Ugh, this is a tough one.
SpoilerDay #14: Favorite scene.
If this were "favorite moment," that'd be easy. However, as much as I loved the moment of AJ watching two shooting stars as Granny Smith says not everyone may make the next Apple family reunion, I only like — not love — the scene as a whole.
So, going off the top of my head, I'll give my current favorite scenes per seasons:
-
Season 1: Pinkamena at Sugar Cube Corner (up to 2:47).
Spoiler
Wanna exhibit a set of two differing personalities? Look at this. At the time, Pinkie's psyche spiraled completely out of control, turning the altruistic Earth pony into a lonely grump who had moments of looking quite deranged. Believing her "friends" abandoned her, she's grieving in her own darkly humorous way. But Rainbow Dash, creeped out, showed concern in her own way, not giving up on her and preparing to bring her to Sweet Apple Acres the hard way.
-
Season 2: Fluttershy's training montage. (I don't think I need to say any more.)
Spoiler
-
Season 3: Dash visits Spitfire's office one more time.
Spoiler
Becoming a Wonderbolt was her lifelong dream. To stick by her own morals and be willing to quit over the WBs compromising her own integrity marks the apex of her character.
-
Season 4: Twilight rallies Ponyville to help Dash study.
Spoiler
Figuring out that Dash has the ability to observe and absorb even the smallest details while patrolling the skies, Twilight crafted her best crafted plan of the series: As they fly, Dashie catalogs it all without realizing it. Ponyville's role was also vital, demonstrating the sense of community to help one of their own. In short, it's beautiful.

Season 5: A party for Moondancer (the first 3:25 in the following video).
Spoiler
This scene was built perfectly. Twilight invites MD to her party, hoping to fix the painful mistake she made years ago. But MD, still hurt, let out her now famous tirade, unleashing all the frustration, embarrassment, and pain she felt since that day, when Twi's abandonment of Canterlot and rejection made her feel lied to and worthless. As everyone comforts her, Pinkie and Spike bring in those she was close with: the librarian, bookseller, and her sister. Moondancer has friends, and Twilight had the maturity to swallow the most painful lesson of the entire series.
And for a very close second, Spoiled Rich confronting her daughter. People like Spoiled exist in real life, and bullies often face hardships back home. No matter how much you hated Diamond Tiara then, one thing's for certain — you hated how her mom emotionally abused her. It was sickening. "The Pony I Wanna Be" only adds to DT's sorrow. -
Season 6: Spike confronts her friends inside the castle.
Spoiler
The group of Starlight and Twilight have already begun to doubt the franticness of Shining and Cadance's army, but the latter has a point. With their harrowing experience with changelings back in the day, they're preparing themselves in case they try to invade again. Little did they know that Spike walked past security, confronted them all, and defended Thorax in front of everyone, willingly sacrificing his celebrity status to do the right thing. When no one was going to give him a chance, Twi stepped up, and the rest followed.
-
Season 7: The altar.
Spoiler
When things began to get bleak for both Buttercup and Bright Mac, he arranged a nighttime wedding with Mrs. Cake, Burnt Oak, and Mayor Mare at the site that divided the Pear and Apple orchards. So much goes on just a small amount of time. Pear Butter agreeing to marry on the spot, sealing their vows by planting their own seeds in the rivaling orchard. Granny and Grand confronting them too late. But most importantly, the moment that drove the episode's primary moral of grieving over a mistake you can't repair: Rather than welcoming the Apples, an incensed Grand disowned his daughter at the altar and never saw her again.
-
Season 8: The ReMane 7 reunite and reconcile.
Spoiler
This argument had brewed for a while, beginning with Twi's frustration over the photographer arriving late. Throughout their trek, everything went haywire, and bumping into Chryssie's counterparts without knowing it didn't help any matters. Their anger felt real and raw. Tensions boiled over. It was the closest the Bearers of Harmony ever came into disbanding. But Twilight was able to lead the charge and get everyone, including herself, back on the right page. What started as dramatic ended heartwarming.
Another excellent scene is the famous "DRINKIN' THROUGH A STRAW!" Aside from just being hysterical , it brought another magnificent point that Confalone brilliantly crafted. Dash's "tough love" only made Scootaloo feel more and more alienated and unbelonging. Lightning Dust told Dash right in front of her that anyone is welcomed to the Wonderbolts, making her believe the Washouts were more inclusive to disabled pegasi like her. Was Dash right to be scared? Of course! But combining the worry with her own ego only made Scoot trust Dash less. The "tough love" was the breaking point, driving her into joining Dust's team.

Season 9: This whole damn clip!
Spoiler
Big Mac felt disappointed in himself for screwing up, believing he wasn't living up to his late parents' legacies. But Sugar Belle reassured that despite the trials today and then, they won't have to figure it all out alone anymore. The dual proposal was one of the cutest moments of the series. Applejack being the one they spoke to. The setting sun sitting perfectly within the heart of the intertwining tree, symbolically suggesting that Bright Mac and BC welcome their marriage. Grand Pear giving his unconditional blessings to his grandson by attending their wedding and cheering their marriage.
