADORABLE! I think i just fell in love... Second best episode of the season for me! After "Hearth's Warming Tail".

I saw this earlier today while I was on JetBlue after the plane left the airport in Florida since they were running an MLP marathon called “Party With The Ponies” on Discovery Family. The problem that Discovery Family is not on DirecTV. How sad. 😢

Your comments on the video is funny, Applegeek. You've got a sub!

Interesting perspective on the title, Applegeek. When I first saw the episode title, it made me think that the CMC's themselves had cutie mark problems (even though they sort of addressed that in 'On Your Marks'), or that there was something flawed about their cutie marks.

I have the feeling that Apple Bloom said more apple-related phrases than she usually does. Maybe she was feeling pretty 'apply' that day?

I gotta say i really enjoyed this episode actually it was really good. I really like the way scoots has really accepted her disability it really gives me a positive feeling inside. Her positive outlook on life is really wonderful i really like that. Makes me look at positive side of things even more.

I like you. Also, you're right about reminding yourself of what makes you special and needing a reminder. I'm told my best quality is being resilient... I wonder what a cutie mark for resilience would look like?

Yeah!! You made a new post!

*clears throat* Twilight: I've never heard of anycreature other than a pony getting a cutie Mark Zecora: *exists*

Technically Zebras, Horses, and Donkeys are all members of the Equine family so it's not really a stretch for them to all be considered ponies here although for some reason donkeys don't get cutie marks

The writers have really learned about continuity!!..Callbacks galore, even some that call back all the way to Season 1!

it was a nice ep. Histery of my little Pony's. sorry about the spelling i am a real bad at it. and i like this ep.

"Just because you don't have a mark, doesn't mean you can't help her find her purpose" Clever

I felt the same way as Gabby when I met Dr. Wolf at a convention. Well I felt that excited but I buried it inside.

She’s not in the air she’s right there......nice line

Did you hear? The CMCs are WORLD FAMOUS! XD Gabby is like Flying Pinkie if she was a griffin.

So basically Gabby is the only Griffin in her home nice and kind until Gilda change her ways

Twilight is the real victim, think about how disappointed she must've gotten

12:44 Zebras are member of the horsefamily

Twi: Ive never read anything about a creature other than a pony getting a cutie mark. Me: *ZECORA!!!*

My mind went to dark places in the beginning with petunias cutie mark XD 😆

15:19 What he doesn't know is that was the same foal from Mysterious Mare-Do-Well.

Her talent is being extremely excited all the time Maybe this: 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😒🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😏😏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😏🤗🤗🤗😏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😒🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

I love how the cutie mark of the pony had a skull on it and I was like ummm is she a funeral person or a pirate and I laughed hard when the parents were holding a pirate costume

Bravo your editing is spot on, reactions are the hilariousityessness (call back to fame and misfortune (pinky pie) and I especially love how u stick to only MLP instead of other trash I subbed like 6 months ago and hit that bell 😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜💖💖💖💖💖

if this show works in the same time frame as "dog years" that would explain how fast time seems to fly. from physic to calculus. they age quickly.

I believe everyone knows about doggy lovers right? Well Gabbie seems to be a pony lover here. Wonder what my cutie mark would be? I like to read and can organize pretty fast but also use to play the b flat clarinet and I can sing bass as well as tenor. I have a semi deep voice

My fave CMC character was Scootaloo but now it's Scootaloo and Gabby!

awesome reaction your my fave reaction channel keep it up Apple

Personally I wish I had 1/1000000000000000 of Gabby's enthusiasm

Twilight: i've never seen anything else but ponies with a cutie mark. me: ZECORA IS A ZEBRA SHE HAS A CUTIE MARK " THE PRINCESS OF FRIENDSHIP"

Gabby was sooooooooo adorable. Hope to see more of her.

