Best episode of MLP: Frenemies
An entertaining episode with relevance to the story and organic character interactions, as well as being the episode that made me start to like Tirek and Chrysalis. It also had a super fun song.
Not listed in order, here are some episodes that are REALLY good, but not The Best Episode.
Griffon the Brush-Off
A great episode about how you should cut abusive people out of your lives, plus it was fun and has nostalgia on it's side. Best season 1 episode.
Dragon Quest
This was probably the first episode that Spike was treated fairly by the writers, and I love it. Best season 2 episode.
Hurricane Fluttershy
This episode was incredible because it had Rainbow encouraging Fluttershy and determined Fluttershy and cute Fluttershy and great entertainment.
Sleepless in Ponyville
An amazing Scootaloo episode, I've gained newfound appreciation for it and also it was the first episode where I think Rainbow started to understand how Scootaloo feels about her and started to reciprocate that a little. Best season 3 episode.
Wonderbolts Academy
Wow, Rainbow had really good episodes for the first 3 seasons. This one has certain nostalgic value for me and also I just always feel invested in this story.
It Ain't Easy Being Breezies
Amazing moral, also it was a Fluttershy episode that was amazing.
Inspiration Manifestation
Wow. Another episode that does Spike justice and when Spike did what he needed to do at the end of the episode, and Rarity and him had that chat, it was so heartwarming. Best episode of season 4.
The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone
This is one of my favorite episodes in the series because it is so enjoyable, Pinkie was hilarious but not annoying, and this was one of 3 season 5 episodes I watched during my "break", when I didn't even know there was a season 4 or 5. Best episode of season 5.
Rarity Investigates!
An episode I'd watch again in a heartbeat, so engaging.
The Gift of the Maud Pie
This had the first MLP moment that made me happy-cry, and Rarity was just the best here.
Gauntlet of Fire
Another great Spike episode, and also Rarity and Twilight were awesome here too.
The Times They Are a Changeling
This actually was the episode that made me start thinking that changelings are cute, Thorax was an amazing character, and I should get around to putting him somewhere on my favorite characters list along with Pear Butter, and Spike was also fantastic, and Flurry was adorable. Best episode of season 6.
To Where and Back Again
My second-favorite finale, it has amazing Discord, funny interactions between Discord and Trixie, and AMAZING Thorax. Plus cute changelings and no reformed villains.
Discordant Harmony
Was my favorite episode for a while because this is probably Discord at his best and Fluttershy at her best and add them together plus an amazing moral and you have a recipe for a jaw-dropping good episode. Best episode of season 7
Secrets and Pies
Hello funny Pinkie Pie and her hunt to bring Rainbow to justice!
Surf and/or Turf
Twilight was incredible in this episode, and also this episode highlights that the CMC are still kids, but not in an annoying way.
What Lies Beneath
This was the best Student 6 episode, I really like how it was paced and how each solution was found.
Sounds of Silence
Stole the Best Episode title from Discordant Harmony when I saw it, it was a lovely break from the boring or bad episodes that I had watched of season 8 right before this one, had a great moral, gave an incredible new character and a cool new species that deserved more screen time but oh well, and also was just plain enjoyable. Best episode of season 8.
School Raze
Best season finale, because it had best villain, Cozy Glow, and the Student 6. The only thing going against it is that it had a snapshot redemption, but Cozy Glow, Tirek, and Cozy's awesome plan more than make up for that. Yes, Cozy has become my favorite villain of both MLP and EQG.
Sparkle's Seven
Another very well-paced episode, this one actually feels like it deserves to be the 200th episode and it's also a great season 9 episode on it's own.
The Point of No Return
A funny episode that surpassed my expectations and a good moral that a lot of kids need to be taught. Spike actually gets a role he deserves again!
The Last Crusade
An episode with a good moral, high stakes, good character work, and a balance of funny and serious moments. This episode deserved it’s season 9 placement and really should have been the CMC’s final episode, but oh well.
The Summer Sun Setback
An extremely entertaining episode where everypony was at their best at some point or another during the episode, it was hilarious, it’s setting up the finale even more, it made me like Twilight better, and Cozy Glow was just the best again.
The Big Mac Question
This was certainly an episode that surprised me. I was not expecting an episode like this to be simply as entertaining or as emotional at the end as it actually was, much like how the Summer Sun Setback blew me away with how good it was when I wasn't expecting much. And this is most definitely an episode that truly deserves it's season 9 spot, like The Last Crusade, Twilight's Seven, Frenemies, and The Summer Sun Setback.
Worst episode of MLP: Yakity-Sax
And here are some episodes that are really bad, but not Worst Episode:
The Best Night Ever
Underwhelming as a season finale, and the episode feels kind of longer than it needed to be. Worst episode of season 1.
A Friend in Deed
Pinkie acting awful because she can't take no for an answer. Worst episode of season 2.
A Canterlot Wedding
Chrysalis acted really stupid in this finale, and these episodes were the reason I disliked her for so long. This finale just isn't the most enjoyable for me. But it has cute changelings and an awesome fight scene, though.
Spike at Your Service
NOOOOOO! Spike, you got so cheated out of good episodes in season 3! This episode makes Spike look really bad, and I really don't like episodes that do that. Especially ones that are Spike-centered.
Just for Sidekicks
Like Spike at Your Service, this episode is also a Spike episode that really makes him look bad, only this one even more so because at least last time he was being hardworking and noble, now he's just being annoying. Worst episode of season 3.
Games Ponies Play
I don't really find this episode to be enjoyable or engaging.
Filli Vanilli
Pinkie Pie was pretty unlikable here, and I'm pretty sure Fluttershy was not this boring last time I checked.
Somepony to Watch Over Me
Applejack was really annoyingly overprotective, and Big Mac just disappeared out of the story. Applejack
For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils
It's basically a retread of Sisterhooves Social except the episode was executed a bit poorly.
The Cutie Map
The villain was really underwhealming and there is not really a question of if they're going to win since Starlight's town isn't an immidiat

