[11:00:20 AM] Xjuggernaughtx: THERE! Now that was a good episode!
[11:53:13 AM] Steel Resolve: Well of course
[11:54:42 AM] Xjuggernaughtx: That’s what I want out of MLP. Nice, low-stakes slice of life stuff, with an epic-ish opener, maybe mid-season, then finale. This is how I like my MLP.
[11:55:16 AM] Xjuggernaughtx: A story that fits well within its timeframe.

A.K.A. "Suited for Success 2: But This Time Starring Fluttershy".

This is pretty much an accurate depiction of babies. They suck the life out of everything and everyone around them, because they require 100% of your attention at all times.

I have a bit of a confession here: I was never fond of the idea of Scootaloo being homeless. It can make for some interesting stories, but in a close-knit community like Ponyville, it just didn't sound right to me.

So, that was fun, wasn't it? I honestly consider this to be the best season so far. Why do I think this? Well, I have a few reasons. And I'd be more than happy to list 'em off to you.

No, I'm not doing another poem. There's just too much to talk about, and it can't fit into a string of four-line stanzas. Especially this frankly awesome finale.

So, another season has come and gone. We had some good times, didn't we? Granted, it wasn't perfect, but hey, what is? Now that all is said and done, what have we learned?

Alright, after that season starter I’m looking forward to see what the regular episodes got in store for us, in this final season!

Anyways, let’s get started!

Oooh, this gonna be a Student Six episode? I would like that!

Well, the fish has jumped. I know, that's a weird reaction to this season ending, but I felt it was appropriate. After all, that's how this season felt to me. It certainly didn't generate the same excitement I got out of Seasons 4 and 5. Not to say it was bad by any means, but let's go over what worked and what didn't, shall we?

That certainly was an episode wasn't it? You can just smell all those fanfics and headcanons burning.

Oddly enough, the episode actually canonized something I wrote.

Hi-ho, all.

While I posted my thoughts about this elsewhere, I figured I'd give a more complete rendering here. Just because.

Aaand we are up to date with this season's episodes.

Alrighty! Getting some more options on where to find new episodes as they come out WITHOUT having to deal with scary ads, we are ready to roll with this week’s new episode!

I know about ONE spoiler which is nothing more but a funny screenshot with no context, and that’s fine by me.

Let’s see what we got in store this time!

I need to write this while the emotions of the finale are still fresh in my mind. Though the stories will continue in the comics (and countless fanfics, I'm sure), this is truly the end of an animation era. So, as a final season, did it go out with a bang, or a whimper? Follow me below the break to see my take.

Well, I certainly can't think of a better way to celebrate one hundred episodes of the show. I could tell that M.A. Larson had a lot of fun writing this one, and I sure had a lot of fun watching it. I also have a lot to say about it, so let's get right to it.

I've fallen out of the practice of doing 'live commentary' on episodes, but given the nature of this recent one, I felt it was appropriate to record my reactions.

"Starlight, your work in Ponyville isn't going anywhere."
In fact, you're completely useless. You slacking layabout.

Spike attempts to circumvent his own fame, with the most narcissistic tone of voice ever.

So! We finally get to see Fluttershy's family. I've been clamoring for this kind of episode for a long time, and I gotta say, it did not disappoint. Got a lot to say about this one, so let's just get right to it.

Warning: Minor spoilers from the latest episode, Maud Pie, abound. Proceed with caution.

Yep, it's another headcanon that I can't write a story about. This time, it's because it's a bit of a nebulous concept that doesn't really need a story. You'll see what I mean in a bit.

Welp, that was fun, huh? I know for most of you, the season ended earlier thanks to the Australian broadcast, but I didn't have the luxury of checking that out. Also, I'd rather do things by the book.

So, seeing as the theme of this season was school, I figured it would be fitting to give it a report card to show how much it managed to achieve. Follow me below the break and see my final grade.