Omg! This was amazing! 😂😂

14:56 Yup. And I remember that when I was in school, my teacher Prof. Neigh told us a motto about calculus: "You use the calc - you loose" :D (get it? ;> ) He taught us how to do calculations in our heads so we'd never really need to use a calculator ;J Twilight Sparkle knows these tricks too. That's how she could tell the first 13 significant digits of √546 in "The Crystal Empire" episode ;) (and you can see Prof. Neigh there too ;) ) 21:05 Remember, kids, don't lie to your doctor :q 34:34 This is not the only thing Humans and Griffons have in common :q Others are obsession about money and fighting with each other ;J 41:32 Well, in a way, they can do some shipping together :q (in the mail carrier sense). Great analysis, though, as always. I especially liked your interpretation of the title :>

Pirates were already confirmed, remember Pipsquek? First time he was indroduced during Nightmare Night? He had a pirate costume, all the way back then. Additional note: Notice how all griffins so far have name that starts with G?

13:18 technically she didn’t promise it would happen; she only promised she would do everything possible to make it happen.

Anyone else noticed all the new aliances here ind this Season? The dragons, the Changelings and the griffens? I sense something hygge is on its Way to the show

Erin Matthews was also Little Strong Heart.

honestly, push her in a lake full of pink paint, give her a Pinkie Pie Wig and she is the new Pinkie Pie :D

awesome reaction dude. you're good.

i love this episode

well back, when they first introduced zecora twilight said she's not a pony - but it might still be acceptable because it might work if you look at like similar creatures ^^

