Quick update

At the end of my "Shadow Play" review, I promised:
1. a season 7 wrap-up review,
2. a top 10 Worst Episodes list,
3. a top 26 Best Episodes list.

I've not gotten around to the latter two yet, and for that I'm sorry; unless there's particular demand, I've decided not to go forward with the "Worst Episodes" list, as I'm tired of my own negativity towards this show. Such a list would probably look something like this:

 

  • "Look Before You Sleep"
  • "The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well"
  • "Games Ponies Play"
  • "Magical Mystery Cure"
  • "Twilight Time"
  • "Somepony to Watch Over Me"
  • "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?"
  • "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows"
  • "What About Discord?"
  • "Hard to Say Anything"'


Although, were I willing to stretch beyond the show, Equestria Girls's "Mirror Magic" would absolutely make the cut. In any case. I still want to publish the favourite episodes list, but I haven't seen much of the show in a couple years, and my tastes have surely changed since then. No date promised, but it's still coming; in the I'll update my list of episode scores as I work through the rest of the show, concluding once I've rated every episode. 

Thank you for your patience.

Numbers "one" & "four" on that list are two of my favorite episodes. :(

I haven't really seen "Magical Mystery Cure" in a while; there's specific aspects of it which really get on my nerves, but the songs do sound nice. With "Look Before You Sleep," I just can't stand Rarity and Applejack's bickering.

It's interesting to see your opinion of "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?", which is well-loved by fan but being heavy-criticized by crttics. I wonder why "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows" in this list, this is just a harmless fun episode and less annoying than some episodes like Show Stoppers, Somepony to Watch Over me, or infamous Rainbow Falls....... wait a minute, no SPIKE AT YOUR SERVICE?! Uh, ok, I am tired to see the same episode being bashed every year anyway :oneheckofahat:

Huh. Surprise there's no 28 pranks later :P 

I think that episode is kinda funny and has a nice atmosphere.

I just don’t like anything in that episode. The jokes are lazy, the action is weightless, and if I recall correctly, Luna’s arc is barely present until the end, when it’s resolved in a borderline offensive manner.

It’s a single joke repeated endlessly. Can’t stand it. “Show Stoppers” barely missed the list, “Rainbow Falls” is at least way more ambitious.

Guilty pleasure. I find that episode funny, as nonsensical as it is. Has some really nice dialogue and an endearingly casual tone.
