@King Clark Something about a friendship school? 

I haven’t heard anything about that...

I dunno, it seems to be in an animistic or something. I usually don't watch those, but it's nice to hear a lot something different from this show.

I think we still would have gotten silly faces if Lauren was still working on the show. I don't think she controlled the animation department so much. 

Also, are you agreeing with me or not? It's kinda unclear. 

I mean, everyone loves "The Saddle Row Review," including myself, and that's the closest to an outright sitcom the show's ever gotten. I at least primarily watch the show for its characters, and a sitcom style would really bring out the best from their interactions and personality quirks.

I agree, but I also like for it to have a good focus on character depth and growth and dealing with personal problems in addition to being light-hearted and funny (while still being for kids). Like a comedy with some drama.

It doesn't even need to transition entirely into a sitcom style! Just every now and then.

Honestly, I just want to see the map used more often in general. It feels like they don't want to use it anymore.

Magic aaaand magic

@Princess Book Horse I kinda hate it, so I'd rather it disappeared entirely. 

*Rarity observing the school ponies in their natural habitat*

She must've taken lessons from Twilight Sparkle.

Sunset has felt like a background character in these latest EQG specials, IMO. 

I think she shows a lot more personality in the Youtube shorts. 

Because Equestria Girls lacks directions. They have no new cool plots, no new story arcs, and no directions. In Slice of life type of stories, the other girls are superior because their traits fit for those type of stories. Sunset and Twilight both fit for  adventure stories, grand scale conflicts. Twilight gets new story arc every season and Sunset got none of that lately. Twilight characters are flawed so there are a lot of things to work with, Sunset, on the other hand, is nearly perfect beside her temper which is the only flaw that you can make a story from it. I think Sunset is still a mascot of Equestria Girls, without her, this show will collapse but if you think she is not particularly important to the appeal of EQG, it's not a good new.

They better give us another EQG movie, I missed the time when EQG was a very big thing.

@Sparklefan1234 I think she showed plenty of personality in the short at the theme park. Her getting mad at the ring toss is one of my favourite Equestria Girls moments. 

@Lambdadelta I think Twilight thrives best in the slice-of-life stories, where she gets to be dorky and weird and not just some heroic figure. Even Sunset is better when they start to make her just another character rather than the heroic leader of the group. 

Why would Equestria Girls crumble without Sunset? The main six are better characters than her and watching them in a mundane human world is a lot of fun. If anything, taking Sunset out of the equation would remove a dead weight on the show. 

Aw jeez, sorry. 

I think the problem is more that it SOUNDS like the episode did. I don't believe the episode ever promoted hazing, nor do I believe the writers wanted that. If that's what people came out of the episode with, to me that just means the writers did a poor job of conveying the message

Unfortune Implications?

Suppose so; it never came across that way to me, maybe because I never really viewed the nicknames as "hazing," per se. But the message isn't "oh, it's okay," it's more "this doesn't mean we think less of you," and it was always Rainbow who decided she was cool with that. Always thought that was obvious.

I totally agree. I really don't understand why people think that at all. :/

The characters will keep growing, like real people should be. The problem is, did writers GROW tired of them ?

@Lambdadelta I should hope not. When so many people still make fanfiction based on those characters, it's offensive to me that the people in charge of the show might not be interested in them. 

Well said, my good man. Very well said, my opinion exactly.

I like Flim and Flam. They're fun from time to time. 

@AlexanderThrond That, and Flam is a stallion I'd totally go gay for. Dat 'stache! Dat hair!

Lol I think the same thing with some episodes and then crazy fans.

That's the problem with obsessive shippers - often times they freak out over trivial things, are blind to common sense, and trying to reason with them is like talking to a brick wall 

I don't like episodes where all characters do is argue.

->Rarity's (who?)

Yes! We need more Magnum P.I. Pony! 

@Sparklefan1234 I'm still hoping we get an episode about Rarity's parents. We know so little about them. 

