[Blind Reaction] MLP:FiM S08E05 - Grannies Gone Wild

[@hideki1064]

I love how Rainbow handles peer pressure. She just goes with it and acts like she's been doing it for years with an expert opinion.

[@bronybrewermlpfan6607]

13:44 Never underestimate old people.I totally agree , some of the best times I've had have been with folks older than myself. ( and I'm 50 years old.)

[@Marble_Pie]

*_Are you ready over 50 years old?_* Damn! I have a hard time believing that…

[@NickPaz174]

They also got great stories to tell!

[@cutercills9x9productions9]

I saw many WW2 pilots who fought famous dogfight battles get interviewed in their 90s, and they flew a propellered plane safely and smoothly, probably better than most pilots who are still in service today would. While we should always care for our elders, it is sometimes better to let them enjoy themselves without too much worry.

[@lovelydovey6909]

Trixie definitely takes after her dad, which makes me wonder if we'll learn about her mom and if there will be a reunion. As for his partner, he looks like a pony version of Spike. He has the exact same shade of green and purple in the right places.

[@stolasgoetia93]

I also concur with you about Applejack. I think she's being overprotective due to the deaths of her parents and cannot stand the thought of losing another family member unless she can help it.

[@frankpoole8645]

That's no excuse really. She needs to calm down.

[@princesslightningstrike4592]

Too bad Rainbow Dash suffer because of her.

[@RalseiTheGoat]

@@frankpoole8645 Her parents dying is no excuse? ...I'm not even gonna bother explaining why what you just said is bullshit

[@cutercills9x9productions9]

And we know what she did to Apple Bloom in Season 4. It was justified in a way, but while Applejack may have good intentions, she takes it way too seriously, and it has resulted in a lot of ponies being unhappy (such as Apple Bloom in "Somepony watch over me" and Granny Smith in this one).

[@AlanJia8]

@@RalseiTheGoat It doesn't excuse her making others' lives worse

Did anyone else notice that Applejack's voice is the only one that changed from the start of the show to the end. Her voice is deeper in the later seasons than the earlier ones.

[@titanhades4331]

The Grannies cleary are based on that old series The Golden Girls Apple Sauce = Blanche Apple Rose = Rose Goldie Delicious = Dorothy Grannie Smith = Sophia

[@pinkprincess6136]

I love this episode because of how Applejack ends up haunting Rainbow Dash it's so funny.

[@blaa6]

Dash has come a long way. I'm so glad she wanted to be responsible. AJ just kinda ruined it.

[@TheJaggedCarpet]

I was wondering why Applejack was giving Rainbow advice on taking care of the grannies when she's not the one who even chaperones the grannies to Las Pegasus. I think RD should've talked to Big Mac for better advice.

[@vicmorgana5516]

Question_Mark Knowing Dash, she would have just decided to go for it and wing it. With how impatient she was being, I doubt she would have taken the time to ask anyone.

[@TheJaggedCarpet]

Susan Howard Good point.

[@Longma1]

Any thought on the idea that AJ was just trolling RD and/or teaching her a lesson? Yeah it wasn't clear, and there's room for debate, but AJ did tell RD that she might learn something about having fun. And then there was the wink at the end.

[@arumikahaven]

So happy you noticed and reacted to granny's fabulous hair XD All the other reactors were busy freaking out over one of those ponies possibly being Trixie's dad

[@Narrator007]

8:30 [Um... HOW IS THAT PONY AN ALICORN?!] Must be the princess of air traffic control.

[@guardian08527]

An okay episode but the biggest thing to come out of it, we got to see Trixie's dad! The writers aren't likely to just throw the character out there nonchalantly. I think it's highly likely that we will be getting a Trixie episode either this season or next involving something with her Father.

[@titanhades4331]

I got bad new for you....

[@titanhades4331]

This season is the season for television references when it come to titles and other things. The Maud Couple, Sheldon Cooper Pony, Golden Girls Grannies, Grannies Gone Wild, Breaking Bad pony.

[@DaylightTwinkle]

It’s kinda disappointing the show didn’t make an episode really revealing that jackpot is Trixie’s father. We know it’s canon but no episode adaptation

[@laszlozsurka8991]

The show is really pushing it's boundaries with that title. Seriously how did a title like that was approved in a TVY show? Anyway... Jackpot was officially confirmed as Trixie's dad.

I have heard people raving about Rick & Morty but I have not seen it. (but as it's on Adult Swim I prolly won't because I boycott Adult Swim for what they did to the anime , what was once EVERY night at midnight till 6am is now only Saturday nights till 6am. ( I'm a BIG anime fan ) and what they did just makes me sad.

