The season finale is Ingram's best work yet

Has anyone noticed how movie-like the score sounded for this episode? It really sounds like he had the music line up with each environment.

Ummm

 

Daniel Ingram didn't write anything for the episode. Will Anderson does the score

Oh ok. Then he did a wonderful job.

I haven't even seen the episode yet, but I still am of the opinion that Rainbow Rocks is his best work, and that it would take a lot to top that.

He did something? There was nobsong, and I thought that was what he did. I am not sure about the background muaic, I don't think he does that.

The soundtrack had some nice callbacks to "The Times are a Changeling," specifically, when everypony is freed from their imprisonment.

Anderson makes really solid background music. He deserves more praise than he gets.

 

And yes, I also think that the background music in the finale was great, especially in the second part. My favourite part was the juxtaposition of trombones and flutes when Chrysalis and Starlight argued about leadership.

This gave my hopes up. There wasn't even one sung song in the whole finale =/

Although I love a good song, honestly i am kind of glad they did not try to shoehorn one into it. Personally I think a song would have broken the flow of the episodes and just forced even more of an unnecessary rush to it all considering how rushed it felt at the end as is. 3 minutes is a lot of real estate for a 22 minute program trying to both tell a story and get to an acceptable conclusion.

That was one of the best and relief-filled moments I could've seen with seeing the Elements of Harmony and Royal Family finally free after being sealed in those cocoons for God knows how many hours, if not days, after being kidnapped by Chrysalis, and then when they confront her, ready to tear her apart for what she's put them through, it is freaking awesome to see.

One of my favourite episodes in the season, possibly my number one.