@AlexanderThrond 

Applejack and Fluttershy also appear to be immortal since neither of them have

celebrated a birthday during the series.

I would've added Rarity if she hadn't recently celebrated a birthday during an EQG Youtube short.

My favorite season

Must not make you happy that I don't like it a whole lot, then.

Nah, people have their own tastes. People get upset that season 2 is my least fav season. Still incredible just my least fav

Probably. It would be cool to see a flashback scene of that in EQG.

Assuming she got over her amazement of human technology, it probably helped her work out some of her anger and frustration. Not enough that she wasn't still a jerk at the time, but still... 

@PoisonClaw For all we know, she didn't really get into gaming until after being reformed; I presume we don't see everything that happens. That sounds less funny, though. 

I've got four on my list, which is more than I usually have for a season.

Sorry to hear that. My least favourite episodes this season have been significantly better than my least favourite episodes in every other season, which is especially refreshing after how much trouble I had with seasons 4 and 5.

I have at least two, but this season has also produced some of my favorite episodes ever, so I can let those slide.

To each their own, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.

like it deserves

Seriously?

@Kiryu-Chan Probably a bit cheap of a pot shot on my part. 

Wouldn't mind seeing this either. It was a surprising little addition to her character so it being put on display would be neat. 

Such an episode could be pretty cute! 

yes  

My headcanon would be to swap those because "Gamer Luna" is a thing in the fandom. 

I'm not actually a big fan of the "gamer Luna" fanon.

My explanation is that Celestia had plenty of time to get used to computers, and likes MMOs because everyone sees her as just a normal pony, whereas Luna spent a thousand years on the moon and is thus completely out-of-touch with everything. 

But then again, Equestria didn't even have computers during the time of the show, so I guess that point is moot. 

Twilight Sparkle is the most tech-savvy pony in Equestria. Everypony else needs to catch up. 

I guess not. 

@AlexanderThrond 

Hasbro moved the Equestria Girls shorts here without telling anyone:

Yeah, I found them. I’ve already seen that special in full though. 

I like "Perfect Pear" way more than "Amending Fences," but it gives me the same feeling of being praised despite not doing that much special. 

Amending Fences & The Perfect Pear are both episodes that i love, beside some reasons why i love them that similar to other people, i find them having some 'aura' that other episodes dont, oh yes, feelings, no, not the right words, ah ha, GOOD VIBES. 

They're both highly emotive. 

Tall CMC's still bore me. 

What are they confused about that anyway? It’s a good episode.

@Lambdadelta I said that I don't mind the CMC acting like children. 

most people generally agree that if you liked TLJ you'll probably dislike RoS a lot, especially seeing as how it blatantly undoes and retcons a lot of what TLJ established

I felt it had its moments; at the end of the day it's still Star Wars, even though it's easily one of my least favourite Star Wars movies. I'm even willing to defend the prequels to an extent. Probably would have been a lot nicer to the new movie if not for the terrible third act. 

I’m glad there is another one who didnt bash TLJ.

Like, what happened after Sunset Shimmer passed her driving test?

That would be pretty funny. 

Can you imagine, with Sunset’s anger issues? 

That reminds me of a Disney short with Goofy called "Motor Mania". 

This episode should have been called "One Daring Do is Enough!", IMO. 

@Sparklefan1234 But then it would clearly be untrue. There can never by do many Daring Dos. 

@AlexanderThrond I agree, as long as they're all clones of A.K. Yearling. 

"Going to Seed".  'Beginning of the End" and "Between Dark and Dawn" are the only S9 episodes

I still enjoy watching.

"Sparkle's Seven" was fun the first couple of times for me but it lost it's "specialness" quickly. 

There’s like 7 or 8 that I really liked the first time through, have yet to watch any of them a second time. 

Take all the best episodes from season 9 and cram them into your season 8 list and pretend them to be season 8 episodes.

My favorite S9  episodes are Sparkle's Seven, Frenemies, Trivial Pursuit, Ending of the End, The Last Problem.
