I agree with a lot of the episodes you put in your top 10, especially Crusaders of the Lost Mark and Twilight's Kingdom.
 
The episode as a whole was kinda on the average side of things and probably one of the weaker openers. Though it certainly does have a few interesting things I'll point out when I make a more detailed thoughts after a rewatch.

But right now I'm still hyped as hell about the fact that...

TWI'S PARENTS FINALLY SPOKE.

(Now I just hope there's at least one episode where they play a bigger role this season)
 
I just saw The Crystalling, and... it was decent. Compared to Josh Haber's other two-parter, The Cutie Re-Mark, it's less flawed, but at the same time, it's not as fun or original, and I didn't care as much about what was going to happen. I'd say that besides Friendship is Magic, this is my least favorite two parter. On a more positive note, after watching this, I really want Josh Haber to write Gauntlet of Fire. He wrote Spike quite well in this episode.

It may seem a bit lame right now, but here's my ranking for Season 6.

1. The Crystalling

I've liked Eminem songs for a long time xD

Plus I'd need to be obsessed with Jackie chan, change my favorite pony from Twilight to Pinkie, make two or three shortlived comic series on Userpedia, and then nuke Userpedia to become you. (No offense meant of course, you know I still like ya)
 
Oh my, the 7th episode of Season 6 could end up being a big one.

After Rainbow Dash achieves her dream of becoming a Wonderbolt, she makes a disastrous first impression and gets saddled with a mortifying nickname.


I was actually thinking this would happen this season. Just not quite this early on. Either way it's going to be interesting for sure.
 
I think the 7th episode, if done right, could become one of the best episodes of the show. I think maybe Cindy Morrow should write, due to her more mature style of writing.

Just watched The Gift of Maud Pie.

Although this episode has a few contrived moments, it's much more entertaining than I thought it would be. The jokes are funny (I completely cracked up at Rarity's Pinkie impression), and the characters are very likable. It also has heart, which I enjoyed. I guess the reason I wasn't expecting this to be so fun was that the last Manehattan episode was really dull.

It's probably not going to look that impressive until the 6th episode, but here are my Season 6 rankings.

2. The Crystalling