[@bonbonpony]

"I'm the one who clops" :q

[@meganshaw1987]

I wonder if it was possible if AJ was still trying to get some revenge from the episode Fall Weather Friends because in that episode Rainbow cheated a lot.

[@TPrower]

I myself am still baffled how they managed to get away with this title, but this was a fun episode. Even though I never would've expected Rainbow Dash to share an episode with Granny Smith (or the rest of the Gold Horseshoe Gals), they made it work pretty well. They seem like a blast to hang out with it on a Las Pegasus trip. =) And speaking of Las Pegasus, looks like Flim and Flam are doing a good job running this resort after Gladmane was run out. Looks like they might have found their true calling. I haven't watched much of the Golden Girls, but I definitely see the parallels with the grannies. Apple Rose is, well, Rose, Betty White's character, the naive storyteller. Apple Sauce is Blanche, the flirtatious Southern belle (that poor, poor bellhop). Not sure who Dorothy or Sophia would be between Granny and Goldie. Both prove pretty sassy, lol After seeing this episode a couple times, I'm still not sure whether or not AJ was just messing with Dash by giving her those rules, as though she knew the grannies could take care of themselves, but when I first watched, I thought she was being well-meaning but zealously overprotective, like she was with Apple Bloom in Somepony to Watch Over Me. I do imagine it may be a result of survivor's guilt over what happened with her parents, as you mentioned. To me, though, when I watched this episode, it felt like Pinkie's stubborn insistence on keeping promises in Green Isn't Your Color: if it weren't for it, they wouldn't have to go through so much hassle. Rainbow wouldn't have been acting all paranoid and uptight, getting in the way of the grannies' fun. Either AJ's in for a talking-to when the gals get home, or they're not gonna mention it, and she'll be none the wiser. Still, good to know that the Gold Horseshoe Gals have special VIP perks in Las Pegasus, and allowed Dash to ride the Wild Blue Yonder after all. I'm not a big fan of roller coasters, but it looks fun. Also sweet to see her being allowed to join the group herself. =) Good lessons, too: even if you should take care of what your body can handle, don't let your age dictate how you ought to have fun, and don't judge people and their idea of fun just because they're old. Grandparents can be pretty awesome. =) Some side notes: -I too am glad they touched upon the balance between the school and the Mane 6's day-to-day lives. I'd been wondering about that myself. -Dash was on a roll with the faces she pulled off in this episode. XD -I have no idea how they got away with that air traffic stallion being an alicorn, but I'm not opposed to the idea of male alicorns. =P -I can only imagine what these trips were like for Big Mac, lol. Like you say, he probably doesn't really follow the rules, and the only difficulty is him dealing with all the luggage. -You and I had the same idea about that derp-cat and Gummy potentially getting along, lol -That magician, Jack Pot, is confirmed to be Trixie's father, but it doesn't seem like he knows that he has a daughter... -Gordon Ramsay arguing with an actual donkey, lol. Cranky got his old toupee back, though. -Is there any club where Vinyl _doesn't_ play? lol -I missed Svengallop when I first watched, and didn't even notice him when I was editing. Looks like he's still moping around Las Pegasus after he left RaRa. I would say 'serves him right', but after what you said about him, I'm starting to feel a little sorry for him too... -Pffft, I lost it at your reaction to Granny letting her mane down. XD -Interesting to meet Jack Pot, and have confirmation that he really is Trixie's father. I'd like to believe that he was at least part of her life, but his absence in her life might explain how she turned out the way she was when the show started...It'd be neat to see them meet in an episode one of these days.

[@stolasgoetia93]

I think those trips for Big Mac would be a lot like that one episode of King of the Hill where Hank has to take his mother and three other elderly women to this one island off the coast of Texas or something like that and they get caught up in the middle of an MTV spring break party. That would actually make a pretty interesting Season 9 episode. Grannies gone wild 2.

Also I a glad you noticed Rick and Morty, a lot of reactors had missed them but you did miss Walter White from Breaking Bad. XD Now on to the biggest elephant in the room. Jackpot. I would just love to see Trixie meet her father for the first time and we have a real emotional meeting. I am glad to see more controversial topics in this season. Racism, illegitimate children and who knows what to come. Of course, I do not support those things, but showing children how racism is bad and ect.

[@alweighswright9510]

I mean didn’t we have racism in the very first season with Bridle Gossip?

