> How? How did two ponies contribution matter enough that a significant percentage of leaves didn't fall? It doesn't make sense!
I have a proposal, although the reasoning is still perhaps a bit flimsy. When Applejack is given a lift in Pinkie's balloon, as a result she would have skipped a large portion of the racetrack - and given that Applejack's a particularly strong Earth Pony, perhaps her contribution to that particular stretch of the race was the vital component to those leaves falling. It's the only thing I can think of, and it fits in neatly with my theory.
> Not saying inches violates this, just noting.
I would normally say that since Pinkie says it we can somewhat doubt it, but just next episode Fluttershy mentions France so this sort of thing isn't a one-off.

> Twist had a unique design and traits, I wonder if anything more was ever considered for her? 
She's one-note enough that I somewhat doubt it, at least in the form we see her. Perhaps earlier in development, though.
> That is your lowest rating thus far but I certainly understand it.
It's the sort of rating where I think it'd be pretty good in a later season. It's still above average, by being above 5, but in season 1 the norm is hovering around 7 or 8 in terms of enjoyability.
> My personal thing is based on degree, joking spooky and childish spooky = comfy.
Agreed. In a way I'd say the problem is adults and teenagers joining in with it and making it "theirs". Stuff like Santa in Christmas is more for kids with there being traditions that are more for adults, I'd much prefer halloween if the spooky stuff and dressup was just for kids and adults just did stuff like pumpkin soup or whatever. Mind you, here I am watching My Little Pony, so I'm not one to judge what adults do necessarily. 
> although I will point out that from dialog/what is shown on screen at the end, Rainbow Dash's did seem to matter. 
It does imply that, though again I just sort of assumed it was really just Applejack making the leaves fall at the end. 
> I'd argue that the slapstick here isn't that reality breaking and the ponies have show some similar feats in other situations. 
That is true, but it's just one after the other here to such an extent that I'm struggling to view it as "canon events", almost.
