Skystrider

-These are the top episodes and i must say, some of my favorite in the entire series. Sleepless in Ponyville was DEFINITELY my new favorite the moment i saw it, and Wonderbolts Academy is in third just behind Luna Eclipsed. 1. Sleepless in Ponyville (with Scootaloo being my favorit CMC and Rainbow Dash being my favorite character i knew i would like this episode right when i saw the Synopsis on EQD. But when i watched it i was actually amazed how much better it was than i thought it would be. seeing Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash bonding was friggin adorable...plus LUNA) 2. Wonderbolts Academy (REALLY close behind Sleepless in Ponyville! this was another episode i knew i would love right when i saw the Synopsis. it reminds me of AFROTC...sort of xD) 3. Apple Family Reunion (before this episode Applejack was my least favorite pony. But after seeing how amazing of a character AJ was rather than just the sort of boring character i thought she was before i couldnt help myself from falling in love with this episode and bumping her up a few spaces on my favorites list) 4. One Bad Apple (honestly, the fact that they introduced a new character that i can relate to and packed this episode with humor and, of corse, adorableness, puts this one where it is on my list) -Past this point the episodes are just sort of forgettable for me, not that they are bad by any means, jut not nearly as good as episodes that aired previously in the series. 5. Too Many Pinkie Pies (i love the episodes that have Pinkie Pie NOT acting so hyperactive she has virtually no cohesive dialog and just spouts random nonsense like in The Last Roundup) 6. Magic Duel (i do think this one is very overrated though, the Twilights vs Trixie thing is cool and all, and the reappearance of Zechora was great but...its not the single most amazing episode ever conjured in the history of Television like many other bronies make it out to be) 7. Chrystal Empire (its REALLY hard to follow up on an episode as absolutely spectacular as A Canterlot Wedding, but i feel this one could have gone much worse than it did. overall, not a bad episode.) 8. Magical Mystery Cure (if only it were a two parter it may be in my top 5 for this season...oh well. they just tried to pack SO much story into one episode and while i think they did a pretty good job i that respect overall the plot had utterly massive gaps that just had no further information to fill them. seriously, what was it that Twilight did that had apparently "never been done before"? at least this episode was full of great songs) 9. Keep Calm and Flutter on (i feel Discord was "reformed" WAY to quickly and now we may never see him again. like Magical Mystery Cure, if this were a two parter it could have been spectacular...oh well...again) 10. Spike at Your Service (see below) 11. Just for Sidekicks (at least Spike is funny, thats pretty much the only thing that saved this episode and Spike at Your Service from being last and second to last on my list) 12. Games Ponies Play (honestly one of the ONLY episodes in the entire series i can truly say i dont really like. i just dont see where this episode came from and what it has to do with anything we saw since. why didnt we get to see the actual Equestria games at some point? hopefully they will be the focus of the Season 4 Premere)

for me Twilight just isnt my favorite character(in fact she is my least favorite) so her becoming an alicorn didnt really effect me and my view of the show personally. i suppose i can relate to people who may like Twilight though, she went from being the smart and sort of geeky but still totally down-to-earth, regular and normal pony to being equestrian royalty, this is the exact opposite of what i feel most pre-alicorn Twilight fans connected to. i know if they made Rainbow Dash an alicorn and a princess i would probably not be a brony anymore xD but honestly i was more proud of Twilight than anything, seeing how far she has come since episode 1 was amazing. but i can TOTALLY understand how angry many bronies are.

when i dont have classes the next day i sometimes stay up past 4:00AM, usually past 3:00AM at the minimum. the latest i ever stayed up was past 5:00AM watching an episode on Netflix lol, i cant get enough pony xD

iv never really bent over, completely out of breath sort of laughing. but the show has made me laugh pretty damn hard from time to time.

i new this episode was going to be great, mainly because scootaloo is my favorite CMC(and she is just so damn adorable), but i had NO idea it would be this good. it was absolutely perfect in every way IMO!...and i have to say...NEW ALL TIME FAVORITE EPISODE!