[@autumbreeze1129]

Al Weighs Wright true, but Zecora is still an equine species. The other creatures are not (the hippogryffs are kinda the exception because they're half pony, though it seems hinted they've been absent from Equestrian interactions at large for long enough the pony half is ignored by that rascist jerk) and it's very different in other ways. The ponies were just scared of Zecora. The chair pony outright treated the other creatures like they were outright dangerous, not to mention insults them to their faces as if expecting them and the rest of the ponies to fully agree

Speaking of roller coasters. I bet you would love the ones they have at Universal Studios in Orlando. Shame the Hulk is not there anymore, or Dueling dragons which was two coasters right next to one another.

[@RYMAN1321]

The way the coaster being promoted and talked about before it closed for good reminded me of "The Great American Scream Machine". A now defunct coaster at Six Flags, Great Adventure, in Jackson, NJ. It ran from 1989 to 2010. During the 2010 season, (it's final season), there was multiple signs in the park as well as on their Facebook page encouraging people to get one last ride before it closed forever. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_American_Scream_Machine_(Six_Flags_Great_Adventure)

9:40 also think it’s the same one Celestia and Luna rode on. Guess they decided to not take it down after all.

[@digitaladventurer2142]

Yahoo! new reaction is up :) and yeah the timespan of a "moon" is definitely a head scratcher that I've been trying to solve for awhile now and my best guess is a moon is roughly 5.2 weeks. My best guess comes from a few different places in the show and Equestria girls stuff. Now in the 1st Equestria girls movie they say the portal only opens every 30 moons. The girls are confirmed to be juniors and since its the fall formal the year must have just started. Now in the Forgotten Friendship special Wallflower says she met Sunset in Freshman year meaning Sunset has been in the human world for around 3 years. It most likely wasn't longer then that since the human mane 5 were friends in their Freshman years start. The time may not be exact but based on that we can assume 30 moons is roughly 3 years or 10 moons in a year. Another good indication is from the season 3 episode "Apple Family Reunion". Granny says they have a reunion every 100 moons. Factoring that into my formula 1 moon = 5.2 weeks then 100 moons =520 weeks and 520 weeks/ 52 weeks in a year=10 years so basically 100 moons is 10 years which is decent time spacing between reunions. And getting back to this episode yeah I know Goldie says they save up their energy all year for their trip here and later saying they've been going on the trip every moon for as long as they can remember implying that a moon is a year but I think that may just be a minor plot hole as it makes no sense when compared to the other reasons I pointed out since that would mean Sunset has been in the human world for over 30 years and the Apples only get together every 100 years for their reunions.

This was just such a fun episode, and an amazingly fun reaction LOVED IT! Nothing much to really add this time, it's a simple excuse plot to have some fun. Also to see if they can get the most un-googlable episode title ever. Also yes, AJ definitely has some abandonment fears, a few years ago one of the writers mentioned that the current idea they had for her parents fate was that they'd been killed in a timber wolf attack, so that really would lead to that kind of survivor guilt you mentioned.

=3 I like to see your reactions to these Even if I think of the show too young for me just watching adults see this is a lot of fun

[@ArtKing3000]

Why does everyone assume Jackpot is Trixie's DAD? My first assumption was he was Trixie's GRANDdad, because he was hitting on the grannies & he has a few more wrinkles in his design than the average stallion in the show (and other father characters in the show for that matter), implying he's older than the rest. So he could be Trixie's granddad. But if he really is Trixie's dad & just like older women, that fine.

[@titanhades4331]

Because apparently it is written in some MLP material that Trixie's dad is called Jack Pot. And this pony that looks like Trixie is called Jack Pot......

[@barrybabygirlbenson]

ArtKing3000 the merchandise confirmed that he's her dad

[@bonbonpony]

Because he's been officially confirmed to be Trixie's dad by TheBigJim Miller, the show's story editor, on his Twitter account, and by the description on one of Hasbro's toys. Not to mention the comics.

[@cody2819]

A friend told me that, according to the show's Ultimate Guide Book, Trixie was a result of a one night stand. "Estranged" parents could mean anything. But if she knows this guy is her....wouldn't she be boosting it or just want the praise for her own merit? I'd like to see a Trixie focus Ep, and yeah Fin...second appearance in this place. Is he out of luck? I mean we saw Coco's old boss and she looked to be doing good. I'd like if their life went down, why? To learn! More so Fin, he badly needs a redeeming Ep as I hate it if he was homeless but.....................yeah, learn like that guy did in Chipmunks Shipwreck. This was a fun Ep. X3 Did they get hurt one trip and AJ promised to never let it happen again? Because this reads Somepony To Watch Over Me all over it. Just be thankful Applebl-I NOW WANT THE CMC IN THIS GROUP. XD

[@georgeharvey4226]

