Well this updated list is going to be a little bit different, owing in large part to the fact that Cadence hasn't gotten anymore episodes dedicated to herself, and Celestia and Luna have only had episodes where they share the spotlight. There really wouldn't be a point in talking twice about the exact same episodes for both characters, especially when they end up in the same spot. So I'm just going to list all the episodes focused on the princesses based on how I feel they function as focus

Season 9 ultimately gave us two more celebrity characters (along with a couple of returning ones, not counting Discord who has been a reoccurring one since Season 3), so this list needed to be updated. Like the first version I'm only counting celebrity guest stars on the show and not the movie, the movie's "celebrity" voices seemed to mostly be professional actors or well renowned VAs with only Sia being different (she's a musician, apparently from Australia). I don't hate any of these

Another season, another round of examining characters. Starting with the earth ponies, and we got quite a few. At least one of the newcomers made it onto the list, but how many new ones did and who did they end up replacing? Well, you're about to find out. Here's the fourth version, from the end of Season 6. Let's see who moved up, moved down, got added, or dropped off. Before we begin though, there are some

I would've loved to do a list ranking the songs for Spike, but he only got one (not counting that improv with the Cloudsdale Anthem in "Equestria Games") and it really didn't do anything for him character wise. Starlight Glimmer, at least, did get more than one song even if it's tricky deciding what counts. Ultimately, there are five songs that I think count for her. And now we're gonna rank them all from worst to best, based not only on personal enjoyment but also what they do for her as a

Ever since Make Your Mark debuted last year, many have been arguing and claiming that Zipp has become the true main character of G5. And it's not hard to see where that argument comes from, Zipp (along with Pipp) has been featured prominently in a lot of G5 media, to the point where I daresay she's become the new Sunset Shimmer of the group. Yet despite that, if we're only going on Make Your Mark, Zipp has only had four episodes/specials where she for sure has been the focus. Which ones have

I did a list mentioning G5's villains almost half a year ago, And after what happened in "Secrets of Starlight", this list needed to be updated to reflect some newcomers. But did anything else major change? Well, let's find out. If you're curious, you can see the original version here. And remember, this is just my personal opinion.

Much as I might like to include "Secrets of Starlight" on this list, it's both the only special that would appear on this list and it's double the length of any other episode. You can consider it an honorable mention. With that out of the way, with Make Your Mark apparently wrapped up for good, I think now's as good a time as any to cover what its best episodes were. I think there's just enough to justify a top twelve instead of a top ten. Of course, this is just my personal opinion so please

While the CMC shined pretty well this season, I think it's safe to say that their group dynamic has gotten a tad bit stale. Individually we have a good sense of their personalities, but they seldom seem to be at odds over the problem facing them. I already made this list once before, after Season 6 ended, but there are a few changes that I felt warranted a revisiting of this list (the reason why I didn't touch the CMC or the princesses in ranking here, is because none of my opinions on them

With one final premiere to add, the time has come for this list to be updated. I'm sure you're all very curious as to where the new premiere lands compared to the others. Well, here's the first verison, let's see what changed. Same disclaimers for all my ranking lists apply.

Even if they get some kind of role in the upcoming finale, at this point my opinions of the student six (or the young six or the creature six, whatever you wanna call them) have pretty much been set into stone. I should mention that this list actually isn't how they would stack up overall, if you want to see that then check out my recent ranking of them on Deviant Art which can be found

Expect more updated ranking lists like these in the coming days and weeks as we get closer to the end of the show. Having watched ahead to Episode 23, I can now safely say that Applejack has gotten nomore focus episodes. She got only one this season, which brings her total out of the entire show up to 27. That's actually impressive when you consider her reputation as a "background pony", the one who tends to be forgotten and ignored. But where exactly did her final focus episode land compared

We did indeed get a few more Valentine's themed episodes in this final season, so naturally this list warranted updating. Plus, there was one episode that didn't make the cut last time around that I think deserved to be included here. As this is a themed episode list the criteria is on how the episode works when tied to that specific theme ("Slice of Life" still doesn't count since the wedding was more of a backdrop used to set up the plot and only really came into play at the very end). As

There's a reason why I waited until after "The Big Mac Question" aired in the U.S. to update this list, the CMC played a pretty big role in that episode. Plus, that means that retroactively I can include "Hard to Say Anything" alongside the CMC episodes we got this season (I don't count "The Break Up Break Down" as a CMC episode because their plot was tacked on and if not for what we saw earlier in the episode it would've had nothing tying it to the overall plot). Sadly, Sweetie Belle didn't

Having also seen ahead to Episode 23, I can safely say that we saw our last Rarity focused episode today. One that most people don't seem to be thinking too highly of, and I'll agree that it's not the best way to send her off (she deserved better). But I've made it no secret that she has had bad episodes before, and it's easy to forget that early on in the show she felt like the weak link, the character that just had to be there. But having got two focus episodes this season, Rarity's total of

Big Macintosh was the first major stallion we were ever introduced to on the show and has undeniably been the one with the most screen time. Though famous for being a stotic who usually only says "Eeyup" or "Eenope", this guy has surprisingly managed to snag more than a few episodes focusing on him. Alongside the CMC he was probably the first secondary character to get one (I really can't do one for Cheerilee since the poor mare only really got the spotlight for "Hearts and Hooves Day", and
