While I can't say that I disliked this episode, I didn't like it as much as I should have. I've warmed up to Applejack over time, and she was fine in this one.
But the episode barely had any inclusion of the other main characters. I would have loved to see those characters included in more of the preparation. My main complaint is that Applejack should have had a slightly different arc in the episode. As it is, she doesn't figure out that she has over-prepared for the reunion until the end. She should have figured it out earlier, and instead had more of a lesson about not forcing people to participate in activities unless they want to.
I did like some of the character designs for the extended family.
I really didn't like the inclusion of Babs. I like the design, but I seriously dislike the accent. I grew up in NJ, and I'm pretty familiar with the type of NY accents they're trying to approximate with her. It's mostly annoying. I also dislike that they mention Babs twice before having her show up. This reminds me of Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie. "Where's Poochie?"
