Greetings everypony! I am excited to say that this is not only my first episode review, but the first blog entry I have ever done on the “Windows Live Writer” client application.
Now, about the episode “Appleloosa’s Most Wanted”; it was a good episode, but definitely not one of my TOP 3 in the season,…maybe TOP 5.
The story was great. It is a big “cliché” to many stories I have read and movies I have seen in the past. MLP is a story with pop culture references after all. Aside 
from the point, this story is ultimately a case of one’s own mistaken identity.
Appleloosa feels the presents of a horse (a horse, not a pony) that seems to have his mind set on shutting down the rodeo at Appleloosa. The reality is that Trouble Shoes is just a character who seems clumsy.
He mistakes the meaning of his cutie mark to be bad luck. Not much else to say about it because it does at first seem like bad luck. Until the CMC reveals that he is just a clumsy horse and his cutie mark is just meant for entertainment at the rodeo.
Turns out, Trouble Shoes has been wanting to compete in the rodeo since he was just a colt. He loves the rodeo as anypony would. He was meant to make ponies laugh! And I personally love his style of entertainment. However, Trouble Shoes will still have to face charges for vandalism, even if they were stupid mistakes; and the CMC along with him for disobeying AppleJack’s orders to stay put.
My Comments:
Let me make this clear, I am from St. Louis, MO; home to the famous Budweiser Beer and the Clydesdales. When I first saw Trouble Shoes I said, “That’s Budweiser horse!” They do look fairly similar (See pictures)
I was surprised to see that the writers decided to give a horse a cutie mark. Just in my opinion, Trouble Shoes is just too big to cross as a pony. I do love Trouble Shoe’s clumsiness. His famous quote “Just my Luck”, although sounds to be cliché it is a good quote, something I find funny every time I hear him say it.
“Just my Luck” –Trouble Shoes
In the end, I really enjoyed this episode, it is a big step up from the original debut of Appleloosa in “Over a Barrel”.
Plus, I really love how the comedy tortures Braeburn. The poor guy broke a leg, cut him some slack,..LOL.
The Moral:
Well, the moral can be a matter of perspective: I see several morals in this episode:
- 1. Life’s what you make it
2. Sometimes, you need somepony to believe in
3. Believe in yourself.
4. Listen to AppleJack, or you’ll end up being maids!
But tell me, what does everypony else think? Comment your thoughts in the comment section below,… until then
