Hey look, Fluttershy’s last focus episode doesn’t suck! Take that, obviously low blow, here!
I was fully expecting them to just make Angel talk. I was ready to make Sam and Max jokes, too.
Didn’t think they’d go through with a body swap episode, though. Considering it’s the last season, and we’re this close to the end.
Then again, it’s not like I hate the body swap idea. Plenty of opportunities for the actors to do stuff they wouldn’t. Although for this, it’s just Fluttershy swapping with her mostly mute pet. But hey, they did it without using the plot of Twilight screwing up a spell or Starlight thinking it’s the right thing to do.
That being said, I like the slight tone shift with Angel.
If you heard the voice alone, you wouldn’t doubt that the voice is Fluttershy, albeit sounding very OOC.
But there’s still a clear difference if you compare Angel speaking with Fluttershy speaking. It still sounds like Fluttershy, but it’s someone trying to sound like Fluttershy.
Also the line about Discord made people mad, and that’s funny to me.
It’s also kinda refreshing seeing Fluttershy act kinda differently, considering Discorded Fluttershy and Mean Fluttershy are just bitches all the time for the sake of being bitches. Angel Fluttershy isn’t cruel, he’s self-centered and impulsive. And that doesn’t necessarily lead to cruelty. The things he does as Fluttershy lead to disaster, but that’s because of his neglect of the other animals’ needs instead of actively trying to make all their lives a living hell.
It’s a nice change of pace from just kicking puppies and laughing about it.
This was a really solid episode that I can’t find much fault with. A good slice of life style episode where no one takes a nosedive in character development. Though really, it’s not like Angel has the worry of being prey, he’s not leaving the house to do stuff on his own. The little privileged brat got it made.
Props to the show for finally acknowledging the fact that they really don’t get much of a life considering all of them are working two jobs. I just figured that Equestria works on 48 hour days to fit in all the crazy shit that happens in their lives.
Though now she’s gonna have to balance ruling Equestria and the sanctuary…

Because after the “I wanna marry Discord line”, this is the only natural progression.
