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!

It's an episode that sounds an awful lot like my time in Dark Souls this week.

Wow. My hopes for Season 6 are up again. That episode was awesome. Love the message. Love the worldbuilding. Just loved the episode. Also, this is Dragon Quest done ... I don't wanna say right, but ... better.

The only downside is that one character almost does a 180 near the end.

Btw, forget Snips and Snails. This guy just took the cake for my most hated character. God, I loved to see him get hurt.

It's horse time

Very quick, non-spoilery review: I really liked it. Okay, not the most original idea for an episode, but done very nicely and with much better pacing than some eps I could name. A couple of relatively minor faults, but it was good enough to overcome the weirdness of being shown in May. This might be my favourite ep of the season, and it's close enough to a five that it stands a chance (a small one, admittedly) of being upgraded on re-watching. Edit: it was indeed upgraded! This is a

Unlike the extremely long gap between season 4 and season 5, it looks like we are going to have another normal 4-5 month hiatus for any show. It just happened that I was looking at twitter when I got the good news that we had our first spoilers of season 6. I immediately dashed over to Equestria Daily where I saw that the site was buzzing with new information. Not only were there clips of Twilight's new niece with the name "Flurry" but that season 6 will be out in the spring as well.

Other than the sad lack of a Looney Tunes joke to go with the title, I don't have many complaints about this one. This is the sort of old-season stuff I really like, and for the most part I thought it worked very well. Fluttershy was great, Pinkie was great... and Snails(!) was great too. Rainbow and Applejack were a tad more uneven, but mostly they got away with it. Another filler episode, I suppose, but in my view a very good filler episode. I'll definitely be rewatching this one.

Season 2 finale

'Changelings aren't evil!'

'They were just looking for food...'

'What if they're not really so bad?'

'They can't all be bad, right?'

'Changelings are good guys! Really!'

'Would it Matter if I Was?'

Season 6 finale, changelings literally get redeemed

'Boo!'

'Oh of course, redemption. So dumb!'

'What the fuck are these designs...'

'The writing's so bad!'

'It's so dumb!'

MAKE UP YOUR MINDS.

Yes, I've seen the finale. Of course I have! Review coming after the US airing, however. As for episode 23, which was dropped from Tiny Pop because of cider referenes, I really enjoyed it. More than quite a few other people, so it seems from initial reactions. There are a few obvious plot holes, but it was another of the "could almost have been S2" episodes that this season has done quite a bit now. Three stars on first viewing, but a high three. Has potential to be a four if I really

Hmm. I appreciate the innovation, but it's not as successful in that regard as "The Saddle Row Review" was. There are some great bits, and Applejack has a fantastic episode, but they don't quite add up to a great whole. Part of this is because the resolution is colossally stupid. Unfortunately, I'll know it's coming now, and it'll irritate me every time. As a mystery, "Rarity Investigates!" blows this -- ahem -- out of the water. ★★/★★★

Great fun, at least as long as you don't hate Starlight Glimmer being central. Has some obvious plot holes (the changeling!Mane Six are really obvious, so how did they take over so easily?) but it's one of those episodes that's best watched for entertainment. Trixie and Discord are a brilliant double act. Chrysalis's appearance from behind the cocoons is tremendously creepy, too. I'm glad they didn't reform her -- I suspect she'll be back, and not alone either. Still uncertain about

I'm back from a week's holiday, so here's a very late episode review! No need to avoid spoilers after a week, so: I thought this was a solid episode, but one that could have been so much better. In particular, why wasn't the song turned into a huge, all-dancing Bollywood extravaganza? I was confidently expecting the reprise to be just that... and then it wasn't. Okay, it was Bollywood-ish, but where was the completely ridiculous sudden entrance of 200 whirling dancers,

You guys have probably seen this screencap already.

I remember of this one story about some alicorn that kind of didn't have her wings for a while.

Okay, I went into this episode with an open mind. Sure, I was a little apprehensive because of Trixie. I know she has a ton of fans, but I’m not really one of them. According to something that I read on the internet, a number of fans were worried that this episode was going to be a rehash of “What About Discord?,” which was infamous for making Twilight look like a terrible friend. I, on the other hand, thought that this episode was going to be about being careful about choosing friends