The Last Problem
This would be meh as a regular episode, but I feel it kind of fails as the last episode ever of MLP, especially since the story is divided between two different things that don’t really mesh well together, since one was in the future and the other was in the past. Stick with one. Also the story in the past was pretty boring.
Will finish later.

Great to see some love for "Secrets and Pies" (which I thought was a hilarious episode)! And likewise "School Raze" (my favorite in season 8).
I don't consider "Yakity Sax" the worst in the series, but I still found it quite unremarkable. I'm one of the few who like "Somepony to Watch Over Me", though – I really enjoyed that episode in spite of Applejack's weird logic.

Cozy Glow theory!
Cozy was born into a family where the parents were both unicorns and she had older siblings that were also all unicorns and she was the only pegasi and also the youngest. Cozy's parents would take the children regularly on raids and other illegal stuff, using lies, cuteness, and magic to get what they wanted, and always thought it was so fun, raising all of their children to also think this stuff was fun. Since Cozy is a pegasus, nopony in her family thought she would be able to do raids and that other stuff nearly as well, so she always had the least important things to do, and sometimes got left behind entirely. Her siblings always had that sense of superiority over her, and Cozy got frustrated because she knew her siblings and her parents were having fun, and she wasn't able to go when she knew she could help so much. So, she hatched a plan. Her parents told her all about Twilight and her friends and how they defeated other villains, and Cozy knew that Ponyville would easily fall for her acts, especially since she didn't have magic. How was she a threat? Then, she could get close and figure out a way to have lots of fun while never being suspected. So, she snuck out and went to Ponyville. When she went to the School of Friendship, she realized she was going to need some help getting information, so she set up an act in the hope that somepony would feel sorry for the poor little filly crying all alone and come help her. The CMCs came and helped her, and she learned about the magic of friendship through them, and how powerful it was, and she decided, "Hey, I'm really good at tricking ponies into thinking I'm a sweet little filly, I can use that to get me lots of friends." She began to think about how fun it would be to have that much power, but she knew she was just a pegasus, and even if she had all the friends in Equestria, alicorns and unicorns would still physically be more powerful. So she stuck around in the School of Friendship, gaining friends, building trust with the professors and head mare and student counselor, and she constructed a plan. "Unicorns and alicorns are only powerful because of magic, which is what other creatures also use as power, and if I got rid of all the magic in Equestria, and I continued with my original plan, I'd be the most powerful being in Equestria! But, I don't know how to do that, and I doubt any of Twilight's books would have it, and even if they do, I can't waste time, and I can't ask Twilight or she'd get suspicious. I need somepony with experience in magic." She thought of Tirek first, and started sending him questions with letters, and she was very happy when he answered them, so she sent him some more,until she had all the info she needed. All she needed now was a place to put the artifacts where nopony but her would know. She saw that the Student 6 were close friends, and wondered if she could do something to make their friendship=power go away, so she decided to create a little tension among them. Then when they found the underground chamber, she knew that was the perfect place for her artifacts, but when the Young 6 mentioned telling the professors, Cozy needed to stop them or she'd need to find another spot and wait even longer for her plan, so she improvised a quick excuse for her to not want them to tell the professor, and the excuse worked. Now everything was ready.

