While the ending was predictable, I'm always up for some Rarity melodrama and this episode didn't disappoint. Also "They're shopping without me. I never felt so betrayed in my life." Is definitely a series best worthy quote right there.

Sci Twi: So that's it. What are we some kinda Equestria Girls?

Spike is still a child and Rarity is a grown adult. It would be pretty creepy for them to get together. I highly doubt Hasbro would allow something like that to be portrayed in one of their cartoons made for children.

It's going to be weird hearing him actually talk, but I am interested in seeing what the show is going to do with him.

I have a gut feeling that this is going to be addressed in a series finale.

As someone who really enjoys the EQG series this was something that I was pretty looking forward to. Especially given what we knew about it from SDCC with the whole characters going to Equestria bit, which was definitely something to get excited for. That along with me loving Forgotten Friendship and finding Rollercoaster of Friendship to be pretty fun, made me curious to see how this 44 minute special would turn out. I find it funny how that the guy Rarity had a crush on looked exactly like a male version of Applejack. Like even the show pointed that out with the main 5 being surprised when the saw both at the same time. After Rollercoaster of Friendship, and now this, it can't just be a coincidence at this point. EQG sure is giving off some Rarijack vibes. There were some decent comedic moments here and there. I especially liked Twilight and Rainbow's exchange where she said that they were just ordinary girls who just so happened to save the world multiple times. I also liked Twilight's reaction to Sunset pushing Rainbow down the portal, and yeah her freak out over becoming a pony was pretty amusing. I also really got a kick out of the juxtaposition of the remain 5 dealing with the storm on the boat and Sunset, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash having fun in Equestria. I didn't expect them to go to Ponyville, so seeing that was a nice surprise, especially sense we don't really get to see Princess Twilight and Sunset Shimmer interact nearly enough in my opinon. I liked how the conflict ended with trying to get everyone out of the boat and to safety instead of battle some random villain, I though it was refreshing for a change, and I like how their abilities were still utilized in that scenario. There were some other decent action bits as well, Over all I enjoyed this special.

Spike: Gee ,it sure is boring around here. Twilight: My boy, this peace is what all true warriors strive for.

I don't really see why not. I mean its not like children won't be exposed to LGBT individuals later in life anyways. Plus other children's cartoons have included LGBT characters, so I don't see why MLP FiM shouldn't.

That's why I always kinda feel iffy whenever someone suggests that Spike and Rarity get together, and why I would rather just see Spike finally confess to Rarity, be gently lent down, and move on.

This was pretty cute. My favorite line had to be Fluttershy calling her experience in Drama Class dramatic for all the wrong reasons. I think we can all relate to when in school we didn't get classes with any of our friends, so seeing that play out here was something that I appreciated.

Not really. In fact I thought it was pretty funny.

I would have to say Sunset Shimmer. While unlike others I didn't dislike her initially, however I didn't really find her all that interesting in the first EQG movie. Rainbow Rocks really managed to surprise me with how much and how quickly it was able to make me emphasize with her. Not only that, but afterwards she managed to become one of my favorite MLP characters in general, which I find impressive given that I didn't care much for originally.

I would actually be down with this kind of episode being the series finale. In fact I have talked about this being the type of episode I would like to see the series go out on, even if it is more about the mane 6 and their careers in life lead them to move away from one another and not just only one of them moving away. I feel like this could teach a good lesson about how even if you and your friends diverge in life, that doesn't mean you aren't still friends nor was your friendship a waste of time.
