Season 6 still has yet to produce a single episode which I avsolutely hated, and it's the first season to do so.
-
Whenever this show disappoints me, I can take solace in the fact that I'll never hate an episode as much as I hate "Magical Mystery Cure."
-
"Dungeons & Discords" was the funniest thing, and Discord had real character development! God I love this season.
-
I'll honestly be disappointed if the season 6 finale ISN'T a slice-of-life episode. Major threats to Equestria are so, so, SO overdone at this point.
-
"The Times They Are a Changeling" hit me like a bag of bricks. One of the season's best. Not entirely sure about its take on prejudice, though.
-
I feel that focusing on logical consistency in this show is really doing yourself a disservice.
-
"28 Pranks Later" has so fun moments and such a solid lesson that I wish it were less predictable and redundant. Review to come.
-
Am I the only one who thought that "Gauntlet of Fire" was just okay?
-
It's interesting how MLP is a child-oriented show where most of the main characters are adults.
-
Still really hoping for an episode of plotless camaraderie. Like, just the mane six farting around, or holding some low-stakes competition or something. Let the show leave conflict behind and relax for once; it'd be fun.
-
God, can I go three threads on this place without it turning into into an anti-Starlight ragefest?
-
I'm not yet at a point where non-child-friendly visual gags in MLP episodes aren't really funny to me. Nothing will top the ecstasy pacifier in "The Saddle Row Review," but the bound Daring Do body pillow comes close.
-
I've said it before, but my issue with the idea of show focusing on more adventuring and worldbuilding is that none of the main characters have major goals or personal attachments outside of Manehattan, Canterlot, Cloudsdale, Ponyville and the Crystal Empire. The only way to get them out of those places without stories that have nothing to do with them would be a much longer story arc, and the show just doesn't want to serialise that much.
-
I dunno if it's my preference for character dramas and sitcoms speaking, but I'm struggling to comprehend why so many people seem bothered by most episodes taking place in the same environments.
-
Just learned today about "Magical Mystery Cure" being intended as the MLP series finale. Somehow, that makes it EVEN WORSE, if that's even possible.
-
Wow, those next three MLP episodes have premises as uninteresting as this first half's premises were interesting.
-
"Applejack's 'Day' Off" would have been to Applejack what "Flutter Brutter" was to Fluttershy if it weren't so dull. Great characterisation wasted.
-
So it seems there's a lot of dissatisfaction with season 6 here, but I think it's the best the show's been in years. Way better than seasons 4 and 5.
-
I know it's never gonna happen, but goddamn would I like this show to introduce some serialised elements.
-
I should be used to this after spending so much time on Twitter, but goddamn do people here use smileys a lot.
-
"Newbie Dash" is a not-particularly-entertaining parade of wasted potential, but I kinda have a soft spot for it that's only grown over time.
-
I find myself mirroring the consensus a little more on season 6, but honestly I don't think it'd bother me if I weren't, because I'm enjoying this season more than I've enjoyed the show in years.
-
I continue to not understand the appeal of season 5's most popular episodes, "Amending Fences" and "The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone." I mean, I don't hate "Amending Fences" (though I do hate "Griffonstone"), but I have no clue what people see in either.
