I just finished watching "The Wash-outs" (Season 8 Episode 20) and it was a pretty damn good episode. I thoroughly enjoyed that. I would say it's DEFINITELY one of the better episodes of the Season. Like, seriously...this is what I'm talking about. They CAN make good episodes IF THEY WAN'T TO. Honestly, this is a breath of fresh air after the amount of mediocre episodes we've been having. I don't like how the show is focusing so much on the students and the mane 6 being teachers. It kinda sucks the fun out of the show...
Also, there's A LOT of shouting in this episode
You'll see what I mean when you go and watch it .png ";)")
Here are my thoughts / here is an overview on the episode. Of course, I've kept them under spoilers
.png ":)")
SpoilerIt was nice to see a 'different' kind of 'wonderbolt'. (The Shadow bolts aren't really a thing. They only made ONE appearance and that was back in the Season 1 premiere) Basically, the 'Wash-outs' are wonderbolt rejects who do death-defying stunts. It was really cool to see Lightning Dust, after all these years. Honestly, I thought she would be a lot more aggressive towards RD ('cuz of what happened in Season 3), but as usual, she was super chill. Ultimately, the episode had Scootaloo joining them (she was captivated by their death defying stunts and she was annoyed with RD trying to stop her from liking them) and Rainbow Dash saving her (as well as Lightning Dust tasting pure, sweet Karma)
For those of you who haven't seen the episode, you guys are in for a treat

@Tacodidra Amongst all the episodes this Season, the ones I've liked so far are: Episodes 4 - 11
the other ones have been kinda...meh...or they've rubbed me the wrong way 
(I'm looking at you, 'Marks For Effort' 
)
SpoilerHonestly, Lightning Dust's appearance was a BIG suprise
...and a welcome return 
it's nice to see some 'conflict' every once in a while makes the episodes more fun :3

Personally, I wish they'd eschew any framing device at all & just go for a "stuff going on around Ponyville" vibe. Slice O' Life, ya know like the hundredth episode was. Like, Lyra & Bons show up to visit Twi or other minor characters bomfing in to stir the pot of an average everyday life.
Kinda hate importance being placed on the characters like nothing matters unless the Main Six are there & center. ...Pinkie, Applejack, Flutters & Dash aren't "teachers" this season, right...? They don't make good, uh, supervisors.
