Oh yeah, Wrote Dash buy accident. I can't believe i never saw newbie dash. Currently watching tho.
 
So since the first half of Season 6 is over, which episodes would you consider to be overall bad? I think that, to be very exact, 23 episodes are bad. That may sound like a lot at first, but if you think about it, I'm saying that I only dislike less than a fifth of the episodes.

Here are the episodes that I dislike/think are bad in chronological order:

The Ticket Master
Boast Busters
Look Before You Sleep
Stare Master
The Show Stoppers
A Bird in the Hoof
Owl's Well That Ends Well
The Cutie Pox
The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well
Baby Cakes
Putting Your Hoof Down
Dragon Quest
One Bad Apple
Keep Calm and Flutter On
Rainbow Falls
Filli Vanilli
Somepony to Watch Over Me
Trade Ya!
Tanks for the Memories
Appleoosa's Most Wanted
Princess Spike
Canterlot Boutique
What About Discord?
Newbie Dash
 
I'm a little more lenient when it comes to lesser episodes. Rainbow Falls is the only episode I can truly say I think is bad. All other episodes even some like Spike at your Service have something I remember that I did like about it (Ex: The Mane 6 were portrayed pretty well overall in Spike At Your Service. Just Spike himself wasn't). And for whatever flaws Mare-Do-Well had I admit I do like the short scene where Rainbow Dash feels alone. It's a somewhat poignant moment in a pretty flawed episode.
 
I'll admit I probably have higher standards when it comes to episodes, but something I will say is that out of my 23 least favorite episodes, there are only 7 that I really hate, although a few other episodes came very close (Look Before You Sleep, One Bad Apple, Princess Spike).

Well, quite frankly alot really. Put in Spoiler tags just in case, but still pretty vague on how it all happens so it doesn't completely spoil it in case you find interest in checking out those episodes. And only listing the real important stuff (Or at least episodes that were just that good to be listed anyway even if their purpose wasn't too important in the grand scheme of things)

A lost empire called the Crystal Empire returns of which Cadence and Shining Armor get to rule over.

Trixie Returned (Twice now, once in Season 3. And again in Season 6)

Rainbow Dash became a Wonderbolt in Season 6 after a good amount of episodes showed her get closer and closer (Wonderbolts Academy being the first episode to kinda start the ball rolling)

Discord is brought back and kinda/sorta reformed

Twilight became an Alicorn Princess

The Mane 6 give up the Elements of Harmony to save the Tree of Harmony

There was an episode where Weird Al Yankovic was a guest star of which his character even got his own songs and sang a duet or two with Pinkie

Twilight's house is destroyed by the villain of the Season 4 Finale, though a new Castle that becomes Twi's new home pops up within the same finale

The Mane 6 meet a unicorn that's a bit off her rocker in Starlight Glimmer who's trying some equalist society kind of thing

The show had it's 100th episode that celebrated it by focusing on fan-favorite background characters

Twilight meets with old friends she had before the series even started

The Cutie Mark Crusaders got their Cutie Marks

Shining Armor and Cadence had a baby (Which features in the Season 6 opener)

Starlight Glimmer returned for revenge, and after some wild time shenanigans, is reformed to become Twilight's pupil

There may be other things I've overlooked but this certainly should be alot especially for someone who hasn't watched since Season 2 already.
 
So MLP will be back on July 30, and the first episode to air will be called... Stranger Than Fan Fiction. Good job at making the fanservice subtle, writers.
 
Oh please, this show is 90% fanservice lol

Edit: I realized something really dark.

A while back Trixie was about to feed herself to a manticore because her only friend left her. Is it me or was that a sucidal tendancy they showed?

The writer of that episode, Nick Confalone, said that he wasn't intending for that scene to look like a suicide attempt.

Other then the title have the word fan, uh... I don't see how this is obvious fan service? The episode itself is not going to be about fanfictions after all. But anywhere here's the synopsis anyway:
