Not including Season 9 for now.

Let's change that!

Season 9:

• Best: The Big Mac Question: Take The Saddle Row Review, refine it, add a lot of fantastic humor, conclude several arcs in varying scale in one go without cramming in too much info, add some of the most heartwarming moments of the entire series, and you got one wonderful, tightly-written, balanced episode.
• Worst: 2, 4, 6, Greaaat: Easily the worst "cap" episode. Rainbow Dash was forced to learn a lesson she shouldn't have had to learn, yet when Twilight instructed her, she turned into AJ from Honest Apple. Add one of Twilight's most out-of-character appearances of the whole show, and you end up with this train wreck.
