My One-Word Thoughts on Every Single MLP:FiM Episode
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
