Good Spike episodes.

I actually like all the Spike episodes so far except for Princess Spike.

 

 

^Princess Spike is one of the only Spike episodes I actually like xD

 

Others that come to mind that I think are good:

-Owl's Well That Ends Well

-Just For Sidekicks

-The Equestria Games

 

aaaaand I think that's it o,o

Spike really needs more decent episodes....

How could anyone forget Secret Of My Excess and Gauntlet Of Fire?

 

^Two of the weakest Spike episodes imho.

 

Obviously, The Times they are a Changling and Spike at your Service are both infinitely worse, but still :o

I can't believe you doubt the writers' judgement on making good Spike episodes again! XD Season 6 PROVES that they can, and will make some good episodes for him! It looks like they know what to do with him, and I'm confident we're going to be getting at least three very good episodes starring Spike this season, just like last season!

 

That said though, the episodes he DOESN'T star in, he may just resort to being that snarky and funny dragon he's always been (which is fine as long as it doesn't turn into Spikeabuse), but in episodes he DOES, he should be just fine! ;) He should be at his best!

Quite the opposite, as a matter of fact.

In all seriousness, while I love the message behind The Times they are a Changling, I thought it was the worst execution of any episode I have ever seen. It literally felt like it was written for 5 year olds; something I would find on Nick Jr. Hell, Sofia the First has more respect for the audience than The Times they are a Changling.

 

And that song... Oh God, that song... *shudders* e.e

The Times are a Changeling, don't you know?  :mustache:

 

Seriously, if you watched Season 6, you would know there are definitely good Spike episodes out there.

Season six had two Spike episodes in Gauntlet and Times, and they're easily the best ones to date. While season six had some really questionable and poor execution, Spike had his best season. Aside from one episode (Newbie Dash), he was treated with the most respect out of anyone.

 

Overall, there are four, the others being Inspiration Manifestation and Secret of My Excess.

definitely, with "times they are a changeling" being my favorite of the two. 

They both felt very spike-y without getting annoying or cringe-y

Good Spike episodes existed before S6. What S6 did is releasing Spike from Butt Monkey status. The only thing bother me about Thorax ep is the execution in the end, that kinda ruined the episode a little bit.

All of Spike's Season 6 episodes, Dragon Quest, Secret of My Excess, and Just For Sidekicks are my favorites. I've never been a fan of some other ones like Princess Spike, Equestria Games, and Spike At Your Service.

How could anyone forget Secret Of My Excess and Gauntlet Of Fire?

I didn't. SoME has one of my favorite scenes in the entire show, and possibly the most clever narrative trick the show has used.

 

Inspiration Manifestation is also one I like, but they could have kept the owl out of it. Also, Power Ponies was fun too.

Can't find anything to disagree with here. Before Season 6, and outside those two episodes you mentioned, Spike seemed to be best used as in small support moments. I liked him better that way. Now I am looking​ forward to a Spike episode.

With S6 done, have there been any good Spike episodes?

Well, I find most Spike episodes average on..... average  :-P . I think Princess Spike is among the lowest on my list, but Spike at your Service is BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD :dry:. Dragon Quest, Times are a Changeling, and the one with Ember are definitely my top Spike eps  :orly:

You guys are talking about bad Spike episodes, when Rainbow's been the victim of bad episodes for a majority of season 6, and a majority of the past too! Same with AJ!

We talk about bad Spike episodes because until around Amending Fences, he was treated very horribly by the showrunners. Season 6 doesn't change what happened to him up to AF, but DHX apparently wisened up. Whether it'll continue next season and beyond remains to be determined.

 

Aside from Somepony to Watch Over Me, AJ episodes are usually okay at least.

 

Can't argue with Rainbow Dash, however.

I guess I'm one of those weird people who never really had a problem with most Spike episodes. Apart from Princess Spike and Owl's Well I never had a problem with most of his episodes

AJ and RD up until S6 were fine apart from a couple of outliers like Rainbow Falls and Somepony to Watch Over Me. S6 was still really bad for them, as AJ was having a really bad season with her either being an idiot in almost any episodes she had a major role in, while episodes like Newbie Dash and 28 Pranks Later felt like the writers were outright laughing at/punishing people for liking RD

One of my favourite episodes is "The Equestria Games" because of what Spike has to deal with not to mention we get to see the games themselves--or as much as was alotted given the episode's focus. Oh, and who could forget Spike's attempt at singing Cloudsdale's national anthem.
