Season Five Premiere (Spoilers)

Getting my thoughts down in words will definitely help me going through this season. So...BEGIN!

I'm going to start with a complaint, not on the episode though. I watched this on the Discovery Family Channel and my first issue was the time. Now for some people it was 11 am like the advertisements said but where I live it was 8 am. I had a hard time getting up at the time due to weekend laziness (it didn't help that I slept in yesterday either).

However, the episode itself was amazing. If I want to later, I will be doing reviews on Animal Farm and Avatar: Legend of Korra. Why? Just because of this opener.

The Mane Six deal with what the animals, especially Snowball, dealt with in Animal Farm did. The statement, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal", comes to mind.

As for the LoK reasoning, in Book 1: Air, Korra fights Amon, a blood-bender who says that bending should be gone and takes people's bending with his own bending for "equality". Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

The villain in this episode was more mental fighting than physical for most of the episode, which I liked a lot. With their cutie marks gone, the Mane Six had to use mental strategy to gain the advantage. I preferred this greatly to just blasting your enemies away (although that would be awesome to deal with bullies).

And that song, it gave me the creeps but I also was smiling. Why? Because I'm sick and twisted.

My only real complaints was the football reference (I don't think ponies who are all love and tolerance would have something like that), the time in Arizona, and the many commercials in between. Score wise... I'd give it a 9.5/10 and is my favorite season premiere so far.

Now news!
Now, I want some help. I really would like a ponied version for me but, I have no money to commission people to do so. If someone is willing to draw me, then I will make sure that everyone I know knows how awesome they are.

That's all!
