You've got to remember Pony isn't being run by artists, it's being run by business suits, who'll milk the franchise for all it's worth. We live in the era of Digital Distribution, so time slots aren't the single determiner of whether a show continues; shows have more breathing room than ever to find their audiences.

So some stuff happened. I'm pretty pleased with it, I even liked the songs, and DT can sing! I had two problems with it, though:

There's no guarantee this will make it into the final story, but here's an excerpt of one of the later chapters:

"Ok, ok, but if we could find some common moral ground between our cultures that doesn't involve Harmony, that might help explain my perspective to Rainbow." Westley ran his hands through his hair before he let out a breath of air.

"But aren't Harmony and morality, like, the same?", Rainbow Dash said.

It's episodes like today's that make me wish FIM did multi-part episodes more often than just the season bookends. The concept of this episode has a lot of potential, but the important character moments were gutted for rushed exposition and semi-irrelevant callback jokes about Pinkie's baking. I'd say the episode would have been better if it cut the fat and focused more on the griffons and giving them a less idiotic plight, but I'm not sure that's entirely true.

I... just... what.

Ok, first the good things.

1. The premise is good. Showing Rainbow dealing with heartache and loss is a good idea. She invests a lot of effort into making herself seem invincible, so seeing her so vulnerable could have been really touching.

*This post assumes NMM's plan to bring eternal night would have ended the world, not simply changed the skybox texture, the moon is a physical place, and she was aware. I feel the need to say this because we've seen some fucking ridiculous things happen to the Equestrian sky, so I don't feel comfortable saying their sun and moon are similar to ours without also qualifying my statement. If your story doesn't follow these assumptions disregard this post.
