Both those episodes were hard to take. The breezie episode was a rather weak episode, so having it follow such an unbearable episode has derailed my enthusiasm for the season. Now while I am not a TV executive CMC episodes are honestly usually gimmick episodes, something to fill up time and not have a lot of overall weight. The breezies are also a gimmick episode, as it focused on small one time creatures that spoke high pitched non-sense and honestly did nothing aside from be weak and useles...

Aha. Breezies was part of the story arc of the season, however.

...and I believe that back to back gimmick episodes are always a bad idea regardlesss of series. There should have been an episode focusing on established characters between the two. Yes I know it was important for Fluttershy to have the rainbow reaction (which I still haven't had spoiled what those are yet. Hurray!) but something less gimmicky between the two would be appreciated.
