Flight to the finish

Hello there this is according to me, and today I'll be looking flight to the finish. Well this episode sure came out faster then expected, and it was all thanks for my need to finish this whole thing in one long stretch. So yeah sorry if their are few grammar mistakes, I'll fix them in the morning or something. Sorry if I sound lazy, I am just tired because of working this hole thing. Now back on topic this episode has retrieved lots of great scores, and reviewers all over seem to like this episode a lot. I am one of those reviewers, this episode is very good. Heck it probably top 10 favorite episodes of this season, but why is Flight to the finish the next best thing since canned double rainbows that shoot out all sort of candy?

 

Well the story is kinda simple, but it works pretty well. You there is a competition where all of the colts and foals put on a show, and whoever puts on the best show wins and gets to the be the flag carriers for the Equestria games. While putting on their show of all of Equestria. So naturally the CMC sign, and go into training montage. Which is really seems unnecessary because they are not shown practicing their show routine, and instead doing the normal training montage. However I can forgive it because of song playing Hearts as Strong as horses, this pretty good. Not great or amazing mind you, but still good nun the less. Now after it's over and they do their routine, they get in. Now with a local bullies Diamond Tiara, and Sliver Spoon they decided to make the hole thing fall part because if they didn't then they would be kicked off the show. They do this by getting into Scootaloo, and taunting her about not being able to fly.

 

Which is when we get to the juicy, moist, and hearty meat of this episode. The conflict in here is very done, and is pretty great. Scootaloo tries her best to be able to fly, but just can't. However she just keeps on trying anyways causing her friends to tell to just let go, but if she did then we won't have gotten this good of a episode. Leading to her doing not very thought out things, and a emotional conflict. It makes me feel sort bad enjoying this conflict, but it's just so freaking good. I can help be smile and cry at the same time for different reasons.

 

So with this good of a conflict, it better have a good solution to this or else things just won't feel right. A good example of this in magic duel, Trixie just saying I am sorry at the last minute didn't feel right because it was out of left field. We didn't get to see Trixie come to terms to Twilight on screen, so since it had no build up and just happened. It don't feel like it had any weight to it, and so Trixie's sorry didn't feel like good closure to the conflict. I could go on about this, but I save it for when I review magic duel.

 

Back on to the point Scootaloo gets all depressed and realized she never fly. She goes home and tears off all of her posters and puts them in the trash instead of on the train to the games. Which just typing this is bringing to tears to my eyes, and no I not making this up for dramatic effect. Stop looking at me like that, I am telling the truth here!! Rainbow Dash sees that The CMC are missing a member, and then figuring stuff out goes over to Scootaloo's home. Which Dashie tells her to stop being all down on yourself, and that she isn't completely worthless. After which Scootaloo, and the rest of CMC get on the train by means of impossible stunts.

 

So they win happy ending, and all that good stuff. So now that's I am done with all of that, what are some of my final thoughts. This episode is great, and the song is pretty good to boot. The conflict is very good, and has a good conclusion to it. With all the other stuff I said up there I give this episode my seal of approval, and a 9 out of 10. This has been MrRiderman, sighing off and remember don't trust bears with your kids.
