I'm guessing most of us saw this already :p

Season 5 left me on an uneasy note for shaking up the status quo this way. Season 6 then turned a lot of folks sour at the idea of another new alicorn. So how did it go?

Well, that was pretty dull for the most part. Not actively terrible, but really pretty unexciting; it felt like one of the less involving Season One slice-of-life episodes. Applejack was weirdly portrayed, Spike didn't do anything of note and there's what seems to be a glaring continuity error. Forgettable filler. ★★

I enjoyed this season overall. It may not have been as cohesive as precious seasons, but there were interesting back stories and one shots that kept my interest. Granted, I haven’t felt the need to watch every episode IMMEDIATELY after it came out, but since many of the Fandom haven’t been posting about them on Tumblr as frequently as they have in the past, I haven’t had to worry about spoilers much.

I'm attacking the DARKNESS.

As a real-life racing fan, I was hoping to have a lot of fun with this episode. Sadly, I didn't. I didn't hate it, and there were some nice touches, but too many things rubbed me up the wrong way. It didn't really seem to end properly, either. I enjoyed Ed Valentine's own "Flight to the Finish" way more than this. ★★

A little more, with spoilers, past the break.

Yes, please.

Changelings dindu nuffin'. They a good boy. They just needed love for dem programs.

Best Wonderbolts episode ever. Twilight and Dash made a highly watchable team, the guest characters were effective and the pacing was good. For those who saw the UK version, one line was dropped over here, though not an important one: it's a second mention of cider with AJ near the end. That doesn't affect the rating, though. This was the effective season finale for us in the UK, and I'm very satisfied with it. ★★★★

I really enjoyed that one! I wasn't particularly looking forward to it when I read the synopsis, but it turned out to be a really enjoyable episode. Nick Confalone did a good job here. ★★★★

A little spoilery stuff after the break.

First off let me get this out before i say anything else:
MAGIC DUEL ENDED ON GOOD TERMS SO BRING TRIXE FEEL REALLT SHOEHORN IN Dx.
Anyways:
I think Celestia has a tiny wind machine hidden in her crown and necklace that blows her hair wherever she goes. ;) So Cranky is more deep than we thought xD

From the horse's mouth on Twitter: "Amending Fences was my last involvement with the show" -- M. A. Larson. I'm not sure whether either Dave Polsky or Cindy Morrow are writing S6 episodes, but if not then there'll be nobody left at all from the S1 days. Well, assuming Meghan McCarthy doesn't make an unexpected ep-writing return, I suppose. Is this a sign that we won't be getting any more FiM? I don't have a clue. But we

Just found out mlp season 6 is coming THIS MAY!!! I am hyped!

I'm sorely tempted to give this a five just for making Ogres and Oubliettes canon in the show, but I shall resist. Anyway: a fun, lightweight episode. It's another of those where I wonder just how Pony it is, and I also wonder whether it'll be one that has a great deal of replay value. Still, it's amusing while it lasts -- and, away from the main plot, has some pretty good Fluttershy in the opening scene. Not Nick Confalone's best episode, not even his best this season (that's

I just finished watching the first two episodes of Season 6, The Crystalling. I'm super excited for the new season, especially since we'll be seeing more of Starlight Glimmer. I'm going to avoid spoilers since I'm writing this the day the episodes aired, except for this one little spoiler riiiiiight... Here!

The second half of Season Six seems to be doing pretty well, and this episode is no exception. It's about time Fluttershy and Applejack had a team-up (well, there's "Bats!", but they're at each other's throats for most of that) and it's done nicely. 'Shy in particular was great this time around; these writers seem like keepers. The layered nature of the reveal was interesting, though inevitably a little hurried in a programme this length. I liked the fact that Flim and Flam weren't... well,

Horrible title pun aside, I enjoyed this one, despite one character being unbearable almost throughout. The main reason I liked it was that they did something both interesting and believable with Fluttershy -- something they couldn't possibly have done in the early days. I'm currently thinking it's a high three rather than a low four, though there's not much in it. ★★★

More, with spoilers, past the break.

Twilight Sparkle will have been an alicorn for more episodes than she hasn't been one.

Another three-star episode, though in this case it starts rather poorly and gets better. More past the break. ★★★
