So, its begun, a new season, so lets review, starting with a rating...
ΩΩΩ out of 6
Yah, that's a rather low rating, and its not that its a bad episode, but its just an episode. Really, just look back at the season openers we've had, from starting the show to last season, and they were all (mostly?) true two parters, and powerful episodes.
This was a rather adorable episode, yet relatable at the same time. At first it seemed as though Rarity was really out of touch with her younger sister (like with Pinkie Pie, but reverse the ages), but this wasn’t the case exactly. The reason had more to do with nostalgia and wanting to do the things that Sweetie Belle used to like in the past. However, she did not realize that Sweetie Belle’s interests have changed over the course of time.
Everyone Needs Oz Now and Again Oh, no-one thinks you lax If you sit around all day reading Facts. But you should see what kind of friction Comes from reading fiction! They sputter and they snort, “I thought you a reasonable sort!” They snort and they sputter, “That rot’s stuff I won’t even utter!” You patiently turn the pages of our brand new sci-fi novel, But does that stop them? Of course not. They continue that old squabble. “You’re a grown person now, you can’t deny,
Scootaloo: Ya know, some ponies would dream of having parents like that. Rainbow Dash: Yeah, right! Name one! Scootaloo: [sighs] Me. Growing up, I never thought I'd be the best at anything, because nopony ever told me. But your parents told you over and over again.
And the award for the most depressing character in MLP is: Scootaloo!!!

When Rarity surprises Sweetie Belle with a special day together filled with all of her favorite activities, she quickly learns that her little sister is no longer the little foal she used to be.

Oh, the possibilities... I'm trying to decide which would be better to work on next: Friendship is Forever or SciTwi Shimmer-Book 7? Or maybe something new? I just can't decide.
I have to be honest guys, this is one of the hardest episodes to give my general thoughts on. Especially since the latter parts of the story had me questioning who was truly in the wrong here: Prince Rutherford for not allowing help from outsiders out of pride and letting his people suffer in the process, or Pinkie Pie for wanting to intervene and suggest help to a culture that is hardy and has survived for ages (presumably), only to then get help anyway without permission and take care of the

Fluttershy is determined to make her career dreams come true with the help of some very special ponies. But when her true vision is not being executed properly, she must find a way to stand up and fight for her ideas.
When I first heard that the newest generation of My Little Pony was gathering an adult fan base, I presumed that it would be because the show had some kind of edgy self awareness to it - that it would deliver the sort of sardonic humor that pushed the boundaries of children's television back in the 90's and early 00's.
I gave pony a shot thinking I might end up liking it somewhat ironically.
Well, it's been Season seasons and we've only heard his name mentioned before, and the staff is really pulling at strings, but man, am I excited for Starswirl the bearded to come into the show.
Also the shadow pony is the villain for this and there is a limbo world where the other pillars of Equestria will be restored. I will provide a video link for more.
I'm just gonna get this out of the way... this is not an easy episode to review. Once again, this is yet another episode that is hard to review because of how it's written.
This episode is quite amazing, insightful actually. Whether or not fans agree with what the episode has to say, remains to be seen, but if they were to act in the same way the fans of the journal did here... then there may be more truth to the episode's portrayal of fandoms in general than we realize.
