Time to wrap up the season (for me, anyway)

Well, looks like I was wrong about two things. Maud DID move to Ponyville, and we had a veteran writer pen this episode, Nick Confalone who has written episodes such as "Party Pooped", "Hearth Breakers", and "The Saddle Row Review". You may want to remember those first two episodes though, because they're going to play an important part in addressing a complaint later on. For now though, this episode may have defied my predictions, but did that mean it was necessarily for

They know what they're doing.

Anyway I'm trying to bust out a story for Monday, before the internet forgets about this one. Not Piecest, though. I don't ship it. StarMaud? MaudGlim? IDK. We'll see if it works.

Fuck Canada.

Specifically, fuck their Treehouse channel, deciding it would be a good idea to double-air new episodes for two months until they hit the halfway point. Fandom moves at the speed of internet; avoiding spoilers is one thing, but avoiding entire episodes? Goddamn impossible. So now, instead of having an entire week to soak in an episode, I have to jam two into one and hurry my ass through the season, because they decided it was a good idea for some reason.

Remember Season 1 when Pinkie and Rainbow bond over their love of pranks? Well 5 seasons later, so did our new writer.

The greatest sin of Every Little Thing She Does is that it's forgettable. I'm talking Inspiration Manifestation forgettable, and really, it shouldn't be. An episode about Starlight Glimmer using mind control magic on her friends should not rate an "eh", but I just can't bring myself to care about what happens. It's no What About Discord, but at the same time shows me that, if I hadn't identified so much with Twilight back in season two, I might not have given a damn

Fluttershy DOES have a family!

I still say that "Applejack's" Day "Off" is at least more entertaining than Saddle Row Review. I like that Aloe (or is that Lotus? I literally have no idea) has a big role, I like the way theme of needing outside eyes to spot the holes in one's activities and how that doesn't prevent you from succumbing to it yourself. (It's probably almost entirely due to this episode being nothing but Rarijack ship fuel.) But it's still at best a mid-tier episode, and there are just so many ways

So, leading into our mid season hiatus, we have our second RariPie episode of the season and the show. Hey, I'm all for more unique pairings, it's great that the show is doing this. Mike Vogel, who wrote "A Hearth's Warming Tail" returned to write this episode, stepping into new territory since here he has to tell an actual story ("A Hearth's Warming Tail" was great, but the actual story for the episode was very bare bones. The story within the story more than made up for it,

So nice of them to give a background pony a starring episode.

So in my last blog, I said I'd voice what I thought of today's episode. Well, a promise is a promise, so buckle in.

With Season 6 due to air in the spring of 2016, I think it's time I looked back on how I ranked the episodes of Seasons 1-4. My thoughts on some of the episodes have changed over time. Here's the original version, from back in 2013. Let's see what changed.

26. Over A Barrel
25. Feeling Pinkie Keen
24. Green Isn't Your Color

This is the last season of episode rankings that are going to be updated. Perhaps, by the end of Season 6, my thoughts on some Season 5 episodes will change, or perhaps they won't. In either case, here is the original version. Let's see what changed.

26. Bats!
25. Rainbow Falls
24. Three's A Crowd

I have been noticing that I've been missing a lot of MLP season 6 episodes, and the spoliers on social media are everywhere. But when I check the schedule on my TV, I find out that it hasn't even been on yet, and all the episodes always come out late, so I have to watch all the MLP episodes on the internet. I don't even know when an episode comes out, and it's driving me nuts! .

This had become a problem lately for all the TV shows that come on.

With "Newbie Dash" coming out yesterday, I thought it'd be as good a time as any to share my view on how the episodes stack up so far.

1. "On Your Marks" - In my time in this fandom, I've learned that I'm a sucker for CMC episodes, and this one did not disappoint.

2. "Newbie Dash" - I think all the characters were very well-written in this episode (especially Rainbow and Pinkie), and it only just missed the top spot

You know the drill, time for the Season 4 episodes. Here's the previous version, so you can see just what's changed. Remember that this list is not official by any means.

26. Bats!
25. Rainbow Falls
24. Three's A Crowd
23. Filli Vanilli
22. Somepony to Watch Over Me

If you don't want to read lots of whingeing, skip this one. :V

It's finale time, finally! This season has been the leakiest of all the seasons, whether it was the leaked animations of several first half episodes, the foreign dumps from France and Sewden, or even the early broadcasts in Australia and Canada, almost nothing about this season stayed secret. And that included behind the scenes revelations about the nature of the season, namely that Hasbro mandated the school and the writers weren't too thrilled by it. Season 8 has been a very rocky season with

Alright, let's try this again. It's time to look at all 195 episodes of the show now that Season 8 has come and gone, and see just where they fall. Even just a one sentence explanation for every episode would take way too long and leave us here forever and ever, if so you're curious as to why a certain episode ends up where it does, just ask. As always, this list is purely the result of my personal opinion so feel free to disagree (and chances are you will).
