Continuing my review montage with a look back at the Season 6 finale.
I'm one of those people who has loved each finale more and more since Season 4. I know a lot of people may probably disagree with me on that given the divisive reputation that The Cutie Re-Mark has developed since it aired. But I still personally love that finale and this one managed to even top that one for me. I've made it obvious in the past that I love this finale.
In this week's episode of MLP, Hearth's Warming Eve has come once again but Starlight isn't exactly in the holiday spirit. In order to help her see the joys of the holiday, Twilight tells Starlight the story of a mare named Snowfall Frost who tried to end Hearth's Warming...

In this week's MLP Season 5 finale, Starlight Glimmer returns and travels back in time to stop the sonic rainboom that gave the Mane 6 their cutie marks. Now, Twilight and Spike must try their best to stop Starlight and save the Equestria they know and love from being erased from existence...
Before I begin this review, I would like to thank our golly folks in England for premiering the season finale for us, for your tea & crumpets, and for your Downton Abbey;)
Isn't it great when an episode you were looking forward to manages to meet and even exceed your expectations? In case it wasn't obvious enough, I really liked this episode.
"A Series of Great Ideas (Or Not)" has quite the cast of characters, between the two leads, Shining Armor and Flam, and the supporting cast, which includes Starlight Glimmer, Rarity, among others. Here's a breakdown of the main cast, a.k.a. The Unicorn Squad.
The final chapter of A Series of Great Ideas is out!
Writing this story has been such a pleasure, and I am so thankful for the positive reception and love the story has received. It has been amazing getting to write something so outside of my normal writing comfort-zone, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
Writing "Great Ideas" has been quite the interesting experience.
As a writer, you typically plan out an entire story from beginning to end. Sometimes, you don't fully have the middle, but at the very least, you have a clear starting point and ending point.
This story is crazy.
Shining Armor and Flam wake up in bed together, having kidnapped Apple Bloom without any memory of doing such, and go on a quest to restore their memories and set things right.
Along the way, they make some friends, some enemies, and learn a thing or two about themselves and each other. All while going on an over-the-top, absolutely crazy adventure of deception, love, and trying their best (though that often fails).
*SPOILER ALERT*
Chapters 15 and 16, titled "A Night in Shining Amour - Parts I and II," are probably, along with Chapter 9, my favorite chapters of the story.
