So, there are a lot of Celestia haters out there, each for their own reasons, I for one am not one of them. The problem is, well, when someone is filled with hate, or anger, or almost any emotion for that matter, their IQ tends to drop, their ears tend not to work, and they often assume that anyone arguing against them in any way is not only absolutely wrong but is in absolute opposition and making a personal attack against them. Exactly how they come to that conclusion I have no idea.

Today I started my project of rewatching ALL of MLP:FiM. Today was Episodes 1 & 2. I have not rewatched Season 1 in a while but I'm glad to restart it.

I don't have many faults with this episode but based on the later season openers and finales it's not my favorite. It gives us a good introduction to each one of the characters as well as their elements. If not predictable it was thoroughly enjoyable. From the immediate first re-viewing Rainbow Dash and Rarity stuck out to me as great.

Well, here we are. The very first episode written by arguably the most controversial member of the MLP writing staff:

Greetings and salutation, my name is Wrex and this is my review. Get ready for a second chance. Because I'm reviewing 'My Little Pony: The Days of New Equestria (Season 1)', the third story to the Reformverse storyline. Picking off where the second story left off, a displaced human-turned-Alicorn and three reform Equestria-Most-Wanteds navigate the new Equestria. If I'm being honest, everything went a lot smoother than what would be normally expected. This story proves that not everyone is

Grrrrrrrrrrrrreetings everypony, and welcome back to Deconstruction is Magic, my Retrospective/Review/Analysis of every episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is magic ever. Today, we have a strange one, showing us that only the strangest of ponies knows how to handle a Parasprite plague: it's Swarm of the Century!

So, remember when I said Amy Keating Rogers is not a perfect writer. Well, this is one of those times where her writing is not as strong as it could've been. Don't get me wrong. This is still a good episode. There are a lot of hilarious jokes, some of the commentary is actually clever, and the message, while pretty overdone, is still a timely one. With that said, the episode does suffer from a lack of subtlety, and some of the characters do have a few annoying moments here and there. It's

The episodes which introduced us to the world of My Little Pony, these probably did more than anything else to jumpstart the success of the show. But what is it, exactly, that intrigued us so?

What with the last two episodes being concerned with the very earliest pieces of FIM's lore, and this being July, roughly around the time I got into the fandom four years ago, (Sweet Celestia, it's been only four years?) I decided to show you this:

Grrrrrrrrrrrrreetings everypony, and welcome back to Deconstruction is Magic, my Retrospective/Review/Analysis of every episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is magic ever. I'm back from my break and recharged, ready to move from one of the best episodes of season 1, to one of the worst. It's time to tackle Green Isn't Your Colour!

As some of you may remember, I used to do reviews of every MLP episode, and stopped midway through Season 3. I still kind of wanna continue those in depth reviews eventually, but at this point I don't have the motivation. But since I've been rewatching the whole show, I decided I could at least muster up the energy to give my general thoughts on each season, though I'm grouping the first 3 into one 'review' since I already made full reviews of most of these episodes.

Well, even though I ranked every single episode in order from all 6 seasons, which you then should be able to understand my ranking of season 6's episodes, I still got requests to do season 6 on its own. Well, mainly from just one person, since sadly no one seems to care about my rankings or thoughts, but I'll go ahead and do it anyway. Here are my rankings of all the episodes from season 6 (in my opinion the best season of MLP thus far) from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:

Grrrrrrrrrrrrreetings everypony, and welcome back to Deconstruction is Magic, my Retrospective/Review/Analysis of every episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is magic ever.

So, with the help of a program called Preference Revealer, I have ranked all 143 episodes spanning across all six seasons of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Now let me make it clear that these are MY OPINIONS and if anyone who reads this disagrees with my choices (which is definitely likely), then good for you and I'm glad you were able to get something out of episodes I either didn't care for or hated, just like I got something out of episodes YOU didn't care for or hated. Simple.

A lot of people claim that Applejack has no character development, but this is simply not true. In fact, she has perhaps the most linear character development in the whole series. It stretches across 3 episodes which, in my mind, contitute a trilogy: Applebuck Season, The Last Roundup, and Apple Family Reunion.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrreetings everypony, and welcome back to Deconstruction is Magic, my Retrospective/Review/Analysis of every episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is magic ever.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrreetings everypony, and welcome back to Deconstruction is Magic, my Retrospective/Review/Analysis of every episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is magic ever.

A (relatively) long time ago, in the exact same house I'm in right now, I wrote the start of a really crappy MLP fanfic. It has gone unpublished for good reason, but I do remember one section that I was actually legitimately proud of; two paragraphs or so of description as the Mane Six walk back to Ponyville from Canterlot. (because this was before Season 2; and the train hadn't yet become a common thing.)
