We're getting close to the end here, folks. And now apparently the final three episodes (for those who haven't seen it early yet) are going to air on prime time on a Saturday evening (when everyone's going to be too busy watching College Football, way to kill the ratings, Discovery Family). But whatever, that's not what we're here to talk about. We're here to evaluate Rainbow Dash's overall performance now that her focus episodes for Season 9 are done. She got a total of three, bumping her

This list probably doesn't need much of an update to be honest, Shining Armor and Princess Cadence have become even more ignored in this final season than they were last season and neither do I see something like "Best Gift Ever" coming along to give them more screen time. It's really a pity, Hasbro pushed so hard for them and their existence was the straw that broke the camel's back for Lauren Faust and made her quit. Even now that we know "Best Gift Ever" counts as an episode (hence why

We've covered the group members individually, now it's time to include the episodes where they're all together. Mane Six is used to describe the original girls, but Mane Seven and Mane Eight are hard to define. Some consider Spike part of the Mane Seven and others only Starlight. Mane Eight means both are involved together. And with that criteria there is a total of 44 episodes focused on them, meaning that only Twilight eclipses group focus episodes (fitting when you consider she's still the

First of all, think of this as an extremely late birthday president for Chiara Zanni who voices Daring Do (her birthday was July 19). Now onto the list proper, there's probably not too much to really say since Daring Do only got one more episode (bumping her total up to 5) but considering where to place it was tricky. In the end I'm fairly confident of my decision to place it where it is, but you may disagree and that's okay.

With Season 9 giving us two more two parters this list was due for an update. Some two parters were definitely stronger than others, and I'm sure you're all curious where Season 9's ended up and whether any other two parters changed position at all and if so for the better or for the worse. The same disclaimers as always apply, and we're looking at the overall two parters with both parts considered for the same spot.

I was going to make this list update eventually, along with an update for another list. I had hoped to wait until after I'd reviewed the movie more in depth, but so far I haven't been able to obtain a copy either physically or digitally. But with the information that Season 8 will air in late March, I feel like now's as good a time as any to make this update. It turns out that the character of Star Tracker from "Once Upon a Zepplin" was an earth pony and not a unicorn. Therefore, he's being

It's funny how much can change in the span of a season. Even in Season 8 a lot of people were still on the fence about Starlight Glimmer and weren't entirely sure if her inclusion was for the best. But now, in this final season, everyone's been dying for more of her when she's been noticeably absent (though on the positive side Spike has been making the most of it and getting perhaps his best season of all time). Her episodes still remain polarizing, as does her character, but I think many

First and foremost, there are mild spoilers for those who haven't seen "Student Counsel" yet. Nothing truly significant, but if you're on a strict, spoiler free diet you'll want to avoid this list for a couple of weeks. I'm going to hold off on the lists I normally do for mid points in a season until the episodes have aired in the U.S., and the mane eight ranking isn't going to be updated until "Rainbow Roadtrip" comes out and I have a chance to see what (if anything) it does to affect my

Welp... I added an incentive for earning the Star Points: Leveling up. It's just like in TTYD, there are four ranks: Rising Star, B-list Star, A-list Star, and Superstar... and you earn them at the same levels: 1+, (starting) 10+, (900+ Star Points) 20+, (1900+ Star Points) and 30+. (2900+ Star Points) Different Levels and Ranks earn you different levels of permission with me and my

Pinkie Pie has now gotten her last focus episode of the entire show, there are no more episodes focusing on her. Season 9 has been an interesting time for her, for a while it seemed like a triumphant return to form for her, but now she's kind of been stuck in the position of "Good when the spotlight's not on her". And she now has 28 focus episodes to rank, the most of any mane six member to thus far gain an update. So let's see how her two new episodes stack up, and whether any episodes changed

Pipp is the only character besides Misty who got a focus episode in Chapter 5 of Make Your Mark, so I'm updating the list I made ranking her episodes. But only just a little. Since there's only one episode to consider, I'll just list the episodes from worst to best, highlighting the new addition. Then I'll explain at the end why it ends up where it does. And as always, this is purely my personal opinion. Kind of ironic that Pipp is the mane five member with the most focus episodes here,

I figured I'd post a list of how I personally rank the episodes, from what is, in my opinion, the best to what is, in my opinion, the worst so far in S5 with reasons why.

DISCLAIMER: This is my own personal opinion. I have no problem if you disagree as long as you don't attack me for my opinion.

1) Slice of Life- so many shenanigans! Hilarious and random!
2) Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep? New monsters and awesome dreamscapes.

On my user page, I maintain two lists of stories:
Stories of Mine You'll Probably Love
Stories of Mine You'll Probably Hate

Deciding which stories should go in the "Love" list isn't trivial. What makes a story good? I can think of several things:

Enjoyment: a random reader would probably like it
Popularity: the story has a lot of readers
