The Shadow Pony from the dreams offered to make Apple Bloom's problems go away by taking her Cutie Mark. Eerily similar to Starlight Glimmer's M.O., but without the equal signs. A lot of people watching the episode wondered if Starlight had somehow learned to screw around with other ponies' dreams. Yeah, I had the same thought at first. The suspicion diminished when the cutie mark wasn't replaced with an equal sign, but still lingered until Luna revealed what it was. Random thought: Luna's dreamwalking reminds me of Psychonauts.

You really should try it when you get the chance.

I honestly thought that the voice was Luna, trying to teach Applebloom a lesson in that dickish "secret" way

Mezzaphor: Well, it wasn't so much that Luna appeared only at the end so much as the fact that in the last two CMC episodes she was more subtle. With Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo she put more effort into using the dreams to sort of goad them towards figuring out the solution themselves. In Apple Bloom's case, she just sort of shows up and gives her the answer. Or at least she isn't quite as subtle in how she does it.

I'm more in bug research, but I do have experience mixing and spraying insecticides. I burst out laughing as soon as I saw AB's spray-can cutie mark.

You know, I was really hoping that it was Starlight Glimmer doing this dream thing. Aw well, still a sweet episode. Was kind of hoping Applebloom might have even actually gotten her Cutie Mark.

I have a very strong suspicion that she'll be getting it very very soon! And I feel that Starlight will have something to do with it, in an ironic twist for her.

She's going to get an equal sign?

Yes...I mean no...I mean...erm...she makes a potion or builds a contraption to help defeat her and gets a CM for it.

@applelight: I think Psychonauts is available on Steam.
As for AB's CM. I'm not sure when she'll get it. I'd guess during one of the final or penultimate episodes of the season.

Same here. I really should get around to finishing it. I started and got distracted by other stuff. Anyway, I love how surreal the dream sequences were. I really need to leverage some of this weirdness for the next chapter of my fanfic. Given that the CMC dreams are involved...
