Welcome to my review series! I guess reviews are just restating what happened and what I thought about it, so here you are.
Now, let's start off with one of my least favorite episodes: Bats. Lets star off with-I don't want to dislike this episode. In fact, just read this comic below.
(Find full version here: link)
It's even more reasonable because Fluttershy is the animal expert, and even though this is her first fruit bat encounter, she knows what's best for animals. But, then, let's move on to the episode.
So, it starts out as Applejack waits until sunrise, and when the sun does show up, she goes through the orchard to what I guess doing what she did in Applebuck Season. And then ends up with rotten apples because of these "vampire fruit bats." Eh, we have the Cerberus, dragons, a hydra, and a sea serpent, I guess vampire bats are nothing. Anyway, she's shocked or something, then the theme song.
Then, from my memory, she tells all of the Mane 6 to come and help her out with the orchard. AJ retells the story about the last time they appeared in the Orchard. Then from what I remember, Fluttershy steps up and wants to help the bats. And that's where I think this episode is bad; all of the Mane 6 turn into pony plotholes. After that, they have a song. Which I think is pretty good in visuals and music, but the story in it? Nope. Nopety nope nope.
Then Rarity (I think) tells Fluttershy that they have no choice and then Twilight asks her to do her stare on the bats so this spell would work. Obviously, it's a spell to stop the vampire bats. After a while, Fluttershy agrees to do it. It 'works', I guess, and the bats aren't eating the apples anymore.
Next morning, reused animation, and the apples are still.. messed up. They find out it's not the bats, so they go on a nighttime stakeout or something. And then they find out it's Fluttershy!
Fanart dump in 3...2...1....
Oops, wrong pony.
Anyway, I think Twilight reverses the spell, Fluttershy is normal, they write a journal entry, then Pinkie 'vants to suck its juuuiiice' and the end!
Honestly, the only thing I disliked was the Mane 6's attitude to Fluttershy's opinion. That and I just don't like re-watching it for some reason. Flutterbat is actually cool, too.
Welp, that's the end. See ya guys!

Well if I do say so myself we did an excellent job guessing what will happen in season 3.
So here are all the categories of what we thought would happen. The ones with stars next to them are the ones we got right.
1. Background Characters*
2. Mane Six Past and Future*
3. Princess Celestia and Luna*
4. Equestrian History and Other Info*
5. Villains*
6. Music*
7. Shining Armor and Cadance*
8. Scootaloo Episode*
9. CMC Get their Cutiemarks
This did not happen, but the CMC did get about 3 episodes in this season where they played key roles: One Bad Apple, Sleepless in Ponyville, and Just for Sidekicks
10. Relationships*
11. Movie
No movie in season 3, but The Hub is making a spin off series called Equestria Girls.
Now I'll be using pictures with descriptions to talk more in detail about what we got right. I have created a bingo board with everything we got right to provide more visual aid. And without further ado, let's begin:
