blog-0063224001373769254.gifHey hey.

Since I'm bored, and have been wanting to do it, I'm gonna go ahead and lay out my basic impression of every single episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, with 1 of 5 ratings for each: Amazing, Great, Good, Average, or Mediocre. If I feel an episode teeters in between two of those, I'll just put both, and will elaborate a bit at the end of each season and will link to my extended thoughts on an episode when possible. Without further ado, here we go:

 

Season 1:

Friendship is Magic, pt 1- Good

Friendship is Magic, pt 2- Good

The Ticket Master- Good

Applebuck Season- Great

Griffon the Brush Off- Great

Boast Busters- Mediocre

Dragonshy- Great

Look Before You Sleep- Great

Bridle Gossip- Great

Swarm of the Century- Great

Winter Wrap Up- Great

Call of the Cutie- Good

Fall Weather Friends- Great

Suited for Success- Amazing

Feeling Pinkie Keen- Amazing

Sonic Rainboom- Great

Stare Master- Good

The Show Stoppers- Good

A Dog and Pony Show- Great

Green Isn't Your Color- Amazing

Over a Barrel- Great

A Bird in the Hoof- Great

The Cutie Mark Chronicles- Great

Owl's Well That Ends Well- Great

Party of One- Great

The Best Night Ever- Great

Overall- Great

A whole lot to like in Season 1! Every single episode of the season is entertaining and full of great moments, and where everything started. While I didn't much like Boast Busters(sorry, it's just not very well-paced plus it introduced Snips and Snails who are terrible), I understand its impact on the fandom with the introduction of Trixie. I felt Green Isn't Your Color was the best episode of the season, if not my favorite of the series because every character in the episode has an amazing role in it, plus it has a ton of incredibly entertaining moments. Suited for Success I feel similarly about, plus it had an amazing song and was my first episode so I have a connection to it. Feeling Pinkie Keen is just a flawlessly entertaining episode though imo, it always makes me laugh. All in all, season 1 just rocks, but the series gets even better!

 

Season 2:

Return of Harmony, pt 1- Amazing

Return of Harmony, pt 2- Amazing

Lesson Zero- Amazing

Luna Eclipsed- Great

Sisterhooves Social- Amazing

The Cutie Pox- Good

May the Best Pet Win!- Great

The Mysterious Mare Do Well- Mediocre

Sweet and Elite- Great

Secret of My Excess- Great

Hearth's Warming Eve- Amazing

Family Appreciation Day- Great

Baby Cakes- Good

The Last Roundup- Amazing

The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000- Great

Read It and Weep- Great

Hearts and Hooves Day- Average

A Friend in Deed- Great

Putting Your Hoof Down- Great

It's About Time- Mediocre

Dragon Quest- Great

Hurricane Fluttershy- Great

Ponyville Confidential- Great

MMMystery on the Friendship Express- Good

A Canterlot Wedding, pt 1- Amazing

A Canterlot Wedding, pt 2- Amazing

Overall- Great/Amazing

Just an awesome season overall. While there were some not very good episodes like Hearts and Hooves Day(wasted potential for a true Valentine's Day episode) The Mysterious Mare Do Well(I don't think I need to tell you why this one's not very good), and It's About Time(probably the dumbest episode in the series imo), the good really outweighs the bad here. The brilliance of the episodes I dubbed amazing really knows no bounds, especially Lesson Zero and A Canterlot Wedding. Season 2 is declared best season by the majority of bronies, and I tend to agree with that notion.

 

Season 3:

The Crystal Empire, pt 1- Amazing

The Crystal Empire, pt 2- Amazing

Too Many Pinkie Pies- Good

One Bad Apple- Good

Magic Duel- Amazing(review: http://mlpforums.com/blog/68/entry-1726-magic-duel-review/

Sleepless in Ponyville- Average(review: http://mlpforums.com/blog/68/entry-1871-sleepless-in-ponyville-review/

Wonderbolt Academy- Great

Apple Family Reunion- Great

Spike at Your Service- Great

Keep Calm and Flutter On- Amazing(review: http://mlpforums.com/blog/68/entry-2642-season-3-final-four-reviews-1-keep-calm-and-flutter-on/

Just for Sidekicks- Average(review: http://mlpforums.com/blog/68/entry-2797-season-3-final-four-reviews-2-just-for-sidekicks/

Games Ponies Play- Good(review: http://mlpforums.com/blog/68/entry-3092-season-3-final-four-reviews-3-games-ponies-play/

Magical Mystery Cure- Amazing(review: http://mlpforums.com/blog/68/entry-3216-season-3-final-four-reviews-4-magical-mystery-cure/

Overall- Great

Season 3 is short, but pretty sweet. Not a single bad episode really, and quite a few incredible ones. I didn't like Sleepless in Ponyville as much as others did really, but I certainly don't hate the episode or anything, and Just for Sidekicks was also somewhat dissapointing to me. But with the awesomeness in most of the rest of the episodes, especially the premiere, Magic Duel, Keep Calm and Flutter On, and the season finale, there's a lot to love in season 3's smaller package.

 

Phew, that was exhausting. Thanks for reading, and feel free to tell me what you think of every episode! And let me know what you disagree with, if you care enough. All in all, I think the whole series is pretty great, and I hope the upcoming Season 4 gives us a ton more of great/amazing episodes!

Oh, and for the record:

Equestria Girls- Good

;)

I pretty much agree with most of the episodes in Season 3 but, Spike at Your Service had some mixed reactions.

Well finally someone who agrees that Season three was awesome! But, am I the only one who likes the Mysterious Mare do Well? I thought it was a pretty solid episode, and  a good lesson to teach Dashie.

 

I agree with Boast Busters, I hate Snips and Snails with a passion.

I share a lot of the same feelings for a lot of the same episodes! Season 2 is not my personal favorite season, but you're pretty spot on. :)

I didn't mind Mare Do Well much at first, but over time with repeated viewings it just started sort of getting on my nerves more I guess, which similarly happened with It's About Time for me as well. :P

Oh, well if you watched it over and over again I understand that. Watching the same thing over and over again does get on my nerves to. Again, great review.

Agree with 85%. I really hate Cider 6000 and Sidekicks.

I can see that, I almost really hate Just for Sidekicks, but I can't resist an episode with Fluttercuddles, Tank's adorableness, and a Zecora cameo completely despite the way Spike acts in it. :P

Believe me, I've watched all of them over and over again... but you know a series is great when only a few episodes get on your nerves. ;)

Pretty good review overall I think, I enjoy basically all the series basically all the episodes really don't get on my nerves and if they do it's small.

 

I've still watched from beggining to end multiple times.

 

But good short review overall :)

Well it's not really because of Gilda that I like the episode, but rather that it's one of the first really good and entertaining episodes of the series to me. :)

Oh, I didn't even notice you did one too! I'll check it out. ;)

 

And don't worry about it, it's totally fine, I certainly encourage people to do their own too if they want! :)