@Latecomer: I should have been more clear, that was an add-on to the theory, not a response to your comment.
To actually respond to your comment, they wouldn't have known about her first plan, but when they saw her in the newspaper fighting with the other villains, her parents were pretty proud of her, and they're hatching a plan to get her out of the stone right now. . .
Her siblings were incredibly impressed, and would treat her like a hero and give her much more status than she had before.
Hm. Perhaps I should actually create a fan-fic about something in MLP after all.
-
Nopony else in Equestria seemed to know about that first thing she did, or the fact that she was a dangerous criminal. So most likely, nopony who knew what happened ever told anypony else about it.
About the mysterious force that stole their magic, her parents told Cozy's siblings to not pay any attention to it, but once Cozy is out of the stone they plan on asking her about it. They're not going to be too happy with the answer Cozy gives them.

Soon, soon I can change my avatar to the Cozy Glow image I want, but I'm going to wait another week to be on the safe side.

@Tacodidra: Cozy's my favorite villain too! She beat even the Sirens for that position, incredibly. Cozy Glow was a character I didn't pay attention to at first, just another young pony attending the School of Friendship, just another character who will appear once and maybe appear in background shots. Then the season finale happened for season 8, and I LOVED Cozy's execution SO MUCH!!! The concept of Chancellor Neighsay being paranoid about non-ponies using friendship to destroy Equestria, and then a PONY, a young, cute pink pony, using friendship to manipulate Equestria is pure gold, combined with the fact that Cozy Glow came the closest of almost any villain to actually succeeding because she had every base covered and had she drained the magic out of Equestria, what could the other ponies actually do to her once they got back to the school, combined with her being the only villain who's plan doesn't involve magic once she won, made her one of my favorites after watching the season 8 finale, and I was SOOOOOOOOOO excited to see her again in season 9, and she was nothing short of perfect. She's a really fun villain as well as executed very well, the only complaint I have with her is not even her fault, I don't like the fact that nopony, not Twilight who's reformed other villains with a talk and is the headmare of the school Cozy was going to, not Starlight who immediately thought of trying to reform the Pony of Shadows despite only knowing that he's trying to basically destroy Equestria about him and is supposed to be Cozy's STUDENT COUNSELOR, so she would have a reason to try, not Fluttershy who tried to reform Alizoltoh on the basis of "Nopony ever asked his side of the story" despite him already have attempted to kill everypony and now trying to kill her and her friend Rainbow Dash and her friend Daring Do right at that very moment, I just don't get why a filly without magic or influence over powerful figures anymore should be locked in the place ponies keep their worst monsters or pretty much be killed or driven even more insane than she is already while other villains with MAGIC and the power to actively turn evil again are just kept under barely any supervision and pretty much no consequences. I'm glad she wasn't reformed, I just think somepony should have at least tried at some point or at least not have defaulted to two of the worst punishments, like, ever, especially since Cozy likely would not have listened or cared. Tempest is the exception because other than fire blasts she can't really do much with her magic as far as I can tell, and it can't be that powerful magic if she can do anything else. Wow I typed way more than I intended. *Hugs*
