S2E15 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000
Wow. I did not recall this one being this bad. I didn't find it offensively bad like the previous one, but wow it served no point. What was the lesson? What did it accomplish? Let's look at the episode. In the beginning the Apple family doesn't have enough cider for everyone, even going so far as to say it wasn't possible to produce more, they were doing the best they could. A set of men introduce a machine that will produce more high quality cider and offers to go into business with the Apple family. With proper negotiations, the episode could have ended here. Instead, Applejack got very prideful and challenged them to make the most cider, insisting their way was better. It initially isn't, and the machine produces more cider in a fraction of the time it takes the Apple Family, so the Mane 5 help Applejack, and they make more cider than the brothers, who then resort to abandoning quality control to attempt to win. They win due to abandoning quality control, but the ponies don't like it and run them out of town, and Applejack and family have enough cider. What was the point of this? What was the lesson? There is none, it wasn't even entertaining, hell Flim and Flam weren't even proper con men. It just felt like almost a "why did that happen?" type of episode.
