Well, Season 5 is winding down, and with the penultimate episode of the season, we have Amy Keating Rogers' swan song. This season, she has given us "The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone" our first PinkieDash episode since Season 1, which also redeemed Gilda, "Canterlot Boutique" which furthered Rarity's character arc and introduced us to Sassy Saddles, and the mind blowing musical that was "Crusaders of The Lost Mark" which redeemed Diamond Tiara and gave the CMC their cutie

Another season has come and gone, and since we already saw how the episodes stack up, let's take a look and see how the songs faired. Season 5 offered some pretty good ones, including quite a few from two musical episodes. But we had some pretty long droughts between songs, as was evidenced by the gap between "Tanks For The Memories" and "Canterlot Boutique".

Well, that happened.

I don't know if there are any words that can describe just how mind blowing and amazing this episode is! If you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out!

So, we've got our third and final Rarity episode for the month, and this time she's getting paired up with Applejack once again. With Noelle Benventui, the writer of "Maud Pie" in the driver's seat, did Rarity manage to pull out another smash hit like "Rarity Investigates" or a more meh episode like "Canterlot Boutique"?

Well, let's find out.

Last week was an unexpected mind blower, and my new all time favorite episode, so this episode had a tough act to follow. It was penned by G. M. Berrow, and at first glance you'd probably think she was a relatively new writer plucked from the depths of obscurity. But if you thought that, you thought

...and was wondering how you guys would feel about it. I'd appreciate you taking the time to vote on this Straw Poll I set up.

It's time for another Rarity episode, this time a RariDash episode. One that we haven't had at all (the closest thing we got to it, was "Sonic Rainboom" back in Season 1). And it's a real mystery to boot.

Season 6's big theme at least in terms of marketing appears to be "Explore Equestria" and usually it's the third episode of each season that establishes the underlying narrative accompanying various episodes of the season (though sometimes that isn't the case). For this episode, we have our first RariPie episode of the entire show, along with the return of Maud and Manehattan. So, with an episode titled after the old story "Gift of The Magi", did all of these ingreidents blend

As of "Bloom and Gloom" Babs Seed sadly no longer counts as a cutie mark crusader, and it seems unlikely that she will return to the group anytime soon.

So, with a new character likely joining the mane six for Season 6, perhaps the same could be done for the CMC? This list will take a look at a few candidates that could do the job.

With the likelyhood that the fourth Equestria Girls film will come before Season 6, now would be a good time to look at a few things the franchise could do to be even better. "Rainbow Rocks" managed to improve over its predecessor in some ways, and "Friendship Games" managed to convince me the series could stand on its own. But all three movies still had some problems that should be considered when making the next one.

Hello Everyone!

As this blog post title may suggest, I'm writing this blog to get a general idea on what you think of "Playing The Villain" so far and what you may or may not want to see from it. In order to kind of get a general idea on what I would like to know, I'm going to make six questions that I would like each of you to answer. My hope is that with your views on the story, I can further improve it!

By now the drill should be obvious, though this one probably won't see as significant of changes compared to the others. Here's the previous version, remember that this list is the result of my personal opinion, so feel free to disagree.

Nope. I'm not gonna number any blogs other than my fact blog. It gets too confusing too quickly.

I sure hope that Trump doesn't wreck the housing industry even more. My mom's a real-estate agent and so far, ever since Trump was elected, her housing deals have gone down the drain. Almost all her clients are immigrants from asian countries, and they're afraid that Trump might try to deport them next.

So we've finally got a Flurry Heart episode, and one that apparently many people were really looking forward (I wasn't one of them). Personally, I don't mind Flurry Heart, but there's really no reason at all why she couldn't just be a powerful unicorn. And I've already expressed my opinion that there's not much the show could do with her that couldn't be done with the Cake Twins. The writers for this episode are the first of the new writers for this season, and as it turns out

So, we've got a Pinkie Pie episode? Well, her character's been pretty spot on so far this season, can it keep going or is it about to go up in flames?

Now I have the free time to do a full review of the special. According to a comment on my quick review, Nick Confalone wrote this special though I cannot confirm that at the time. Nick was, I believe, responsible for "Forgotten Friendship" which did better than I think everyone expected. After the subpar shorts series I don't think anyone really expected much out of "Forgotten Friendship" and the shorts since then have gone back to being mediocre, restrained by their time limit (two minutes is

Just when you thought the leaks and early airings were done, they're back with a vengence. It turns out that "Yakity Sax" did not air out of order, it was just a special preview for whatever reason (why it instead of "A Matter of Principals" is anyone's guess, they could've then kicked off the second half proper with this and "Friendship University" to take the edge off of Australia's early airings). But now episodes are airing early again in Australia, just like "Discordant Harmony" and "The

With Australia now airing the finale the early releases are finally starting to come to an end. And meanwhile the show is going through a really weird phase on Netflix where they keep bumping back the expiration date (though as of now only Seasons 1-4 are still available, Seasons 5 onwards have been removed, and it's only for the U.S. not overseas). Anyway, I'm still tagging this with spoilers for those who were waiting for the official U.S. airings for whatever reason. Nick Confalone penned

So at long last we have an episode actually focused on the student six without any of the mane six also being involved, and it's only a few episodes away from the finale. Well, I guess better late than never. Michael Vogel came back to write this episode, but considering his last writing endevor was the disappointing mid-season finale "The Mean Six" which squandered the concept of Chrysalis' revenge with the cliche "Evil Clone is mistaken for the real thing" trope that we've seen done to death