1:24 I'm with you +Applegeek ; I'm excited to see what the show will do with the two "alternate friendship lessons" that Twilight mentioned in s6 ep1(you might not have heard them because the E.B.S. chimes were sounding in Starlight Glimmer's head!) : making friends with a griffon and a CMC adventure tag-along! 2:44 Let's do this! 2:50 Mudslinging? Why? 3:06 A CMC house-call? I am intrigued! 3:10 Applebloom drinks tea the same way Octavia drinks wine in "Epic Wub time"! Mind Blown! Your caption could be on the C.M.C.'s business cards! 3:23 Yeah, S.B. we need a closer look... 3:25 what? she's got a archaeologist's CM? 3:37 OK, this is just gettin' wierd! I have the parents' SAME expression 3:42! How did she know? It's Pinkie sense to the sixth power! 3:50 That's not the "Jolly Roger" symbol, Scoots! 3:52 I can't make out the outfit (is it a buccaneer's costume?); but I'll take your word that it was a funny error! 3:59 awkward nervous laughter as the skull rises! OMG! Scoots and AB are "level-eyed" skeptic! (You serious?) 4:45 I'm so glad Scootaloo's scooter is hornless! Slightly overused pun! 4:50 Oh wow! Let the 'Epic Sax Pony' memes take flight! He and Spike should do a duet! 4:57 Yes! and Bulk Biceps could've answered your question with a strained "YEAH!" 5:03 WOW! What's up, Tender Taps! 5:25 Sweetie Belle is being rational. A nice check to too much optimism. 5:31 S.B.? Open your eyes and see where that suggestion came from! 5:36 A griffon as a weathervane? What? 5:49 If I might interrupt your stereotype, S.B.; that griffon looks very beautiful! 5:56 You've been spotted! 6:01 I think that Claire Corlett MIGHT be voicing this griffon! 6:14 and 6:15 two cutscenes that are so! much! d'awww!!! 6:20 it's official, "Greyhawk" (my nickname for her) is nervicited! 6:22 Gabriella? Nice name! 6:28 another 'Dizzitron' reference! 6:33 Griffon squee! 6:36 Did Gaby stop by Sugarcube corner? 6:51 Oh, wow! Scootaloo is idolizing R.D. here! The "aloofness"! 6:57 I share the C.M.C.'s expressions! Gilda doesn't have a CM; so can griffons get them?!? 7:01 you introduced my question into the episode, AB! Nice! 7:06 To Princess Twilight's castle-tree-library! 7:13 Why are you in the clubhouse? Wrong tree! 7:28 We've heard! 7:32 For a split second, I thought the third one was Gilda; wrong feathering. 7:37 Ok, I thought she merely had a regular satchel (like the pony equivalent saddlebags); I did not see that her's has EQ.P.S. (Equestrian Postal Service) mail. A fellow colleague of Derpy's. Cool! 7:40 Don't worry. Give it a day and you will! also, buzz cuts make griffons look more awesome! 7:43 - 7:45 Why? Just like s3 finale? Why do you slam the door in your mailpony(griffon)'s face? MANNERS! 7:52 Sheesh! She's just trying to help and be nice! (Wait! Gabby is like Thorax! Le GASP!) 7:59 YES! Episode-ception! No. 99 callback! 8:03 Wow, whenever the eyes shimmer like that, my heart melts! Gabby looks like Fluttershy here! 8:09 Gabby realizes the power of a scone. 8:18 Gabby is showing strong parallels to Thorax (when he and Spike hung out w/ the Crystal ponies.) 8:23 oh, geez! Notice me, senpai! Got any deliveries, senpai? 8:27 Gilda: I'll just back away...! 8:39 Gabby follows the 'breadcrumb trail' (or word of mouth) 8:55 she's adorable here, but she's overexpectant! 9:00 Gaby? These three can't conjure a CM! They know they can't! 9:04 Yes, she HAD to have stopped at Sugarcube Corner! Nervicited X 100! 9:16 sayeth the president of the Rainbow Dash fan club! 9:22 She is correct! (mathematician pony!) 9:33 Gabby is like: Challenge accepted! Now, go to Princess Twilight's castle-tree-library! 9:39 Am I right or am I right? 9:40 Scoots is like "Is this a relative of Pinkie Pie?" 9:49 Lofty expectations! 9:59 Didn't Scootaloo mean, 'somepony'? 10:03 Finally! 10:18 Wait! Didn't Applebloom ask that BEFORE she made the C.M. potion and got Cutie Pox? 10:25 Princess Twilight knows G4's history! 10:27 Oh, 10:46 I think AB could've said 'what the hay' 10:49 I'm sensing some wild gambit that will wind up in a future reference book... 11:00 Maybe help Gabby find her "calling"? 11:10 Great minds think alike (Scootaloo's +Applegeek's and my own!) 11:23 Good symbolism, Scootaloo! 11:29 Gabby! They're ponies! Not plushies! And you're not Harry the bear! 11:39 Great. Her budding enthusiasm makes this situation more earth-shattering! 11:54 I wish the CMC had some mild sedative on standby here! Calm (and come) down! 12:15 Sweetie Belle, you three need to give her a sedative! 12:18 Gabby? You delivered mail to a pony who ALREADY has that CM! 12:21 A jar of marmalade? Gabby, you're fueling the 'wierd fan art' engine! 12:34 Let them explain, Gabs! 12:45 I think zebras are a very-close cousin species to ponies; so I fell that Zecora's CM is legit. (WHOA! Zecora's backstory! That needs to be a future ep!) 12:50 Good grief, she's seizing on the 1% chance theory! Wild gambit incoming! 12:58 They have had their slow starts, Gabby. 13:05 OH! Scootaloo is showing some determination! (also, loyalty to Gabby's desire!) PROFOUND! 13:13 and...you need the sedative. Stat! 13:20 I am waiting for Scootaloo's "Magic Sheep" dream wings to unfurl! 13:41 Again, their charts are titled "Pihm Dihw" Why couldn't these three have a "C", the patch logo, and an "M" as their 'boilerplate'? 13:54 Confirmed: Sweetie Belle is adorable-est CMC! 14:01 OK, process of elimination 14:02 Song? Yes! Song time! 14:23 I LOVE it when Michelle, Claire and Madeleine rock that C.M.C. harmony! 14:43 Oh, I am loving that solo from Gabby! 14:52 Three stirs will do / Thank you for helping with the brew 14:56 Cheerilee is like "Who are you and the filles won't learn precalculus until they attend Canterlot State!" 15:00 I can see the fillies learning about physics, Applegeek; I did in 5th - 12th grade science courses. 15:14 She's giving a shout-out to ColeRAtuRA there! Squee! 15:20 D'awww! That foal is so cute! 15:24 The stack is too heavy when even Bulk Biceps tips over! Run! 15:26 Gabby WAS able to help her elders out! 15:27 Nice shout-out to MLB's postseason-stretch run! I kinda wish that griffons were a MLB team mascot. 15:36 HEY! Don't move in on Colgate's turf! Especially during the "large-toothed colt (C.o.t.L.M)"s exam! 15:41 I think Fluttershy would approve of this garden as a home for her butterflies! 15:43 Gabby, even Octavia is going to need stave lines for that musical notation! I hope +OrchestralDesign is watching this EP! 15:47 Nice! The Doctor, Starlight, and Gabby are all testing their skills as bakers! 15:57 I think i agree, CMC! yes 15:58 Gabby is looking like a perfectionist! Is nothing triggering that 'electric glow'? 16:13 That high note... have you considered dueting with RaRa? 16:18 Berry Punch and Agent S.D! 16:47 Gabby has "tried everything"! Zootopia reference. 16:53 I like that Gabby didn't say 'flanks'. 17:35 NO YOU ARE NOT! Think of the big picture! 17:49 No, don't be narrow-minded or biased like that, Applebloom! 17:55 Whaaa... your talent is potions? 18:03 Sweetie Belle is flabbergasted! 18:04 They told the CMC that a griffon can't get a cutie mark, but S.B. didn't comprehend it! 18:11 those prolonged pauses...my eyes are narrowed just like AB's were! 18:34 Gabby is SO not wanting to show Princess Twilight her CM! 18:43 I saw a nervous grin in there-not unlike Starlight's when she was faced with mending fences with Sunburst! Something's strange is going on! 19:07 I'm sensing a "deliver and ditch" 19:13 all she does is leave a goodbye letter? sheesh! 19:37 Another 'Gauntlet of Fire' Twi-sci-geek out! OY 19:53 You have enough! Look how much parchment you took to Canterlot in s3e1! 19:55 "Get my ?" Calm down, Princess! 20:04 AB nearly echoed Pinkie's line from Cutie Map where PP quoted Hamlet! 20:14 AB is taking poetry lessons! 20:23 Dr. Whooves! 20:46 OK, the painted CM's HAVE TO STOP! 21:52 You're wrong, Gabby! 22:28 she's cottoning on... 22:30 - 22:45 cutie mark crusaders moralists! 22:50 S.B's eyes... ... what have the CMC hatched? 22:52 Did they sew her a cloak? 22:56 WOW! Is that metal? Those patches can go on the satchelbags! 23:00 To any who hates this CM design? It's an internal award for helping somepony! And, since the CMC is good with metal; those "screams" are INVALID! 23:16 CMC Ysy! Five members strong! 23:26 AB, you do realize that's not even a word? 23:28 Adorable Gabby profile pic! 23:30 Scootaloo? You want to enroll Gabby into the RD fan club? 23:44 Scootaloo showing loyalty! Yes! 23:57 Uh, you might have a rough time; but with that Pinkie-pie-like cheer; I'm rooting for you, Gabby! 24:09 BTW, when will we next see Babs Seed? Nice episode!

