I don't have a lot to say about this season's opening episodes besides now knowing that the MLP movie is now deemed canon, Twilight now has her own SCHOOL, and we have a lot of new characters that I... actually kinda like.

Though I have one big problem with this premiere... the EEA. I'm not gonna say much about them except for one thing... after what happened during these episodes, they should be fired... such assholes...

That's all I gotta say.

Firstly, I know I’m late in reacting to this. I was busy with school. Secondly, I’m still busy with school, and I will be even busier with school in the future, so I’m going to have to keep this short. I also might not be posting much for a while. Anyway, here are my thoughts on the finale and maybe the season as a whole.

Mane Six things:

1. I love how Twilight is learning how to rely on her friends more with saving Equestria stuff.

A longer version of this post, with a little analysis, is on Louder Yay. But I'll include the headline ranking list here, after the break. My own rankings are in brackets after each episode name.

I don't have much to say except... FLUTTERSHY YOU ARE AMAZING!!! She has been climbing my favorite meter quite a bit ever since the episode with her brother. It really shows that her character development has improved a lot and believe it or not, KEPT IT WITHIN HER CHARACTER!!!

Now... which Fluttershy persona is best?

Hello and welcome to the Logan Disagrees With Ninety Percent of Fimfiction, Apparently Show! Because I really liked this episode, and remember I'm a big Celestia fan. Going into slightly more detail than usual for a blog mini-review, so I'll put it past a break. But my score is an unashamed ★★★★.

This is either going to be one of the best or one of the worst seasons of pony.

Okay, so I've finished season 8, and I've got to say, it surprised me. For such an old show (especially one that's had difficulties with executive oversight stepping on the team's toes frequently) season 8 still managed to not only have some great episodes, but some solid characters and even more interesting lessons and concepts. But out of all of those, the one that shocked me the most, and ended up being my favorite character of the season?

Gallus.

Hello everybody!

I'm still feeling the writing itch thank god, so I was thinking; Should I start working on chapter 8?

The original plan was trying to keep a 2-week schedule. However, the "bulk" of the votes already came in and from what I can tell, there's an almost unanimous agreement on what should be done (At least regarding the Queen).

Yes, there are still annoying continuity issues. Yes, the "here's Fluttershy going over the top" bit is still overlong. But honestly? It was more fun second time through. I think this might be because on initial viewing I was on tenterhooks waiting for the bits when Rarity and Fluttershy bonded in some adorable way -- and, except right at the end, I didn't get them. I felt so disappointed. Second time through, I knew I wasn't going to get that and so it bothered me less when it didn't arrive.

Yup. It's 11/8 (or 8/11 for those who place the days first) for the first and last time this year.

Can't say much about this one without spoilers, but I thought it mixed rather too much cringe humour (even for me) with some really interesting character development. This three-star rating is definitely one of the more provisional ones, but it may take until much later in the season (or even series) to firm it up entirely. ★★★ ★★★★Bumped up to four on a rewatch!

I just watched the Season 8 premiere.

First off, the things I liked.

I love the new characters. I think they are written really well, as they reminded me of my own students. I'm especially fond of the Changeling girl and Gallous, the Griffin boy.

Also, I wanna see more of Grandpa Gruff.

I also like the concept of them opening a school and I'm looking forward to what they're going to do with it.

Now, the cons.

Another entertaining-but-not-amazing episode. I really liked Starlight in this, and I thought Limestone was good fun as well. Pinkie and Maud were generally good but iffy in the first act, and I was disappointed that Marble was reduced to a couple of mumbles. Not one of Nick Confalone's best, not one of his work. An okay episode. ★★★

(Oh and yeah, The Danger Within is still coming along. Slowly, too slowly, but it is.)

It's all in the title, but I think you'll like what proto-Celestia feels when she encounters her first Foreigners.
