Where was I? Oh yeah... Odds and Ends! I really shouldn't have posted that and then posted nothing, but I had an incident that spooked me a bit and I wasn't thinking straight at the time. 

Appleloosan Flag
I know I am overthinking this x1 billion, BUT, I cannot help but wonder how official this flag being raised is and what would the proper protocol be for whatever entity like    Appleloosa fighting in some sort of war with Equestria properly is, if such a thing exist. We get evidence later on of extensive regulations in some areas and I think with a monarchy some sort of royal code should exist but part of me goes with a different logical inference that a newly unincorporated place such as here the rules aren't well developed and their isn't some large structuring of subdivisions and regulations outside of the town level. That might be an onscreen inference we can make for Earth Ponies...
(This is a rambling mess).

Odd Shaped Characters 
Maybe it's just me, but some of the characters did different poses or looked a little odd in how they were drawn at small moments compared to other episodes. Rainbow Dash's head behind the rock for example, it looks a little more angler.

Slightly Lackluster Backgrounds
Also maybe just me, but some of the backgrounds here look more thrown together. Particularly the Appleloosan apple orchard. Considering a lot of this wouldn't be reused often I find this understandable; similar to the caves in A Dog and Pony Show. 

Horse Pulled Train
Now, don't have a source, but I have heard multiple times that this was because Faust didn't want steam tech to exist in Equestria and wanted it to be more closer to some sort of  medieval tech level. I recall seeing more than one fanfic using the excuse that the locomotive had broken down but I wonder if that would be the best excuse/reasoning? 

Female Buffalo
Is it only Little Strongheart? LOL, obvious budget constraints aside, why would she be the only female there?
