Hey, should this thread be stickied? It's such a popular topic and it's always getting bumped.

It might even make the thread 20% cooler ;)
 
Okay, so I'll pour out my thoughts now.

...what the hell was that? What the hell did I just watch?

So the first ten seconds gave me a terrible feeling as I see that they decided to make the episode look all fancy and then the music starts. So yeah, musical. Just wonderful. Honestly, there were so many songs that all sounded the same that I couldn't tell the difference between all of them.

There's little dialogue in this episode. So much lost. A big part was that they made it a one-parter - HUGE MISTAKE. But even so, I feel the episode could have done the pacing a bit better if they didn't focus on having so many songs.

Pretty much everything was terrible about the pacing. The whole conflict was resolved in about five minutes, and then the rest of the episode was "ZOMG TWILITE UR A PRINCESS". When Twilight told Spike - who was kinda shunned in this episode, did he even find out about Princess Sparkle? - that she couldn't just use a memory spell like they did in defeating Discord, I thought there'd be this whole big chase to find out how to fix her friends. But nope, the process was nearly exactly the same. In fact, all she had to do really was shove a necklace onto them, with a little help.

The whole Twilight princess thing felt really out of place - her whole test was completing a spell that a former student couldn't? What was the point of that spell anyway? And shouldn't Twilight be a bit nervous about becoming a princess? Instead she just rolled with it. So did her friends. They're just like "lol cool you're a princess" and went on. And now Twilight is going to be worshipped, really... and it feels so unequal, that Twilight is a princess and the other Mane 6 are just there.

I'm sorry, this whole entire episode... it was just bad.
 
As soon as they were about a little over halfway through the episode, I felt like the episode was already ending. I even felt like it was as though the episode started halfway through from the beginning and was supposed to end when all the destinies were restored.

I thought it was great how they ended up the seasons, and probably the best season ending, but yet, not at the same time. I felt like the Destiny part of the episode could have been the season finale, but then Twilight being crowned as a princess either as a second episode for the season finale, or the movie itself. It felt as though they were ending the show in all, and was rather awkward into making me feel like this was going to be the end forever.

Now, I think this was an amazing episode because it really was just...wow. But...it was way to summarized and condensed, and they could have easily expanded this into a movie-long theme, and by movie I mean like a good movie, not one of those hour to hour and a half long movies. There was so much potential with this episode, and though they got through it, I felt like it would have been more effective had they just extended it a bit.

P.S. - This Day Aria is still the best song.

Yeah but I always feel that in cases like this "This should of been extended" is a good thing. I think it was well paced despite being full of things to show. The music helped alot with that.

And in some ways this being the 65th episode. it's possible that this episode was indeed set up to be kinda like a Series Finale. Though of course if it had ended there there'd be alot of things left unanswered that'd still leave us wanting more. What does AliTwi mean for her relationship with her friends? What will the CMC's Cutie Marks end up being? Will Rainbow Dash become a Wonderbolt? etc. So it's a good thing we have another Season to possibly get some more things solved.

Anyway, now it's time for the long inbetween Season break. I'll be awaiting Season 4 very much so. Though I do have things to do in the meantime. Things to wait for that are non-pony related. And things to work on that are Pony related.

Also, Twilight Sparkle is best princess. ;)
 
Ok so I just watched the new episode and..

To me the plot felt like it was solely centered around Twilight becoming an alicorn,I mean really there wasn't much conflict in it at all, it was just "We ran into a slight problem wich you spent 5 minutes fixing and now you're an alicorn Twilight,let's celebrate." No depth at all, in fact the episode might as well have been over halfway through it,and that bothered me considering this was a finale.

The songs were pretty good though,not the best but decent nonetheless.The humor was ok when it happened,even if there wasn't much(not that it really matters anyway).

Overall I thought it was ok but it could have been a whole lot better if it was expanded. btw miss america what the fuck

And time until the new season will give me plenty of time to finish watching seasons 2 and 1.
