I'm surprised at the large amount of "no's" here. For once, I definitely support it - it really gives the show a whole new dynamic and direction, as Twi finally uncovers her destiny. I mean, that is the whole of her coming to Ponyville and having all those wild adventures, no? Now all we need are episodes that will soon uncover other destinies of the mane 6, such as Dash being a Wonderbolt and Rarity being Canterlot famous.

Not counting all my reaction images involving MLP, I'd say a good ~50. Most of them are used for avatars or signature placeholders - the rest are just little images or comics that I just really liked, which deserved a save. If you count all the reaction images and placeholder album covers for MLP fanmade songs that don't have an automatic cover for it, I'd rack up around ~75 then.

I honestly think you're not alone. People treat MLP as a religion nowadays, and to an extent where it is not at all good for you. Keep first things first, that's for sure. Sort of like gaming - tone down your habits, but stay true to your obsession. Twilight would be very disappointed in you if you keep doing that.

To be fairly honest, I would most likely panic. Equestria is a rather scary place when you think about it. You've got pretty much impeding doom everywhere.

To be super honest, I cannot recall a single moment where I had any laughter. The most I ever get are chuckles, but this is natural of me as I'm not the sort of guy who gets laughter from cartoons, oddly enough. I seem to laugh more on sitcoms and reality shows and whatnot.

When I first got into the show, Applebloom was my favorite, reason being I related to how much she really wants to find her true talent. As I become more into the show, I liked Pinkie more for her zany and eccentric character. Soon, I was leaning more to Applejack because hey, I love an underdog character and AJ really appealed to me in season two. Octavia became my first favorite background pony, but the spotlight was taken by Lyra after reading shortskirtandexplosion's Background Pony. So, in short, I still like all the ponies I've listed. But if anything, my list would be: 1. AJ 2. Lyra 3. Pinkie 4. Octavia 5. Applebloom Runner ups would definitely be the rest of the Mane 6 and Vinyl.

For a moment, I thought that at one point in the new season, Twi would eventually give up her Princess powers or something in that effect. I'm still curious as to how this goes. On a personal standpoint, I hope to see a lot more adventure coming out of the new AliTwi. It is most likely not going to happen, since we still need our usual slice-of-life episodes, but I find adventure episodes really fun to me (see: Dragonshy, Return to Harmony).

I honestly don't want to hate nor love the season finale of season 3 if we're not getting the entire story. Remember - Megan said there is two more parts to it when season 4 comes out. If it is the two missing pieces to the rather incomplete-feeling finale, then I would place my opinion. Personally, Dragon Quest was my least favorite. Can't say it was the worst, but I personally just didn't like it.

One thing I'm confused about is that he's still referred to as a "baby dragon", when clearly in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" during the Twi flashback, he is clearly much, much younger. It is confusing to be honest, alongside the fact dragons grow faster by greed.

I could go on and on about why, but quite possibly why I love it is because of character development. Often times, cartoons just have bleak characters cut and pasted throughout episodes with the same mindset each time. Here, we see that characters obviously grow, learning from mistakes and whatnot. It makes the small stories and characters more enjoyable to watch, seeing how they reach their full potential as time goes on. Plus, animation-wise, it is gorgeous. The attention to detail is astounding - practically everything moves, making the place more than just a fictional destination. The background characters are just as animated as the foreground characters, the way the manes and tails move makes the characters feel lively, and there are just small bits of detail everywhere that really make a great, positive difference.

Aside from homework and studying, I have a few things to catch up on now that I can finally sleep in on Saturdays. For starters, I still need to finish Background Pony by shortskirtsandexplosions, and have a bunch of video games to both buy and complete. Good thing Luigi Mansion: Dark Moon and Animal Crossing: New Leaf is almost on the horizon. Also: tumblr. Lots. And lots. Of tumblr.

Nicole has a good singing voice. I think it would have been a lot cooler if it was a duet ballad, involving Luna and Celest. That'd be pretty sweet. The visuals accompanied with Celestia's Ballad was also really moving. Just putting that out there.

So there was something about this episode that I both loved and hated. I was honestly surprised as to how fast paced this episode was, considering most of the story was told in song. Honestly, I loved the musical episode they had with this; Danial and M.A. must have had a field day composing and writing this. It was a rather interesting episode, but for some reason, I feel as if I just can't bring myself to completely love this episode. Don't get me wrong, holy crap was it an amazing finale - much different than others. But I feel as if much more could have been done. Oh well - we still have the rumored "other two parts" season 4 will hold. The music was also nice - lots of musical-play vibes. The "What My Cutie Mark is Telling Me" and "A True, True Friend" has been stuck in my head all day, including the accompanied visuals. Overall, this season was a rather good one. Season two will remain my favorite so far, but the episodes they had for this one was rather a surprise, as we got a lot more twists such as Discord, Trixie, and others. I'm pretty stoked to see season 4 now and what they plan on doing with AliTwi, princess and all. Perhaps now that Twi has discovered her true calling, we might either see adventures of AliTwi and friends, or maybe even the other ponies rising to their destinies, such as RD and the Wonderbolts and Rarity achieving Canterlot stardom. Also, anyone else notice the choices of marathon episodes that led up to the finale? Apparently, it contained the pilot, the season starters, and some episodes such as "Winter Wrap Up" and "Magic Duel" - both mostly focused on Twi and her abilities and/or learning more and more about the wonders of friendship. Interesting. Also, did I mention I got some feels from this episode? Knowing that many of us have watched since the start, it was truly amazing to watch our beloved character rise to her destiny. It was like watching your own child do something amazing. Dang.
