Bats! review

Hi!
I constantly keep forgetting that it's Saturday, oh well, at least I get the chance to watch the episode...
Here's the link by the way!
Time to review.
-Summary-
Applejack was about to buck some apples, when she saw that the evil fruitbats have returned. But not usually fruitbats VAMPIRE fruitbats!
...AND intelligent

Basically they suck out all the juice out of the apples. And AJ doesn't want them to harm her precious gigantic apple
 that is a one huge apple

Everypony wants to get rid of the bats except Fluttershy. They sing a cool song to explain why the bats are bad. And we find out that AJ is Batman:


She asks Twi to cast a spell on the bats so they would stop ruining her orchard, but in the process, while Fluttershy was preforming The Stare, she accidentally turned Flutters into a batpony. And nopony knows that until next evening, when the set out on the hunt for the mysterious persona who keeps snatching her apples.

                                 
the symptoms are showing... but those apples... they look sooo goood....

Long story short, they discover Fluttershy's new found personality and try to turn her back by making her Stare at herself. In the end we are shown that she still has the fangs... sneeky...
-Music-

  Stop the bats! Stop the bats!           

 Make them go and not come back!

The image of them chanting  that was awesome! And the tune- it was so catchy!
My sister, who isn't a fan, pointed out that since season 2 there seems to be a lot of background music. Personally, I can't agree more. Try to watch an episode and listen carefully-  (almost) every emotion, (almost) every action is follow by a sound. It can be annoying sometimes but I'm cool with it.
-Personal Opinion-
-  The name "Bats!" is a reference to the musical "Cats"
-Speaking of references- there's a few in this EP! The signals ponies had reminded me of a certain millionaire.... 







the heroes Ponyville deserves, but not the ones it needs


-Pinkie is just... illogical. Pinkie Pie, thats not how manes work!

- Loved the batpony design! And love that the cutie mark changed too!


she is adorable even when she's evil.......
-AJ, what's up with that expression?


-Overview-
This episode was cool, but if it wasn't for Fluttershy's cuteness or that song, I would put it on the bottom of my "Cool Episodes" list. I'm giving it a 5 out of 10. Sorry Flutterbat! 
Anyway, have a great day/night, and see you next year!
