Or as you mentioned earlier. Like a dad makes his son play sports.

I think it would be nice for him and Spike to build on their character. Rainbow has had lots of episodes to build hers. I think Rainbow is a little to hard for Spike if you ask me. 

She'd play too rough?

Kind of, yes. She will be pushing him to hard I think, just like with Fluttershy in Buckball Season.

Since S7 continues in a couple of weeks, what episodes are you excited for? Not looking forward to?

Awesome hopefully he contributes those great characterizations like he did in the Season 5 and 6 finales.

For once, someone else around here who doesn't mind Josh Haber's writing in The Cutie Re-Mark. I was hoping he would write this season's finale.

Wish granted!

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit less excited for the finale since I learned that the Lady Writers won't be writing it.

They will be supervising it. Haber doesn't have full control, much like in season 5 when he wrote one of the best finales yet. He didn't have free reign then and he doesn't now.

What episodes do you predict will be bad?

None. All those synopsis look interesting so far (more than latter half of S6) and we dont know who will write them beside the finale, it's hard to tell.

They are still story editors, dont worry. This finale is written by 2 writers, right? I heard the other one wrote Star Wars Rebels episodes, look promising.

Might as well bump the "Episodes your worried about" thread

Right now it's probably "It Isn't the Mane thing about you" as it could easily turn into a Rarity Torture porn

Spoiler

The Secrets and Pies sequel comic actually makes me less worried about the episode as far as RD is concerned, but I still feel it'll be another bad show for Pinkie

She also a major writer in Transformers Prime and Rescue Bots

I don't know. Which one do you think will be bad? 

[MAIKUN 262]

I was hoping for the CMC to give up on their Cutie Marks for good, if NOT, then in Season 8.

[CastletonSnob 3,074]

How would you rate the season so far?

I think it's been good, with great episodes like Perfect Pear, Discordant Harmony, Royal Problem, and A Flurry of Emotions. But, I also feel there have been some episodes that were just OK, like Honest Apple, Hard to Say Anything, Forever Filly, and Fluttershy Leans In. 

[Zachary 5,521]

@VG_Addict I would rate it 9/10, Only 2 bad Episodes but So far, It's great!

Edited July 25, 2017 by Zachary

[FlareGun45 2,221]

I really hope Uncommon Bond is a Spike episode in some way! He really needs that second episode, and since everyone (other than Discord) has two or more episodes, he needs his fair share! I don't really care what it's about or who he shares the episode with. Beggars can't be choosers!

Flawless (mostly) Episodes:

A Royal Problem

The Perfect Pear

Great Episodes:

Celestia Advice

All Bottled Up

A Flurry of Emotions

Rock Solid Friendship

Parental Gluidance

Discordant Harmony

Good Episodes:

Not Asking For Trouble

Hard to Say Anything

Forever Filly

Average Episodes:

Fluttershy Leans In

Mediocre Episodes:

Honest Apple

 

So... all in all this season has been amazing for the most part and is a contender for my favorite season at this rate. Can't wait to see where the rest of the episodes stack up.

 

[Sly 236]

Top 15 tier episodes:

Celestial Advice

Parental Glideance

A Royal Problem

Discordant Harmony

The Perfect Pear

Great Episodes:

All Bottled Up

A Flurry of Emotions

Rock Solid Friendship

Fluttershy Leans in

Forever Filly

Good Episodes:

Hard To Say Anything

Honest Apple

Decent episodes:

Not Asking For Trouble

 

Well... no anything lower than decent in my eyes so far. That's an academy record considering that i always found at the very least one episode meh or bad in past seasons in the first half. If the second half stays on these levels it will become my favorite season.

 

[Megas 27,575]

So far, only Honest Apple and Hard to Say Anything are the only weak episodes imo, and even then they're not like, "worst episodes ever" "bottom 10 tier" or anything, everything else has been ranging from good(Not Asking For Trouble) to fantastic(Perfect Pear), with tons of episodes were way better than anyone expected(Parental Glideance, A Royal Problem, Flurry of Emotions)

[CastletonSnob 3,074]

I don't think I've ever been as worried about an episode as Triple Threat.

I'm worried it'll be as bad as Princess Spike or Spike At Your Service.

Uhm, if I can have any word about this, I think people are worried too much for that episode: Spike's fears are completely justified, because Dragons and Changelings used to be enemies of Ponies as well, and as Ember and Thorax are the LORDS of the two tribes if they wouldn't get along, then they would start a war between each other and ponies would end involved in their crossfire. That's doesn't sound so unrealistical considering that 1)Ember and Thorax are pretty new in friendship; 2)Spike invited them the same day by mistake. I don't think there is something to be worried about it. Besides, I wouldn't mind to see Spike going in Lesson Zero mode.

But nobody thinks the episode will be good.

Normally I would say "prejudice anyone?" but... as someone who will unlikely watch anything coming after the S7 and the Movie (because the two men who will potentially be at the head of the writing of S8 and beyond) I don't think I'm the best person to say anything about it....
