I need to look where you'r'e looking then

It's normal for your interest in any show to have it's ups and downs until you eventually drop interest altogether or stay committed forever. So far my interest for the show hasn't dropped, but more so my interest in the fandom dropped a few months ago. Just getting back into the swing of things

After watching many reaction videos to episode 8, I noticed how people nitpicked that we were getting a Christmas episode in may and how the episode wasn't creative because it was a Christmas Carol/The Grinch ripoff. (in the comments at least, the youtubers were really chill) In fact, it seems as though those who did enjoy the episode, only enjoyed it because of the the Luna and Starlight songs. But personally, I think it was an amazing episode. I don't think it's fair to demand holiday episodes to air near or on that exact holiday all the time since we don't know the reason behind it. (at least I don't). So what a Christmas episode aired so far away from the actual date? And surprisingly enough, I find this Hearth's Warming episode the best out of all the others; Hearthbreakers a close second. I also favor this episode as the best musical episode too: - Catchy song for an intro - F*cking bravo to Starlight for that entertaining number - Seeds of the fast is a very meaningful song many people need to listen to. Lyrics spoke the truth - Pinkie pie you done it again! I love upbeat songs with a swingin' tune! - Luna (I'm sure many would agree) sung beautifully and the instrumental gave her song a very haunting, bone-chilling vibe that made me smile - Sweet/cheery reprise Unlike other musical episodes, it didn't feel too rushed or crammed. Each number flowed to the next while keeping the story going along. And I think the episode was creative despite the heavy influence of two Christmas classics and the similar plotline. They found a way to mash the classics and Starlight's cutie mark issue all over again. Most people. including me, figured she was some twisted villain with evil motives when she was actually a twisted confused pony making drastic decisions she felt were needed to be done to make Equestria a better place. And this was basically the same for Snowfall. Also...I honestly don't see why people think the lesson in this episode was to guilt-trip and brainwash your friends into into enjoying a holiday they don't care for? I thought that sort of thing was addressed in Season 5: Scaremaster (An episode I will forever applaud). Twilight simply shared a classic to Starlight so she'd understand that Hearth's Warming goes beyond upholding a tradition and clinging to a myth, and don't let your lack of belief on some story make you believe a certain holiday is a waste of everyone's time. In the end, Twilight did give her a choice right?

I might be in the minority here, but this episode sounds like a hit to me if it's written well. I know many people including myself who can relate to this. Its tough giving tough love to your own sibling especially when they need to get their shit together. Lets not forget how much of a push over Fluttershy used to be....so I'd imagine her Brother always misunderstood what she tries to tell him and takes it as doing stuff his own way. My greatest fear is failure. And I'm sure many other young college kids feel the same. Interesting plot....hope it turns out well

I really enjoyed this episode. The lesson was good,but the most I got out it was how to be selfless. I've always admired how mature and helpful Rarity is towards her friends and how she'll do anything to cheer them up. I loved the interaction between her and pinkie pie, but Maud stole the show (duh).

You...Must have had a lot of time on your hands to come up with this, my friend lol.

It's just a harmless question. Maybe it was clear to you, but it wasn't clear to me. Yes I know of the journal.of the two sisters, and yes I saw the Hearth's Warming episode, but I was only wondering since Luna stated alicorns by birth were even beyond THEIR understanding. I get Equestria has never seen it, and I can even understand that Celestia and Luna never saw one, but to me it seemed as if alicorn birth was "unheard of" period. Had they said something like "there hasn't been an alicorn birth since our birth" or "Never has this happened in Equestria. Luna and I were born before it's time, so we were thought to be the last of alicorn birth" or something along those lines. Hell, I don't know... But I'm simply asking.

Nice loophole. But Luna did say it was beyond their understanding which was why I asked. Its all.....really confusing. But I'm sure Season 6 will shed more light on alicorns. I can imagine future episodes where Twilight tries to figure out how Flurryheart was born an alicorn. Who knows
