Well, one half of Season 7 has already come and gone, at least for those who've seen the episodes early. Let's see how Season 7 stacks up compared to the other seasons, but before we do that let's see how the episode of Season 7's first half stack up right now. Like always, this isn't official by any means.

13. Honest Apple
12. All Bottled Up
11. A Flurry of Emotions
10. Not Asking for Trouble

Well, it's time to update the rankings again. Suffice it to say, the events of Season 8 (and to a lesser extent the movie) have really given me a lot to think about. You'll be surprised at some of the changes here. Here's version 5 from the end of Season 7, let's see what changed. It probably goes without saying, but this list is the result of my personal opinion so please respect it.

8. Applejack

After the events of "A Rockhoof and a Hard Place" this list had to be updated, plus last time around I didn't really talk about Stygian and I feel like now it's imperative to do so considering what's been established in the Legends of Magic comics. So anyway here's the original version, from the end of Season 7. Let's see what changed.

I don't want to do a completely new version of this ranking, but after "The Best Gift Ever" I feel like it's only fair to re-examine the list and make a few updates. Did the number one spot change back to its previous champion, stay the same, or did somepony who's never been at the top before claim victory? Here's the previous version, from just after Season 8, let's see what changed.

8. Starlight Glimmer

Well, the sooner I do this the sooner I can hopefully put that finale behind me. Maybe someday we'll know what the writers failed to convey that would've made it all better. Anyway, while the student six were unfortunately denied their chance to shine for most of the season, we did get a few opportunities to see them grow. So it's time to update the rankings and see what changed. Here's the previous version, from the

Well, I did one for the stallions, so I might as well do one for the mares. It's been over a year since the original version, which you can find here.

Time to see who made it, and who didn't. You know the drill by now.

Season 5 included some pretty good songs, and some duds. But there were a few songs that really stood out, and had to be added to the list of the show's best songs. Because of that, a top ten just wouldn't have sufficed. So instead, a top fifteen is in order. Here is the top ten list, in case you want to see what 10 songs made the cut back when Season 4 was over. And Equestria Girls

It's been over a year since I first ranked the Season 5 episodes, and by now my opinions on them have changed a little. You know the drill by now. Here's the original version so you have something to compare it to and see what's changed.

26. What About Discord?
25. Appleloosa's Most Wanted
24. Castle, Sweet Castle

Here's the third version, from the end of Season 5 Just like the Earth Ponies list before it. Let's see who made it onto the list, who dropped off, who moved up, and who moved down.

Season 6 introduced us to plenty of new character, some more memorable than others. So now it's time to take a look at the ten best new characters to grace us with their presence in Season 6. A quick word of note, Sunburst doesn't count since he was technically established as a character at the end of Season 5 (albiet as a colt). And like all my lists, this one is by no means official, so feel free to disagree.

This list is going to be a little tricky since I can't include Gilda, Trixie, Discord, Sunset Shimmer, or Starlight Glimmer since all of them are reformed now and they really can't even make the honorable mentions (except maybe for Starlight, the Season 6 finale cemented Trixie and Discord's reformations and changes to the side of good, Starlight is still up for debate). But anyway, here's the previous

An opening sequence can make or break your episode, first impressions are very important. And today we're going to take a look at the episode openings that for one reason or another, among the 143 episode openings, missed the mark and started their episodes off on the wrong foot. Like all my lists, this one isn't official by any means so feel to disagree.

This can end at any point with another downvote or two—probably before the end of the day. But regardless, I'm incredibly honored and happy! Thanks to everyone who gave it a thumbs-up and spread it around!

EDIT: Well, it was nice while it lasted. It got a third downvote and was knocked to #51. But I'm proud to have made it to #1 at all!

With Season 6 due to air in the spring of 2016, I think it's time I looked back on how I ranked the episodes of Seasons 1-4. My thoughts on some of the episodes have changed over time. Here's the original version, from back in 2013. Let's see what changed.

26. Over A Barrel
25. Feeling Pinkie Keen
24. Green Isn't Your Color

This is the last season of episode rankings that are going to be updated. Perhaps, by the end of Season 6, my thoughts on some Season 5 episodes will change, or perhaps they won't. In either case, here is the original version. Let's see what changed.

26. Bats!
25. Rainbow Falls
24. Three's A Crowd

With "Newbie Dash" coming out yesterday, I thought it'd be as good a time as any to share my view on how the episodes stack up so far.

1. "On Your Marks" - In my time in this fandom, I've learned that I'm a sucker for CMC episodes, and this one did not disappoint.

2. "Newbie Dash" - I think all the characters were very well-written in this episode (especially Rainbow and Pinkie), and it only just missed the top spot

You know the drill, time for the Season 4 episodes. Here's the previous version, so you can see just what's changed. Remember that this list is not official by any means.

26. Bats!
25. Rainbow Falls
24. Three's A Crowd
23. Filli Vanilli
22. Somepony to Watch Over Me

Alright, let's try this again. It's time to look at all 195 episodes of the show now that Season 8 has come and gone, and see just where they fall. Even just a one sentence explanation for every episode would take way too long and leave us here forever and ever, if so you're curious as to why a certain episode ends up where it does, just ask. As always, this list is purely the result of my personal opinion so feel free to disagree (and chances are you will).

Not everything about Season 8 was bad. Contrary to what you might all believe, I don't absolutely despise Season 8, there are episodes I like that no one else seemed to enjoy (like "The Maud Couple", "Surf and/or Turf", "Molt Down", and "The End in Friend"). And not every new addition to the cast was a terrible one. Heck, if you'll look back to my list ranking the second half of Season 8 compared to the other second halves, adding up the totals left Season 8 in a surprisingly close second to

With Season 7 now over, and the movie's songs having been out for a while, I think it's time we bumped up the list to 25, even if (spoilers!) most of the songs won't really change positions. The biggest surprise is gonna be in which songs are added from where, and how they'll stack up. Maybe once the movie comes to DVD/Netflix, I'll see about ranking all the songs in it from worst to best. Anyway, if you still haven't seen the movie yet for any reason at all, expect a TON of spoilers in
