So...was it good for you? · 11:34am Mar 28th, 2016
Just wanted to get people's reactions to the season 6 premiere the other day.
I know that the reveal of the new bouncy baby brat drew quite a lot of contempt. I agree that it felt a bit odd to me at first, but the writers were able to pacify me by showing how this particular baby was not normal, not even for alicorn's, not too mention according to Luna and Celestia, there has never been a born alicorn before.
I actually like the fact that Starlight Glimmer is now Twilight's student, and i could sympathizes with her plight in meeting her old colt friend. Although bummer how it turns out he isn't the great wizard she thought he would be and she wasted a good deal of her life being cruel and manipulative for nothing.
All in all a very interesting premiere...one that has been both dreaded and hyped and one which was actually quite entertaining and fun.
I like it... but not as much as I thought.
Let me explain: I love the interaction between Starlight and Sunburst (in fact, it was probably the highlights of the entire chapter), I don't have a problem with Flurry Heart and most important: Twilight's parents talk!
But unfortunately it has the same problem I have with Princess Twilight Sparkle: it feels very anti-climatic, nothing really happens until the second half, the first one has its positive points like the comedy, Starlight adapting to live in the castle and Flurry Heart, but the really important stuff occurs until the second one.
I'd heard many people saying that the show has hit seasonal rot like The Fairly Oddparents. Although it's too soon to conclude this argument I can see why. All I ask are 2 things: Meghan McCarthy returning to the writer staff and no Dusedau and Confalone.
2.5/5.

I'm trying to think of shows that have done the two part episode well...other than having everything of importance occur in the second episode.
