is 19's title a reference to friends?

Possibly? It could be since I guess most episodes of that show start with "The one where"
 
I just watched Rarity Investigates. I liked it a lot more than Canterlot Boutique, mainly because the story was much more interesting. And yay, my wish of M. A. Larson and Meghan McCarthy writing an episode together was granted! Oh, and the writers of Castle Sweet Castle returned. I don't really have an opinion on that.

So now that there are 15 episodes of Season 5 out, how would you rank them?
 
Ahhhhhh Friendship Games was actually really good. For me it's definitely the best out of the 3 EQG films. I'll give my score out of 10 for each of the films just to recap.

The first one has always been a 5 out of 10 for me. It wasn't too great, but I don't hate it enough to say it's the most terrible thing ever.

Rainbow Rocks is a 7 out of 10. It showed much improvement over the first and overall had more good then bad. And probably had the best soundtrack out of the three movies.

Friendship Games however maybe a solid 8 or even 9 out of 10. It escapes many of the problems of the previous movies and actually takes place on it's own grounds rather then depending on something or someone coming over from Equestria in order to get a plot going. Human Twilight was also a very great part of the movie. And the climax didn't feel as rushed as the first as it was pretty much built up through both the magic being captured as well as the general feeling of Human Twilight's peer pressure from her school.

Oh and bonus points for Flash Sentry having an even smaller role then he did in the last movie. Which is hilarious because it was already diminishing in the 2nd compared to in the first movie.
 
My bro was watching the movie while I was reading the newspaper yesterday, so I saw it too.

I was sad that they had all OCs at the other school besides Twilight, Spike (still wish he was her little brother, not her dog), Cadence and Shining Armor - I'd hoped for a chance to see Sombre again, as the principle, given the crystal connection, but alas, all we really got was a shoutout in the form of Evil Twilight's flaming glasses (and at the same time, the horn seemed a bit like a reference to Queen Chrysalis and the wings were like Nightmare Moon, which was cool). The plot was pretty solid, the "take that"s of Flash Sentry's repeated failure to get Twilight engaged in shipping at all were awesome (good to know they learned from their mistakes), and I must say, I loved the other Twilight's design: the fact that the Mane 6 all dress so similar to each other always bugged me, so Twilight's uniform was a breath of fresh air - and it, the bun and the glasses really suit her.

Although, if I suddenly was granted amazing powers of evil, wings, eye flames and a badass unicorn horn, I'd keep 'em. Screw friendship, I wanna blow stuff up.
 
I just saw Equestria Girls: Friendship Games. It. Was. Awesome. If the movies count as episodes, this is my new favorite episode of the show besides Twilight's Kingdom. Literally, my only problems were Twilight's completely out-of-character power hunger at the end, and just a minor problem, but Principal Cinch not getting sacked from her position at the end. I used to think Josh Haber was just an OK writer but... wow.
 
Well, keep in mind it's a different Twilight, who's been bullied and made to feel like a powerless doormat by almost everyone around her for years, with even her principle threatening to crush her educational dreams. Even pre-series pony Twilight had it better despite being a loner too, with a mentor who nurtured and supported her, and peers who didn't go out of their way to be assholes to her. For pony Twilight, it'd be OOC fo' sho', but for human Twilight, it makes sense that suddenly having power (instead of nothing) would go to her head - but even then, it didn't take long for sense to be talked back into her anyway.

On the power hunger when I post my full thoughts on the movie tomorrow. I have a bit of a headcanon that explains all that. In short though, I think it's something to do with the way the magic manipulated her mind when she transformed. As well as outside influences that built up to it. But I'll fully explain what I mean tomorrow.

Though Walkazo also explained it just now too.
