MLP: FIM Season 3 Review · 5:58pm Feb 16th, 2013
I wanted to take a look at season 3 as whole. I've noticed that a lot of fans were disappointed by this season.
The Good:
In this season we got the return of Discord and Trixie, Applejack got a singing part, Scootaloo got an episode, Luna had a speaking part, Spike got two and half episodes, new characters like Babs and Lightning Dust, Rainbow Dash got to join the Wonderbolts Academy, plus countless other pieces of fan service like an A-Team montage with the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Yoda-like scene with Zecora.
The Bad?
- A mediocre villain at the beginning of the season, who had less dialogue than a background pony and he looked like a reject from pony creator.
-Lack of any credible treat.
-The episode: Wonderbolts Academy, nothing was really learned, Spitfire was an idiot and Pinkie Pie was beyond irritating, she was like 40 grit sandpaper.
-A meh finale with a a character change I don't particularly care for, so yeah. If you read my fics, you know I ain't sticking with canon.
Wrap Up
In conclusion, while the season did have a number of flaws and missed opportunities, it's sheer amount of fan service was great. Was it as good as seasons 1 and 2? Not even close, but it's certainly worth rewatching and out of the 13 episodes, the season did give me my four favorite episodes:
+ Too Many Pinkies
+ Magical Duel
+ One Bad Apple, top pick
+ Sleepless in Ponyville.
The award for best song goes to Babs Seed...
...it has the most remixes, like my personal favorite.
The song is adorable, it had really nice transitions, a catchy chorus, and some fun scenes like the part in the movie theater. 
The Best Part of the Season?
I think what stood out for me the most was the facial expressions of the characters. They gave us some of the best gif and screen caps.
In First Place we have a tie between Pinkie Pie and Spike.
In Second Place we have Scootaloo
In Third Place we have good old Granny Smith.
I'd give it a solid 7 out of 10.
What do I want to see in Season Four?
Ted The Mule with a speaking role.
Chompy The Beaver Foreman
Harry The Bear

But I would give it an 8.5, I enjoyed it a bit more than others
But Chrystal Ponies!
