When Season 4 ended, I was saying that their increasing inability to write a solid adventure story was dragging the show down, and I'd like a greater emphasis on Slice Of Life.
Now I'd take a dozen Twilight's Kingdom-esque messes, just so long as there are actual stakes again. And please stop ramming Flurry Heart down our throats.
Season 5 was good about this, though. It wasn't until 6 that things really started to drag, and it looks like 7 is off to a bad start.
...I come home tired and plopped myself down on the living room couch. What do I spy under the TV?
I've never seen it but the internet is abuzz about it. So I pop in the first DVD and decide to watch one episode.
I've made a huge mistake.
And I have only three things to say:
1: Why have I never watched this show until now?
2: Mabel is my spirit animal... person.
3: My favourite episodes, before anyone asks, are The Deep End, Headhunters, Land Before Swine, The Inconveniencing, Fight Fighters, Summerween, Dreamscaperers and Gideon Rises.
This is quite indubitably the greatest My Little Pony fan creation of all time. A more perfect trinity of effort, quality, and shitpost cannot mathematically exist. That more know not of its existence is one of modern life's greatest tragedies. But now at least you do!
