Regardless of whether you loved or hated Magical Mystery Cure and alicorn Twilight when you first saw it, it was still the Season 4 premiere that followed (Princess Twilight, Pts. 1 & 2) that made the overall story viable in the long term.

Okay, I normally don't do this. Usually when it comes to episodes, I like to hone in on a specific point that caught my attention and save my review and reaction for the Comments sections of other blogs. But this episode was just full of so much win and I got so much out of it that I can't pick one specific point. So, I'll just rattle off a few here.

I just realized I haven't posted my inane ramblings in a concentrated from in such a long time, I need to remedy that.
So I was thinking about the cross and arrow universe recently, and realize that a lot of characters have been introduced to the MLP universe since that story, and so, to take a break from my other products, I've decided to ramble about their gender swapped counterparts.
(note: this blog will focus only on characters introduced after EQG1)

As many of you are probably now aware, we have been deceived. I cruel trick has been played on all of us, and I, for one, won't stand for it. The release date for the first episode of season 6 has been revealed, March 26'th for those living under a rock or enjoying their lives, and the gap between season 5 and 6 is a lot smaller than we were expecting, something that makes me very angry. How dare they do this, the nerve of Hasbro, to call this a hiatus. It's four months. Four bucking months!

I find myself once again unable to talk about just one thing with this episode. I've been anticipating this ever since Games Ponies Play, and it did not disappoint. So, let's go through the list:
1. Back when Magic Duel came out, I made a joke about making a drinking game out of the number of callbacks in the episode. If you tried that with this episode, you'd probably end up plastered halfway through.
Chances are that you stumbled across this profile because you read "The Legend of Friendship". If that's the case, then you might like what I have here.
After "Outcasts" is done, the story finally continues and we finally arrive at Season 4 of "My Little Pony - The Legend of Friendship".
