Season 5's finale left a bad taste in my mouth.

As someone involved in the brony fandom, I'm not looking forward to season 6's premise based on how the ending for S5E26 went. There were so many problems with this episode. Even before I seen it, the trailer gave me bad vibes. Time travel episodes are really hard to do, especially in two episodes. I was thinking about shows like Xaiolin Showdown, where I think it was a 4 part finale that had great pacing.

 

This episode felt like more fanservice than Slice of Life. Slice of Life was meant to be a fan episode and I am confused that people complained about it for fanservice. There are episodes from this season that I can name without thinking that were better than today's

 

Lost treasure of Griffonstone
Tanks for the memories
Slice of Life
Princess Spike
Amending fences
Do Princess Dream of Magic Sheep
Canterlot Boutique
Brotherhooves social
Crusader's of the Lost Mark( best season 5 episode)
Made in Manehattan
Hoofields and McColts
The Mane Attraction

 

Season 5 was consistently great.. Season 4 was too, but season 5 had ongoing episodes where I wasn't bored. It lacked a good finale like seasons 2 and 4 had.

 

I mean aside from the villains getting pointless cameos, why was nothing focused on? Stopping Starlight Glimmer? Ok fair enough, simple premise. But why waste time on alternate realities with no tension in them, because they disappear the next scene anyways. I wanted to know more about Sombra and Chrysalis ruling their kingdoms and instead we had to move on to Starlight throwing temper tantrums and having a slapped on redemption at the end.

I gotta say, the season final could have been better, but it wasn't that bad for me. I can honestly say that I cannot wait for season 6.

I have to agree with the remediation part. A villain like here doesn't deserve  a slapped on 10 minute remediation. She needs an episode alonet o rethink herself and go on the road towards  remediation a la Zuko Alone
