What can I say about this episode? It did beat my expectations with how it went into the dynamics of divorce a bit more point blank than I thought it would. Though this could be also stand for remarriage after a dead parent just as well. I thought it handled it pretty well. Didn't feel awkward or anything. This really was more of Quibble Pants episode than Dash's, which is interesting. I think it works.
Wind Sprint is cute and it does really feel like they were trying to harmer in that situation with a more realistic character. Her voice acting is less cutesy more like a normal child.
All and all I dig it. Can't stop thinking your thoughts on Surf and or Turf, as it goes pretty close territory regardless if you take it as divorce or death. 8.5/10. I almost gave it a 9 but I'm not sure it quite means that mark... at least when I'm trying to way overall enjoyment quality, etc. Still think this episode lesson is extremely well done, and maybe relevant to some of those who are watching. Now that's something to think about there.
Now for some other observations:
1: So Buckball is really becoming big? Interesting. It's interesting that Team Ponyville of all things would be considered a cornerstone of the sport as well. It seems to have been a sport that was played between small earth pony towns but is catching mainstream popularity. There is a lot of places I could go with this observation (size of Appleloosa's stadium. Does this impact Pinkie's and Fluttershy's lives much? Rewatching Buckball season to see if there is anything that sticks out, etc), but those considerations can wait for more later analysis on the timeline and the show itself.
2:
> I never thought I'd get to be in anything like a hall of fame before
Fluttershy said this in season 9. This is not a nikpick, it's in character for Fluttershy to say. Just funny.
3:Quibble Pants' ignorance on things goes into stupid territory with not knowing what bucking is or baskets. Yet it seems to be in line with the urbanized population of Equestria. Remember Aunt Orange not knowing what a chicken was? And that was all the way back in season 1.
