Crusaders of the Lost Mark broke me. (DON'T READ! SPOILERS! WOOOOH!)

The newest episode broke me.

I didn't say it was bad, just that it broke me.

How do I respond to an episode like this? So many things are happening! They not only made DIAMOND TIARA and SILVER SPOON likable, but also REFORMED them. The references in this episode... Tirek AND Discord get name-dropped, Applejack mentions her PARENTS being GONE. I mean, I know they killed off King Sombra, but they never actually addressed death DIRECTLY. You could argue (I repeat, argue) that Tanks for the Memories was a metaphor for death, but this is the only time they ever made any direct mention of death, even if it is subtle. And what really killed me, what truly finished me off...

...THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS GOT THEIR CUTIE MARKS! I MEAN, WE ALL TALKED ABOUT IT, BUT... *Ahem* Sorry about that. I mean, I think almost everyone thought Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo wouldn't get their cutie marks until the show ended, and yet... IT HAPPENED. Oh my God... I don't even know how or even IF I was expecting it to happen. But it's happened, and the cutie marks look awesome, and, I... I... Oh my God... I know it sounds like I love this episode, but I don't even know, everything just happened, and I... I need... I need to watch it again... Yes... Watch again... Ooh... My stomach's hurting...
