That's poor in both senses, I'm afraid! Though before I say any more, I need to stress that I have a warm, safe home, enough to eat, internet access... the essentials, really. I am not in danger of losing those. However, I won't be doing much beyond those essentials for a while. Without going into boring details, I will very shortly be going in for dental work to be done. Which, as
I keep my online activity to an absolute minimum on Christmas Day, so I'll take this opportunity to wish all of you reading this a Merry Christmas!¹ However life has treated you over the past year, I hope it treats you better over the next. I shall be back to reading Fimfiction on Boxing Day!
Loved it! A few little quibbles, not all the acting from the newcomers was stellar and sadly parts of the gender-related stuff felt awkward and forced, eg "something a male-presenting Time Lord wouldn't understand", but I liked much more than I didn't. Plus one of my worries about the new Disney-cash-infused Who has been dispelled: this definitely did
Fortunately not in the literal sense! But yeah, I'm currently stuck at home, yet not feeling well enough to concentrate on ponyfic. It's a seriously annoying combination. 
This is inelegantly copy/pasted over from the (slightly) nicer looking report over on Louder Yay. Of course, I'm sure you all read Louder Yay anyway because you're such great people, but just in case here's the report here as well...
Look, I don't care, all right? I'll fret about how the Pillars might change the show's dynamics later. Right now, I just have a warm fuzzy glow from seeing the Mane Six use the Elements again. Everything else is secondary. I'm so happy. ★★★★★

I give it 6/5 stars. I loved it. This was right up there with A Canterlot Wedding.
Yup! Epic!
Honestly one of the most enjoyable finales for a while. It took me a second to work out why, but I realised that things were being slowly soured by loose ends since Season 4.
I think this felt so satisfying because we got answers to so many questions. We know where the Elements came from. We know why the tree and the castle and the table are all things. We met Starswirl and he was a DICK! And it was great!
The fandom has had many theories of a previous 'mane 6' who may have wielded the elements (usually involving the Princesses), but it's cool we now have a canon version of said figures.
I loved this finale. I loved it because it tied up loose ends, or at least it feels that way.

I was delighted that Starswirl didn't turn out to be some twinkly old gent. He's basically Pony Gandalf, so he needed an edge to him.