This seems to be another 'casual' episode. Although with a slightly better moral than last time. Here are my highlights: 2:10-2:20 That's rare. Seeing Rainbow Dash in her Wonderbolt uniform while the others are out of there's. Also, hi Soarin, Fleet Foot and...the yellow one who's not Spitfire. What is her name? 2:20-2:24 Well, we know what's coming, don't we? 2:24-2:35 Rainbow Dash is worst liar. 2:37 I swear you're becoming more psychic by the day, Applegeek. You called 'roller coaster' almost exactly as Soarin said it. 2:40-2:44 Yep, we defiantly know what's coming. Rollercoaster dreams for Rainbow Dash. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 2:45 They're feeling thrilled. 2:46 They're feeling sick. 2:48 And they're playing chess. Spitfire is awesome. 2:49 Applegeek's reaction. 2:54-3:25 Rainbow Dash (and Sorin) describing the Wild Blue Yonder to everyone. She makes me want to ride it. 3:00 Hi Young 6. When are you getting another episode? 3:05 That part sounds thrilling. 3:06 I agree. 3:07 Pinkie getting hypnotised. 3:11 Rainbow Dash becomes a rollercoaster. 3:24-3:32 Applepsychic. 3:55 Trust me, you will. Once you see the title that is. 4:06-4:10 Well, not in the way you expect. Don't worry you'll be happy. 4:16-4:20 This is the first time something like this has been brought up - commitment issues to the school, I mean. 4:20-4:30 Applegeek's reaction - both of them. 4:32 Rainbow Dash becomes a puppy. Also, that face and Applegeek's reaction. 4:35 That face, too. 4:37 Applejack lassos Rainbow Dash. 4:43 Applegeek's face. 4:45-5:05 Applegeek's reaction. 4:46 Hi Granny Smith. 5:05 Hi Goldie Delicious. 5:04 Grand Auntie Applesauce. 5:06 Cousin Apple Rose. 5:08 With the cats. 5:28 Big Mac carrying the suitcases. 5:32-5:37 Rainbow Dash isn't a fan of the elderly. 5:37-5:42 She has a point, Rainbow Dash. 5:47-5:56 Big Mac chasing a cat. 5:54 "Cranky Flank Cream." 6:10 Another thing that's rare. Somepony using a hot air ballon as transport. 6:26 Part of me really worried this episode would take the 'Once Upon a Zeppelin' route. 6:31 Question: how would AJ know if "one of them overdoes it"? She's not going. 6:43-6:45 An extremely good point, Applegeek. 6:48 Applejack's face. 6:59/7:03 And you'd be correct. 7:14 Rainbow Dash is impatient. 7:17-7:21 The old 'put one in and one hops out' gag. 7:21 Applegeek and Rainbow Dash's reactions. 7:34-7:44 I was half-expecting Rainbow Dash to start pushing that ballon at top speed. 7:42 Rainbow Dash is frustrated. 8:00 Ear trumpet. 8:28 A male Alicorn?! That's a serious oversight, animators. 8:42-8:45 Another crazy set of faces from Dash. 9:06 Auntie Applesauce suddenly becomes 30 years younger. Applegeek missed it because he closed his eyes. 9:26-9:32 Yep, this is the same hotel that used to belong to Gald Mane. Fortunately, this is all we'll see of Flim and Flam. 9:28 Rainbow Dash weird face #4. 9:37 Rainbow Dash weird face #5. 9:48-9:55 Applejack's ghost head. 10:06-10:12 Auntie Applesauce flirting. 10:15-10:20 As do I. 10:30 More flirting. 10:39 A very, very near kiss. 10:54 It's funny you say that, Applegeek. I'll explain why later. 11:06 That wing gesture. 11:10 Applepsychic. Like I said, your timing is crazy. 11:15-11:28 The grannies are best liars. 11:33 "Sugar Booger." Also, Applegeek's reaction. 11:38 Derpy cat. 11:49 This seems too easy. Which means... 12:00 Yep, there it is. Not the Rick and Morty Ponies, I mean the line. 12:05-12:10 Rainbow Dash can't. 12:13 The two ponies at the back are from 'Fame and Misfortune', remember? 12:14 She's not going to need the ticket if she's not going on it, Applegeek. Besides we've seen she can easily get another one - you don't even have to pay, apparently. 12:22-12:34 The old 'objects under the covers' trick. 12:36 Rainbow Dash weird face #6. 12:41 Pony Dance Stage game. 12:46 Hi Lyra and Bon-Bon. Looks like they're having a girl's trip to Las Pegasus. Also, photo-bombing. 12:49 How'd she get in there? 12:56 Applejack, stop talking like a ghost. 13:04-13:14 Rainbow Dash finds out there are a lot of old mares in Las Pegasus. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 13:24-14:17 Grannies playing for the Horseshoe Toss Championship. 