The definitive ranking of all episodes....

[Harshreality 60]

Hey guys, I want this to be a major topic that we can update and tweak over time. I have analysed every episode in detail and have created a list that ranks each episode that has currently aired. In order to avoid too many conflicting opinions I have created "tiers" of episodes instead of a straight list, although it is ranked in order of my personal best. The list is:

 

94) Putting your hoof down - S2

93) Rainbow falls - S4

92) Appleloosa's most wanted - S5

91) Boast busters - S1

90) Spike at your service - S3

----------------------------------- Irredeemable

89) Owl's well that ends well - S1

88) Look before you sleep - S1

87) Somepony to watch over me - S4

86) Leap of faith - S4

85) Baby cakes - S2

84) The show stoppers - S1

83) Games ponies play - S3

82) A bird in the hoof - S1

81) Dragon quest - S2

80) One bad apple - S3

79) Bridle gossip - S1

78) The mysterious mare do well - S2

77) Power ponies - S4

76) The cutie pox - S2

75) Feeling pinkie keen - S1

74) Keep calm and flutter on - S3

73) Trade ya

---------------------------------- Bad and flawed

72) Simple ways

71) Ticket master

61) Just for sidekicks

60) Castle sweet castle

59) Three's a crowd

58) Filli Vanilli

57) It ain't easy being breezies

56) Friendship is magic

55) Over a barrel

---------------------------------------Just "okay"

54) The last roundup

53) Twilight time

52) Inspiration manifestation

51) Read it and weep

50) A dog and pony show

45) Tanks for the memories

44) Green isn't your colour

43) It's about time

42) The Equestria games

41) Winter wrap up

40) Hearths warming eve

39) Call of the cutie

38) Secret of my excess

37) Slice of life

36) The cutie map

35) For whom the sweetie bell toils

34) Wonderbolts academy

33) The crystal empire

32) Pinkie apple pie

--------------------------- Good but flawed

31) Ponyville confidential

30) Applebuck season

29) Daring don't

28) Bloom and gloom

27) Too many pinkie pies

26) Sisterhooves social

25) Swarm of the century

24) Make new friends but keep discord

23) The best night ever!

22) Rarity takes Manehattan

21) Dragonshy

20) Bats! - S4

19) Suited for success - S1

18) Cutie mark chronicles - S1

17) A Canterlot wedding - S2

16) Maud Pie - S4

15) The Lost treasure of Griffonstone - S5

14) Sweet and elite - S2

13) Lesson zero - S2

12) Sleepless in Ponyville - S3

11) Party of one - S1

10) Sonic rainboom - S1

9) Luna eclipsed - S2

8) Princess twilight sparkle - S4

----------------------- The best, near perfection

7) Flight to the finish - S4

6) Return of harmony - S2

5) Pinkie pride - S4

4) Magical mystery cure -S3

3) Twilight's kingdom - S4

2) Magic duel - S3

1) Hurricane fluttershy - S2

 

So what do you guys think? The episodes in the lowest tier are in there because:

1) Putting your hoof down completely bastardized fluttershy's character.

2) Rainbow falls did the same of Rainbow Dash, trying to hide it behind fan service.

3) AMW nuked half the lore behind cutie marks, single handedly making them confusing again, besides being one of the most boring episodes to date.

4) Boast busters flanderized the whole of the mane six

5) Spike at your service completely destroyed Spike's character.

 

Feel free to post your improvements below, and we can update this as time passes! I hope this can be a big thing...

This topic really doesn't leave much room for discussion and, as such, will be locked. While I do see what you are trying to do it doesn't leave much room if people end up preferring episode labeled as irredeemable. That said this would work as a blog post.

 

Thanks.
