It was alright. How do I feel about the baby being an alicorn? Neutral. Personally, I don't mind overpowered characters, unless they're poorly written. I liked that she was the unwitting villain here.
It was odd to see Celestia and Luna defeated by bad weather. I know it wan't just the weather, but really. I'd expect more from creatures, who can move the Sun and Moon.
I liked Sunburst. Though it seemed a bit stupid that Starlight didn't guess what was going on. I like it when characters catch on to things as quickly as the average viewer. They just come across as dim otherwise.

| "Now, kiss," thought most of the fandom. |
The Gift of the Maud Pie
The story was very primitive. Personally, I hate the "Gift of the Magi" trope. Saw it coming from miles away, even though I haven't noticed it's in the title.
But such episodes are all about the journey rather than the destination. And the journey was quite fun, so it's a good filler.
 |
| What? It's an excellent place for Rarity's boutique. |
On Your Marks
Not a fan. The CMC got their marks in an earlier episode and sang a song that said they knew exactly what to do with their lives. The start of this episode felt like a major step back from that. Apple Bloom especially. She knew the little colt needed help from CMC, wanted help even, but she just totally ignored him.
The episode had a handful of good jokes, but I found it weak overall.
 |
| I still wish they went with the name Snowflake for this guy. |
Gauntlet of Fire
Beyond predictable, but watchable.
 |
| Hug every dragon you meet, but don't tell them why. That was my favourite part. |
No Second Prances
I thought it was good. Twilight was crazy, Starlight - relatable, Trixie was... well... Trixie. And Celestia clearly had the time of her life at that dinner party.
Also, I liked how Starlight spoke of stage magic as something separate from regular magic.. So I guess it's an art form and Trixie is better at it than Twilight.
 |
| Go home, Twilight, you're... erm... Just go home. |
Newbie Dash
Not a fan. I get the idea of team spirit and pushing yourself to your limits, especially after you've proven yourself. But... taking crap from others for tradition's sake... Really?
But I did like that Dash is apparently cured of her random inability to retain information. I liked her being a nerdy fangirl, geeking out over every inch of the compound. I thought that was spot-on.
 |
| Also, the impressions were a weird move. Not buying it. |
A Hearth's Warming Tail
It's a very good Christmas Special. Very cozy, the music's just right and the costumes are pretty neat.
 |
| The coolest part by far. |
The Saddle Row Review
I liked it. The format is definitely interesting. It was nice to hear the ponies as they were individually interviewed. Wasn't flawless - I guess trying to make a lesson out of it is the reason. But it's still enjoyable.
 |
| That diner looks like a nice place. |
Applejack's "Day" Off
Not a fan. I can understand that inefficient ways of doing things can become a habit, but AJ was full-on stupid back there. Also, Rarity's way of mending fences seems wasteful.
 |
| That colt look fabulous enough to be a Sailor Moon villain. |
Flutter Brutter
It's a good episode. Meeting pony families is always interesting and Fluttershy's brother sure is something.
 |
| Oh, the agony... |
Spice Up Your Life
I liked it. So many cool visuals in one episode - neat new characters and cool new restaurant. And also Pinkie's table manners - I like how she headbutts plates.
 |
| Can't help but wonder if Pinkie knows about the possible future consequences of eating really spicy food... |
