SpoilerLast thing I want to mention was the scene between Antoine the python and Muriel the baby elephant.When AngelShy gave Antoine's cookies to the fire lizard and he slithered away menacingly, I was like "No way...they're not going to show that...not in MLP..."Spoilervisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginYeah, that freaked me out a little bit. In the end, a pretty good episode. Nothing fantastic, but a fairly solid one.
SpoilerWhat exactly did I watch? The experts aren't an expert at their careers, there was no explanation for the transformation at all and the viles were exactly the same. Angel was behaving badly and should've been told off for her behavior.

Granted, a firmer sense of discipline would be appreciated.
Angel hasn't really changed much at all.
I've never felt the hatred of Angel that some people seem to have. He is a brat, yes, but being a cat owner myself, I am VERY familiar with brat pets. (Listen, if you have never refused to let your tomcat go outside for one day because the neighbors are doing heavy construction to their property, and then woke up in the morning the next day and stepped in cat vomit placed exactly beside your bed where you put your feet every morning, you don't have a brat pet.)I thought a body switching episode was a good idea! Especially between a pony and a non-pony. When I realized what was happening, I felt like a little lightbulb went off in my head like "Oh wow, yeah, they haven't really done this before, have they?" It was nice to see some good ideas for plots that hadn't been done yet, even after nine seasons.Of course the "you will understand a friend more if you walk a mile in their shoes" is a storyline that has been done a few times already in this series, but like I said, the pony and non-pony POV's kept it fresh and different from the other eps.I'm a little mad that we didn't get any sort of backstory for Zecora. Not that it would have had anything to do with the episode, but I really wanted a backstory for her before the end of the show, and with so few eps left, I doubt it will happen now. At least it was nice to see her again before the end, even if we didn't learn anything new about her.Post Merge: September 09, 2019, 10:21:36 AMQuote from: StarSwirl05 on September 08, 2019, 08:34:15 AMAngel hasn't really changed much at all. Eh, the difference between a pet character and a sentient character is that they don't really change that much, especially in the personality department. Yes Angel shows a lot of sentience, but clearly he's an "animal" character like Opal and Winona, not a "person" character like the ponies. I'm not expecting a lot of character growth from an animal character.
Don't you think all the pets are "sentient" - it just means able to "perceive" things- which is really all animals I can think of (even bugs)

And their relatives, the buffalo, are the stand-in for Natives. Who gets to be a pet and who gets to be a person is warped, so Angel is his own person as well as Fluttershy's pet. The most pet-like pet might be AJ's dog and Pinkie's gator might be furniture Btw, anyone notice how some of the pets vanished over the seasons? Whatever happened to Twilight's owl? Did she set him free after Tirek destroyed her house? I am legit asking. I don't remember the owl sticking around.

Granted, a firmer sense of discipline would be appreciated.The vet is supposed to be good at taking care of animals as is Fluttershy but neither did anything useful. The vials clearly reacted differently so to me that implies different formulas. There wasn't an explanation for why they'd react differently. Angel hasn't really changed much at all.

Angel hasn't really changed much at all.I can sort of see where you're coming from with Dr. Fauna (the vet). She probably could have contributed a little more, but bear in mind she can't do what Fluttershy does exactly. What would you want her to do exactly?The vials reacted differently? Different formulas? What do you mean?