13:38-13:55 Rainbow Dash is really getting into this. 13:42 Good point. 13:58 AJ's ghost is watching you RD. 14:01-14:17 Rainbow Dash ruins the game. 14:29 Pee-Wee and Parasprite Plushies. 14:36 "Paint the town candy apple red." 14:51-15:00 Misdirection. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 14:59 Rainbow Dash weird face #7. 15:18-15:26 Applejack seriously, cut the ghost act. 15:24 "Rollycoaster." 15:37-15:43 Now that does sound boring. 15:44 Gordon Ramsy Pony and Cranky Doodle Donkey. 15:48-15:58 They're seriously hammering this in, aren't they? 15:58 Cousin Apple Rose eating like a dog. 16:34 Face-plant into nachos. 16:37 I think we all know who this is, right? 16:38 Yep, Vinyl Scratch. How many dance studios does she own? 16:39-16:43 Rainbow Dash's awkward dancing. 16:42-16:46 Ponies can moonwalk! 16:45 We get it AJ, be quite. Also, I said it first, Applegeek. 16:49 Rainbow Dash shares my annoyance. 16:55 That's an understatement. Also, I never noticed him before. Good spot. 17:02 I'm very intrigued by the pony on the right. I'll explain why soon. 17:15-17:27 Here's something we've never seen before: Granny Smith with her hair down. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 17:19 Little fillies?! 17:42 Hi Lyra and Bon-Bon again. It looks like Lyra is unimpressed by something. 17:46 Applesauce's eyebrows. 17:55-18:01 As do I. 18:03 Very Important Pony. Get it? V. I. P. 18:19-18:21 Actually, the "stick in the mud" was two episodes ago. His name was Mud Briar. 18:22-18:28 Applegeek caught on. 18:28-18:40 Will you quit rubbing it in her face! 18:42 As do I. 18:47 Hi Lyra and Bon-Bon again. 19:17 That's the same stallion Rainbow Dash tried getting help from earlier. 19:23 Nice get-ups, grannies. 19:30-19:50 Now this does seem incredibly risky. 19:51 Not really AJ. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 20:05 Where did all that water go? 20:18 Pish-"tosh"? 20:23 Spoiler. 20:33-20:37 Maybe you should've run the other way guys. Also, here's that point I wanted to make. Take a good look at the pony on the right; blue coat, white mane, purple eyes and something of a failing magician. There's no denying it, he's Trixie's dad! 20:40-20:56 Applegeek shares my thoughts. 21:03-22:03 Once again, I feel like the climax/solution was pretty rushed in this episode. It took only two minutes. 21:07 "Wetter Hen." 21:13 Wow, she went from angry to sympathetic quick. 21:33 Well, I guess AJ really is overbearing. 22:00 "Fish Flavoured Kitten Kibble." 22:11 The Gold Horseshoe gals have special privileges - like fast access to rides. 22:13 I was just about us to mention that. How many jobs does this guy have? 22:25 Eights seasons in and we still don't know what the time scale of a "moon" is. Neither does Applegeek. 22:28 Rainbow Dash's smile. 22:37 Hi Lyra and Bon-Bon again. 22:38 Oh she does. 23:00 I never noticed that before. It reminds me of when my nan lost a hearing aid on a roller coaster. 23:00-23:02 Why do all photographs in the show look cheep and less detailed now? They never used to. 23:04-23:10 I agree. It was a bit anti-climatic. 23:16-23:34 Rainbow Dash becomes part of the Gold Horseshoe Gals. 23:39 Applejack's wink from the sun. 24:05-25:29 Applegeek still pondering over the identity of the white-maned magician. Overall, this was another relatively good episode. Even if the pacing was a bit rushed towards the end, it has a nice message about appreciating the elderly. Rainbow Dash learns this by slowing down and loosening up, so she and the grannies can have a really great time together. Plus, she didn't have to sacrifice her ride on the rollercoaster. This season might be struggling to stay on par with the 7th, but I'm really looking forward to the next reaction - especially the first 10 seconds. See you then.

[@SophieCxt]

The pony that was leading the balloon down was an alicorn.😂

[@ang8812]

[@joeypincombe8384]

Starring contest maud vs fluttershy who would win ?

[@williamharmon4039]

I think you might have missed it because you closed your eyes, but when Apple Sauce mentioned the spa when they arrived at their hotel she pulled the wrinkles on her face back and looked like a young pony for a moment.

Glad you had fun on your trip.
