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.

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. ★★★

Guys, I have good news, and bad news.

The good news is that a preview for season 6 has come out!

The bad news? Well... it's the worst thing to ever happen since M.A Larson made the Twilicorn a proven fact... no, even worse then that. It's worse than anything else. Princess Cadence and Shining Armor have had their baby...

This is based on a single watch-through, but I liked today's episode a good deal. It was more successful than several Season Six episodes in blending a traditional FiM feel with modern canon. Actually, the extensions to canon were great; sure, they explode lots of headcanon, but there's nothing wrong with that; it seems to be S6's main aim anyway. Spike's song(!) was nearly fantastic; there were some rough edges in the lyrics (not unusual for this show) but I loved the style,

SInce I was waiting for season 5 and 6 of My Little Pony to finish so that I could binge watch it. I then went on to the 8 episode of the 6 season. Turns out it was a Christmas Episode Parodying/Spoofing A christmas Carol by Charlie Dickens. Since I didn't want to be spoiled, and I didn't watch the movie yet, I stopped watching the episode to watch the movie.

And Watch I did.

Here's the thing, It's the middle of May.

Does anyone think that the new season of mlp should do an episode that is a tribute to David Bowie?

I just saw the season 6 teaser. In my last blog I said Flurry Heart might be the new villain.
Did I just predict the bucking future?!?!

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.

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.