Loved " how can you get a cutie mark like that?"

I think I deciphered the title of this episode: the supposed 'fault' in the whole concept of the cutie mark is the idea that it is how you know whether you have found your purpose in life or not. But the truth of the matter is that you can find your purpose without gaining it, thereby defeating it as a trustworthy sign of whether or not you have found your greatest skill. The cutie mark crusaders discovered what they were best at before they obtained their cutie marks, and it wasn't until they understood what exactly their skill was that they received them. So the real goal is finding your purpose in life and committing to it rather than hoping an insignia will spawn on your flank. That is how one achieves happiness. And you may or may not get it, like Gabby here didn't. Of course, different rules may apply since she's obviously a griffin, but we don't know if that matters; griffins, from what we've seen so far (other than potentially Gilda), stick to a single way of life that's probably been handed down. They never really venture out to discover what they truly specialize in. Or the rules for them earning one are just plain different and have not been discovered yet. Granted, with how long griffins have possibly existed, it seems weird that not even one has figured how to obtain one. I think the other potential meaning behind the title may single-handedly lie with the Cutie Mark Crusaders themselves: their cutie marks has misled them into believing they can always help anyone with a cutie mark-related question or problem when in reality, as has been proven by this episode, that's impossible. That's the much simpler interpretation to go with.

Triforcefilms has just posted an acapella version of My Little Pony. You got to check that out as soon as possible.
