Rarity's dream of owning a boutique in Canterlot finally comes true, but it comes at a price Rarity may not be willing to pay.

It's been a little while huh.

YAAAAY! I Just woke up to find all these Synopsis's, they came outta nowhere! Let's see what these episodes are all about, shall we?

Knighty forgot to make a post before the airing, so I'm just filling in until he makes the official post. Will update with a link when it's available.

Feel free to discuss all the same.

UPDATE: Clickity.

Good night, and good luck.

Well, I can confidently say that was one of the best episodes of the season thus far. Especially the last five minutes. Fantastic!

Anyone else catch a whiff of that MoonSparkle shipping fuel? And that VERY clever Starlight Glimmer cameo?

Oh yeah, and Happy Treason Day to all you ungrateful colonials.

...wat

This was pretty good fun. Yes, there was a whole heap of fanservice in those dreams -- and a Luna episode is basically fanservice already -- but unlike "Slice of Life", there was an actual story in there as well -- and one which included a genuine, and apparently major, threat to Equestria as a whole. A reminder, if any were needed, that this is not a safe land. The ep'll stomp all over quite a few headcanons, but there's nothing wrong with that. I do wonder about that final

...is that, if this Hasbro update is actually correct, there's going to be a mid-season hiatus.

It was too good to be true.

Edit: Yeah, I know there's a lot more to life than this show. But this isn't a general-interest blog!

So today, Hasbro corrected their tweet from SDCC.

Season 6 isn't coming later this year, the second half of Season 5 is.

They apologized, saying they got "nervouscited".

Really, Hasbro? Fresh from a 3-week hiatus, you got "nervouscited" over announcing additional hiatuses?

If there's one thing that's killing fandom activity, it's these damn gaps in content. Get your fucking shit together.

Warning Season 5 finale spoiler. Not really, but it does have to do with the finale.

Sorry, I had to. I'm eating a muffin for breakfast.

My favorite season is Season 4, followed by 2 and then 5. Season 5 had a lot of hits and a lot of misses. However, I realized something - even when S5 missed, it was taking bigger shots than any previous season. And for this, it's perhaps the most important season of all so far.

Well, I had to miss the premiere of Season 5 because of my job. But, how was it?

And no, I don't mind spoilers.

Meh. Really felt like a filler, this one, and I can't help noticing that its writer was Neal Dusedau, whose previous work was on the teleplay for "Princess Spike". It probably doesn't help that Bob Ross isn't a big pop-culture phenomenon in the UK. (I don't think we even got his show on British TV back in the day.) I felt sorry for Twilight, especially as I've been in her position here, and it's not at all enjoyable. I actually felt her friends (and Discord) were being

Time is short (because of UK PonyCon looming), so this will be a short one, and I'll leave the spoilery waffle for Louder Yay in a day or two's time. This was a pretty weird episode, but in the end it was well worth it. It was great to see an Apple Family ep that (mostly) didn't involve Applejack; not that I have anything against AJ, but she's not everything. Big Mac got to talk a whole lot (in a way...) and we got a really interesting look at his character for the first time. There was

Right in the feelz. That's the phrase I'd use to describe this one ^^

I really dig MA Larson's writing. Most of the episodes he's written for MLP have been enjoyable (say what you will about Slice of Life, I like it, same goes for Ponyville Confidential ^^). I don't get why he sometimes gets a bad wrap, unless the critics are being facetious. Anywho...

A "Christmas" episode in October? Okay then. It was a rather strange episode, and occasionally a bit disjointed, but reasonably heart(hs)warming. Actually, it had similarities to "Hearth's Warming Eve" itself from back in S2. A few interesting bits of worldbuilding and new characters, but not an episode you need to concentrate too intensely on. It might turn out to be ideal for Boxing Day, actually. ★★★

A few more thoughts, with spoilers, past the break.

Princess Twilight and Fluttershy are called by the map to settle a dispute between two feuding families who can't even remember why they are fighting.

This is what I get for having a messed up sleep cycle....apologies! I thought I was getting better at this :(

Not bad, and made a solid farewell episode for AKR. One of the songs (the penultimate one that was previewed months back) was outstanding, the others were okay. Wasn't nearly as much of a fan of the modern-style one as many people seem to be. Having "Rara" not referring to Rarity is going to confuse me now every time I read a certain type of fanfic. Story felt like it was trying to fit too much into 22 minutes minus whatever the songs took up. Svengallop was one of the dullest "villains"

A Fluttershy episode that, for the most part, didn't do anything new. In fact, it was heading straight for a two-star rating until near the end, despite Applejack and Big Mac. (I was not a fan of Granny Smith in this: never mind Angel, she was worse.) The final few minutes were very nice, with a moral that I approve of. And of course it's a Fluttershy episode, and she gets extra points just for being Fluttershy. So it should have been an easy three. However, the really scared one now is
