I suppose I should explain what I mean by "potential new members" considering I already did a Top Ten for colts and fillies, and ranked the CMC including Gabby and Babs. This list is exploring ponies that haven't officially joined the CMC yet in canon, but have a strong potential to do so or could benefit from being included. I did a similar list to this a year ago involving ponies who could replace Babs Seed for the fourth member, but Babs really doesn't deserve to be

Sorry for this coming out a bit late, personal issues delayed it. Anyway, it doesn't seem like there were a whole bunch of newcomers (only three named ones to my knowledge), but at least two warranted an inclusion here. Here's the third version, from the end of Season 6. Time to see what's changed, but first some honorable mentions (they are: Ruby Pinch, Dinky Doo, Featherweight, Button Mash, Lilly Longsocks,

Here's the third version, from the end of Season 5. Let's see who stayed, who moved up, who moved down, and who left. And of course, since there's only room for ten some of the earth ponies that didn't make the cut here can be considered honorable mentions (they are as follows: Countess Coloratura a.k.a Rara, Double Diamond, Filthy Rich, Babs Seed, and Coco Pommel).

This time around there are some newcomers that are going to make the list. Season 6 may have also been sparse when it comes to new colts and fillies, but at least two made a lasting impression. Here's the second version, let's see who made the list.

First of all, for those on you wanting an update on MLAABQ, lemme just quickly tell you that chapter 15 looks like it's gonna be out next Friday (clarification: that means this Friday), with around 10k words. End of MLAABQ-news.

Hey, I thought it was good. I sometimes hear moaning that it was a lot like an normal MLP episode (complete with the Princesses being captured/defeated/etc), but honestly, I think that's what it was aiming for: the quintessential MLP episode, songs and all, but ramped up to 11.

So.

I'm a bit of a romantic. Always have been. I love that old, clichéd story of boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy and girl live happily ever after.

It's the optimistic part of me. I like when two people worm their way into each other's hearts and push past all the crap, hurt, and ugliness in the world around them to stay together and build something truly special. It's really cool watching the progression from strangers, to acquaintances, to friends, to family.

You know the drill, and this is going to be the last of the official ranking lists that I've been putting out since the show wrapped up with Season 9. I know there's still the Equestria Girls special that's been leaked, and it airs this coming Saturday in the U.S. I may review it early or I may wait until it hits U.S. airwaves since it's so close. Anyway, I covered the weakest writers in my opinion and now it's time to cover the strongest.

Season 9 gave us a few more opening sequences, but not all of them were winners. Some of them for one reason or another didn't work out and join the ranks of opening sequences from seasons prior that are also not very good. Of course the actual episodes involved could be good or bad, a bad opening doesn't necessarily mean your whole episode is going to bomb (though a poorly done opening sequence can kill a lot of hype and interest). I decided to round up to a top twenty even though there were

Well folks, it's time. With the final finale behind us it's time to see how all the season finales stack up and where the last one lands. Do note that I'm going to include "The Last Problem" alongside "The Ending of the End" since ultimately all three were bundled together and "The Ending of the End" does tie in loosely with "The Last Problem" when all is said and done. And remember that we're not only looking at how these episodes fared individually but also how they function as a send off for

Ten years ago today, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic debuted to the world! Hardly anyone thought it would be a big deal, no one imagined it would last a decade and change so much. But it did! And in keeping with the joyous celebration today, we're going to be looking at (and ranking) all the Twilight Sparkle expys. Like Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, Twilight ultimately got eight, though unlike them she had Equestria Girls counterparts/parallels to compare to. So that means Equestria

With the exception of Season 3 (which was a half season) every season has run on for 26 episodes that can be said to be divided into two halves of 13 episodes a piece. At the least since Season 5 it's become a trend to split the season into those halves, and that means the first half is a finale unto itself, a finale that has to tide fans over while the hiatus is ongoing. But we'll also be considering those midway points from seasons that didn't need to break up the run time so heavily (and

Just like it says in the title, I kinda want to focus on a single story for now, but I don't know which one. So I'm asking you guys for help here, the options are in the poll below.

One last time for this list, one last time of ranking all the writers on the show. As there's over 35 different writers now, trying to explain even briefly why each one ends up where they do would take forever. So just ask if you're curious. Here's the previous version, from the end of Season 8. Like always, I mean no disrespect to any of the DHX staff, and just like before I'm not counting

How did I not do this before? It's been almost a whole year now since the Equestria Girls franchise abruptly had the plug pulled on it and I haven't updated this list since "Spring Breakdown". Well, in the time since we got both "Sunset's Backstage Pass" and "Holiday Unwrapped" so the list definitely needs updating to include them at least. So, where did these new specials end up and how did the other movies/specials fare as a result? Well, let's find out.
