The happiest point for me definitely would have been watching Rainbow Rocks in theaters. Not only do I love the movie, but just seeing it on the big screen surrounded by other fans made for an experience that just felt really good.

For "The Washouts" I would have gone with "Flight to the Finish" as a companion piece episode as they both focus on Scootaloo's inability to fly and how that affects her day to day life.

Granny Smith:Buckle down and do your work, or you'll end up at McDonald's Apple Bloom: We going to Mcdonald's if I don't do my work? Granny Smith: No

Cheerilee: Rainbow Dash could you read number 23 for the class? Rainbow Dash: No I can not. What up, I'm Rainbow Dash, I'm 19 and I never learned how to read.

I discovered the show in early 2012. I don't know how I came across it, but I decided to binge all the episodes that were released at the time, which was from episode all the way up to A Friend In Deed, given that I discovered the show between the break between that episode and Putting Your Hoof Down. It's hard to believe that I have been following FiM for 7 years now.

Let's see: I would like to see Scootaloo's aunts Holiday and Lofty Spike finally give up on his crush and Rarity and the two agree to stay friends Scorpan make an appearance Sunset Shimmer appearing in an episode A satisfactory send off to the main characters

To be honest I am not too upset that season 9 is the final season. 9 seasons and a movie is soo much better than what most cartoons even get. While I will be a little sad to something that I really enjoyed and had fun with come to an end, all good things must eventually come to an end, and I would rather see FiM go out nicely rather than see it become a shell of its former self like The Simpsons. Also I am generally curious to see what the next iteration in MLP will have in store, and hopefully I will be able to get into it just like I was able to get into FiM.

These look so good! I love how they were able to take the EQG designs, which have been criticized for looking samey and were able to make them full of personality. My favorite of which would have to be Rainbow Dash as I really liked the changes of her the most, that being giving her a short ponytail and having her wear a pair of googles like she was some kind of Digimon protagonist.

Sunset Shimmer: How do you know what's good for me?! Princess Celestia: That's my opinion!

Well I think something like what Gravity Falls did with Dipper's unrequited crush on Wendy, would be a good way to resolve Spike's crush on Rarity

It's not from FiM, but I did find it neat that the dress Rarity models in the song at the end of Rollercoaster of Friendship is the same dress that she wears in "The Other Side" music video.

While when it comes to both mediocre and bad episodes, I consider them to be episodes that I don't really ever want to see again. However the whys I don't want to see them again is where the differences becomes apparent. Take an episode like Bloom and Gloom for example, I consider it to be mediocre as it just feels like yet another Applebloom feeling insecure about her cutie mark situation episode, that drags on and on and gets pretty repetitive. I wouldn't want to watch the episode because it bores me, and I can't really think of anything all that interesting or remarkable that would come from it. For an episode I consider to be bad, I would use Newbie Dash as an example. While I don't passionately hate like others do, I can't say that I really like either. The reason I don't want to watch it is not because it is boring or unremarkable, but it is that what it does wrong, it does memorably wrong. The comedy in Newbie Dash falls pretty flat for me, and made me cringe throughout the episode. Especially the impressions scene. Basically what I am saying is that I consider a mediocre episode to be something forgettable/unremarkable/boring, but while it doesn't really do anything all that great, doesn't really do anything all that terrible. For a bad episode I would consider it to be an episode that does one major or multiple different things that I can't look past and make the over all viewing experience not very fun.

This was a really good short. I really enjoyed how needlessly thorough Applejack was being, especially when she lost count and said that she needed to cut down a new tree, that was really funny. Overall, the second season is off to a pretty good start if you ask me.

Throughout my time in the fandom, I mostly stayed in my own little corner and only really engaging with other fans on this website and not actually interacting with others through events such as conventions and the like. However the exception to this was when I saw Rainbow Rocks in theaters. Being the first and only real time I was able to interact with and talk to other fans about the show (before the movie started, thankfully everyone was nice and quiet and well behaved during it) IRL made for a unique experience that I look back on fondly.
