Favorite Spike Episode?


Moved to Elsewhere

Recommended Posts

All right, we all know how most Spike episodes are generally not very loved in the fandom so what is your favorite of the bunch since it feels like everyone at least likes one Spike episode of the bunch.

 

One of my favorites is Power Ponies. Just a perfect example of the writers having fun.

 

Another is Equestria Games. Yes, I get that they didn't show the games. But I'm looking at the episode for what it is and not what it could've been which I feel most people have done. Also, I'm surprised it's not that liked. Spike is treated with so much respect and isn't that what a lot of people wanted? I wound't mind if that was pretty much the only criticism I've seen so far. 

 

So, discuss away!

Mine is Just for Sidekicks it's a really good Spike episode while it's also a good CMC episode(basically the only good episode from season 3)

I never figured why people hated Spike episodes so much, they're no where near as bad as some people make them sound.

 

Personally his two S3 episodes, Spike at your Service and Just for Sidekicks were my favorites

Yeah, I'm one of those that never cared for Spike episode.

 

One very good exception to that is Power Ponies. For one it rarely felt awkward and it was just mindless FUN!

 

Though, I must say that the Forever Friends comic with Celestia & Spike is the best Spike-centered story out of all of FiM, IMO.

Power ponies. It did somewhat address the fact that spike is treated like a tag-a-long rather than a main character, and it was just a super fun episode.

This is still one of the best episodes of Season 2. Fantastic pacing, solid Spike characterization to the point where it set foundations for future episodes, an emotional ending, and all around good fun. It is sorely underdiscussed these days, but dang, this one was a revelation when it was released. 

 

I love almost all of Spike's episodes, but how could I pick any other?

Power Ponies, Owl's Well that Ends Well, and Dragon Quest are tied for my favorite Spike episodes, followed by Secret of My Excess :D After that, they're usually from the "ok" to "meh" range, except for "Spike at Your Service" and "Just for Sidekicks," which I dislike :D

...None of them are in the "ok" to "meh" range by your estimation.  :lol:

I think Dragon Quest, Secret of my Excess and Equestria Games are the best Spike episodes out there. Dragon Quest because it showed Spike's desire to know where he came from, and how it conflicted with who he thought he was. Secret of my Excess because he gets a shred of a return of affection from Rarity (Awwwwww...). Equestria Games because it finally showed Spike as having a shred of respect from a large number of ponies who viewed him as an important hero, even if he didn't feel like it.

 

I agree however, that after the buildup to the event of the Equestria Games in the series, I was disappointed more time was not devoted to the actual event in the episode. It should perhaps have been a two-parter, one for Spike's story and one more focusing on the games themselves.

Just For Sidekicks is not only my favorite Spike episode, but also my favorite episode of the show. I just love the episode's comedy and pacing. Everything Spike did was relatable and humorous

This is still one of the best episodes of Season 2. 

 

For some reason I forgot about how great this episode was. I need to watch it again. I loved it too. Spike is just a really funny guy when they write him properly. And we get to see adult Spike and the Wonderbolts humorously failing hard at trying to stop him  :lol:

Power Ponies and Equestria Games.

 

I'm not a fan of Spike, I generally don't like the episodes about him..., but the season 4 had some good ones :) I hope it will also be the season 5's case.

Spike at your service. I'll never understand all the hate this episode gets XD But, thankfully, I don't need to. I just liked it. But Power Ponies is very close, I can't really decide between them. They both were quite good and solid episodes.

The Equestria Games is my favorite Spike episode. Good conflict and I liked Spike getting to be the hero again :D

 

My favorite Spike moments though are probably in lesson zero and Equestria Girls. I like it when he is more the voice of reason and support and not portrayed as immature or stupid
