I can't wait for animated gifs of the tick-tock head. It make a great "Time for Ponies!" image.

Also, Nana Pie was a gypsy. I'm pretty sure of it.

Nana is a term for grandmother, so Nana Pie and Granny Pie are probably the same pony.

S3E3 - First thoughts (on the full episode)
This was a fun episode, I quite enjoyed it.

I am a little concerned that apparently Pinkie's antics are now real phenomena that the other ponies acknowledge as real, as opposed to comedy effects that only we see, or things that are only in the minds of other ponies. Unless only the clones, being magical creations, can actually do some of these things? I never liked the idea that Pinkie actually does break the fourth wall and defies the pony laws of physics/magic, I always prefered to think she's just a silly pony but still a perfectly ordinary pony with no strange abilities (aside from her Pinkie Sense, which my headcanon says is just Pinkie being secretly a super genius able to correlate the tiniest of clues and hints subconsciously in order to make predictions), and that all her fourth-wall-breaking and stuff is only on screen, only for us, and not how the other ponies actually see it.

So apparently turning an apple into an orange is way harder than turning anything else into an orange, or turning an apple into a chariot and mice into horses. Tells us something about how magic works in Equestria, perhaps?

This is a world where inhabitants can use literal magic, fly, sleep on clouds, move faster than the sound barrier under their own muscle power, produce light while doing the same, and run full-force into solid rock without injury. We either need to assume that some of the stuff on the show is just there for visual gags, or assume some really lenient laws of physics.

And as for apples and oranges, it seems like Applejack's family feud is so strong is affects the rest of reality.

"Too Many Pinkie Pies". Sometimes just one is more than enough...

Quick, fandom! Which Daring Do is that?

Did she just ask who Applejack was? Does that mean this is mirrorworld thing going on?

Looks like Sapphire Stone again.


Listen again. "Pinkie Pie" said she was going to Applejohn's barn raising.

EDIT: Final thoughts!

Also, are the two other members of the Apple family we saw new background ponies, or have we already seen them?

If I am recalling right, one is Apple Fritter, one of the ponies that Applejack introduced in the first episode. I don't recognize the other right off hand.

Things that stood out:
Orange-d animals are apparently still sentient.

Not really episode-related anymore:

Now we need a story where Equestria gets crossed with a world full of sentient oranges.
