"Say Something Nice"

[imawesome 449]

Love: Carousel Boutique. Wish Rare's friends had a bigger role in this.

Hate: Triple Threat. FINALLY the show acknowledges how similar some of the characters are!

Love: "The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows". Giving away the twist at the beginning makes the ending feel a bit redundant.

But if we didn't know what Pinkie Pie was trying to keep a surprise, we likely wouldn't be able to understand why she's tempted to tell every time a temptation comes up.

Love: "Make New Friends But Keep Discord" - The opening scene kind of grated on my ears.

Hate: "Boast Busters" - The gag about the Ursa Major was very funny.

[Them's Seeing Ponies 282]

Love: Hurricane Fluttershy. A genuinely challenging one, but Snowflake Bulk Biceps' role was a little extraneous (I could also insert Spike here, but his part here was largely an external representation of Fluttershy's self-doubt and his presence and dialogue are at least logical).

Hate: Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?. The visuals and art direction in this episode are surprisingly appealing (particularly the final shot) and served as a satisfying final outing for Jayson Thiessen's full-time involvement in the show.

You're allowed to be wrong. /s

In all seriousness,

Love: "All Bottled Up". Trixie either makes or breaks the episode.

Hate: "One Bad Apple". Sweetie Belle's line "Why does life have to be so ironic?!"

[Them's Seeing Ponies 282]

I'm respectfully curious as to what you see in it. I found Magic Sheep one of the worst of the series due to its sloppy, disjointed plot hindered by a lack of focus (the episode attempts to push towards a self-harm metaphor, but is far too focused onto the M6's somewhat repetitive dreams and the fanservice of the final battle to do its own subject matter much justice, indicating that the episode's motivation lay more with including the metaphor merely to display surface-level 'maturity'  which I found more than a little egregious given the serious nature of such topics in real life), which leads to the episode coming off as a disjointed mess of wasted potential more akin to a fanfiction than an actual episode, although Hard to Say Anything remains my least favorite episode.

Unique visuals, great humor, exciting third act, and it has a very moving and emotional third act.

[TheAnimationFanatic 3,543]

Love: "Winter Wrap-Up" - Spike is kind of an ass towards Twilight.

Hate: "One Bad Apple" - The song was pretty catchy.

[Here No Longer 5,270]

Love: "Twilight's Kingdom" I'll admit, Tirek could have been a better villain.

 

Hate: "Magical Mystery Cure" It did advance the whole series' story arc quite a bit, even with everything wrong with it.

[Megas 27,064]

Love:The Beginning of the End - The episode's pacing is too fast

Hate: A Matter of Principals - Starlight "banishing" Discord was one of the most cathartic and satisfying moments in the entire show

Love: Gauntlet of Fire. Why were Rarity and Twilight in this again?

So that Rarity can make disguises out of the things around her and Twilight can gather information about Dragons since Ponies know little-to-nothing about Dragons at the time.

@Will Guide 

To benefit Spike, I mean. 

[TheAnimationFanatic 3,543]

Love: "The Beginning of the End" - The pacing in Part 1 is a bit too fast and Shining Armor & Cadence were underutilized. 

[bigbertha 410]

Love (Ponyville Confidential)- Cheerilee just disappears for most of the story. I get why it happens, and I can forgive it, but it's distracting

Hate (Magical Mystery Cure)- The style is absolutely fantastic. The visuals are the best of the first 3 seasons and Celestia's Ballad is one of the best scenes of the show

 

Love (Simple Ways)- Pinkie's few jokes fall flat

Hate (Somepony to Watch Over Me)- The cold open is cute and the Chimera fight is pretty well done

 

Love (Make New Friends But Keep Discord)- Fluttershy is slightly at fault for what Discord does and that's never brought up

Hate (Secrets and Pies)- The evil Dash that Pinkie makes up is kinda amusing

 

Love (A Canterlot Wedding)- Chrysalis's plan is really stupid

Hate (Parental Glidance)- The door with the angelic chorus gag is okay

 

Love (Party of One)- Some scenes drag and Pinkie forgetting her birthday is dumb

Hate (Baby Cakes)- The first is act is mildly amusing and the ending is sweet

 

Love (It's About Time)- The scene with Spike and Rainbow messing with Twilight when she tries to do nothing falls flat

Hate (A Matter of Principals)- A few of the "LOL RANDEM" gags are decent

 

 

[Emerald Heart 24,588]

Love: The Perfect Pear. Oml that episode is so adorable! Plus, the song was definitely my favorite song in the entire series.

Hate: Fame and Misfortune. That scene of Fluttershy glaring at Rarity was kinda funny....

[TheAnimationFanatic 3,543]

"Dragon Quest" is painfully terrible but the designs of the dragons are unique and creative.

[TheAnimationFanatic 3,543]

Hate: "2,4,6, Greeeat!" Is a dreadfully mediocre episode, but the ending scene with Princess Celestia is hilarious.

[Sparklefan1234 161,870]

Hate: "2, 4, 6 Great": I like the cheerleader ponies. 

Love:  "Going to Seed": I cannot stand Goldie Delicious. 

[TheAnimationFanatic 3,543]

Love: "Between Dark and Dawn." While funny, the ending is kind of abrupt.

[Sparklefan1234 161,870]

Love: "Friendship University": I don't like how Flim & Flam are *still* portrayed as con artists. 

[TheAnimationFanatic 3,543]

(Hate) 28 Pranks Later: The idea of the CMC being Girl Scouts is adorable.

(Love) The Times They Are A Changeling: The resolution is a bit rushed.

[Megas 27,064]

Hate: Season 9 - Sparkle’s Seven is really good 

Love: Sparkle’s Seven - The Zephyr parts can get creepy 

[TheAnimationFanatic 3,543]

(Love) The Ending of The End: Pacing in the first part is kind of break neck and uneven.

[Megalobronia 97]

Like: To Where And Back Again; The "subplot" of Starlight feeling better about interacting with the ponies at her former village could've been expanded upon.

Dislike: Honest Apple; Even though it was a bit out of place, Rarity KILLED IT with that guitar solo.
