Sitting in my room fighting the battle to stay awake writing my silly story with my only allies being determination, The Wonder Years and Motion City blasting at full volume, and this cup of coffee I made for myself. Since I'm really only good at procrastinating Because I have plenty of free time though, I'll be listing off this season's episodes by a scale of 1 - 10. My opinion on these episodes and season 5 will change over time.

 

Except for Princess Spike. Princess Spike was awful.

 

The Cutie Map: 10/10, a really good start for Season 5 and really sets this year's theme of Cutie Marks.

 

Castle Sweet Castle: 7/10, as Rainbow puts it, it was alight.

 

Bloom & Gloom: 9/10, a GOOD CMC episode? Well, maybe a good Spike episode isn't a hopeless dream after all!

 

Tanks for the Memories: 5/10, I like how Rainbow didn't even have to do community service for jeopardizing the lives of others in this, I need more of this to fill the empty void that Dan Vs. once filled :P

 

Appleoosa's Most Wanted: 5/10, well, maybe Spike's episode will be better...

 

Make New Friends but Keep Discord: 2/10, what? Discord's a redeemed villain? I couldn't tell, really.

 

The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone: 6/10, the lore wasn't really worth much.

 

Slice of Life: 10/10, one of the best non-opener episodes in Season 5.

 

Dipshit Princess Spike (silly old auto-correct): -1/10, the embodiment of everything I hate about Spike's treatment. Nothing redeeming about it, not even the memes could sway my opinion. Please put Spike out of his misery already.

 

Party Pooped: 1/10, I'd wish they would stop yakking around. The yaks felt every little bit of stereotypical and were simply unsympathetic on screen (I was kinda hoping they did go to war just to see the Princesses curb stomp them).

 

Amending Fences: 10/10, Larson, stop tormenting me like this, please.

 

Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheeps: 3/10, this episode sure is a good one to sleep through.

 

Canterlot Boutique: 8/10, what I learn is Rarity's well liked for a reason.

 

Rarity Investigates: 7/10, I love me some film noir.

 

Made in Manhatten: 4/10, meh 1.

 

Brotherhood Social: 4/10, meh 2.

 

Crusaders of the Lost Mark: 10/10, I'm loving the CMC right now.

 

The One Who Pinkie Pie Knows: 3/10, a dull watch.

 

Heartbreakers: 8/10, and in good old Pinkie fashion she makes a comeback.

 

Scare Master: 7/10, Flutters' not savage enough. - EQD

 

What About Discord: 2/10, okay Discord, pack your things and beat it. You may not be the nicest of the recurring cast, but you should know by now that not being a dick is mandatory.

 

The Hooffields and McColts: 3/10, almost as bad as the yaks.

 

The Mane Attraction: 9/10, AJ has the coolest childhood friend out of the six.

 

The Cutie Re-Mark: 4/10, the alternate timeline hijinks were all entertaining (still don't see how two greedy salesmen are worse than a centaur who becomes more stronger and destructive by absorbing magic though) but the pacing near the end felt iffy, and I generally not a huge fan of how they capped things off.

 

Overall, I'd say this was a good season despite some bumps along the way. Hopefully Rainbow won't destroy another weather factory while we all hibernate.

 

Oh right, my story.
