Which season was your favorite? · 10:57pm Sep 10th, 2017
For me, upon looking at the seasons, I'd say either 2 or 4. Whilst there were some episodes in season 5 and 6 that I liked, there were other parts that just made me annoyed and confused. As for season 7, there were only two episodes I've liked so far: Parental Glideance, because I relate to what Rainbow's dealing with and The Perfect Pear because we (finally) got a backstory on AJ's parents, and William Shatner guest starred, because yes, Captain Kirk is a brony.
And while I liked parts about season 5, it felt like that was the season the show started pandering to the fans and felt less like a show trying to be its own show. Whilst it had some goodies like The Cutie Map, Amending Fences, Crusaders of the Lost Mark and The Mane Attraction, there were some episodes that weren't very good Appaloosa's Most Wanted, Princess Spike, and What About Discord. And whilst Slice of Life was good, it really was just fan pandering. Let's not also forget that that season 5 told us that Rainbow Dash will destroy the weather factory for her turtle, Princess Luna's been self-harming herself since season 1, and finally, introduced the bland pile of crappy reformed villain that was Starlight Glimmer, who worked better as a villain than a reformed one. Plus, Starlight's shtick of being a reformed villain and Twilight's pupil had already been done before and been done better, in the EqG movies.
As for season 6, the premiere was lackluster, most of the episodes were bland, and I hate the finale. Episodes like On Your Marks, No Second Prances, The Cart before the Ponies, and 28 pranks later were bad and boring. Whilst there were gems like Gauntlet of Fire, The Saddle Row Review, and Flutter Brutter, there wasn't enough to outweigh the bad for me.
Season 2 was when the show found its footing and became really good with episodes like The Return of Harmony, Lesson Zero, Luna Eclipsed, Sisterhooves Social, The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, A Friend in Deed, and Hurricane Fluttershy. Each of these episodes was great, offering good plotlines, songs, and character development. The finale and premiere were fantastic, and got us ecstatic for the show, and was truly when people felt content with what the show was giving us. Sure, there were some stinkers like The Mysterious Mare-do-well, and Secret of My Excess, most of the time I enjoyed what I was watching.
Season 4 was going out of the biggest controversy of the brony community, being Twilight getting wings, so what did it do? It gave us a series of fantastic episodes. The premiere and finale were amazing, and episodes like Flight to the Finish, Pinkie Apple Pie, Pinkie Pride, It ain't easy being breezies, Maud Pie and Inspiration Manifestation were phenomenal, and truly were either tackling important issues or just plain fun. This was also the season that brought us the first season long story arc since season one and actually felt good this time.
As for season 1 and 3, 1 was trying to get its footing at was just kinda 'meh' and 3 was the show trying to be short and felt lackluster as a result.
But that's just my opinion?
What's your guys' favorite seasons and why?

No, Shatner (the guy who played Captain Kirk in the original series and 7 movies) is confirmed a brony because:

And here's him in the role:
My favorite mus be Season 5, but I admit there's some episodes that shouldn't be there like Tanks for the Memories. However, why do you hate Secret of My Excess? I didn't find nothing wrong with that episode.

I hate that it's a Spike episode but everything's his fault. He isn't the one who solves the problem it's the mane 6.
It's a common trend among Spike episodes, which is why Inspiration Manifestation and Equestria Games are stand out Spike episodes.
I enjoyed season four the best because I feel like that's the season where I lot of the characters really grew. (Ex: Fluttershy)
