Season 8 Pondering (I know that it's actually season 6) Warning: Spoilers? :applejackunsure: · 5:05pm Mar 26th, 2016
Yea, I know, it was amazing! We have gotten SO much INFORMATION from this two chapters. I'd believe an old enemy will be returning... Oh, and then we have more Shining Armor! Celestia and Luna ACTUALLY do things! On CAMERA (and behind them)! And Starlights old friend, Starburst (Sunburst? Gah, can't remember!), I just simply love him!
Flurry Heart is... adorable. There is no denying it. It is also interesting that not even Celestia OR Luna have heard of a pony being BORN as an Alicorn as it tells us that neither was born such, but ascended themselves. This has been speculated for a long time, but now we have some actual answers. But it does raise some questions, like what were they before they ascended, HOW did they ascend? Why are they Immortal? And more.
Now, if I were to sum these two episodes in one word, it would be: YES! While there were some things that could be better, nothing is ever going to be completely perfect, there will always be something you dislike. What differs a good episode from a bad one is, of course, which outways the other. Even a good episode has hiccups, but they don't define them. It's when they do that it becomes a bad episode. So, what did I think was good with this episode? Well, first, Shining Armor. He is one of my favorite characters, while not 'Best Pony', he is on the top ten list, my list consisting of: Twilight, Luna, Rainbow, Shining, Sunset, Sunburst (I checked, it is Sunburst, not Starburst), Nyx (OC/Nightmare Moon), Discord, Changelings etc. (Not necessarily in that order, except Twilight. Twilight is best pony, at least I think so, but she is also best pony statistically (aka she has the highest amount of people who think that she is best pony) ).
So, what did you think of season 6? What are your thoughts about the new information about Alicorns? About the history of the Crystal Empire? And what do you think about Sunburst? Discuss below! I'd love to see your thoughts.
