[Them's Seeing Ponies 282]

S1: The Best Night Ever (the best and most cohesive of the show's finales, with legions of great comedy ("you're...going...to LOVE MEEEE!!!!!") and a lightweight-yet-solid plot which serves as an excellent and touching reflection on the surprisingly consistent and well-paced character arcs of season 1)

S2: Lesson Zero (an obvious choice, but an astoundingly tightly-structure and detailed delve into the darker side of Twilight's character unsurpassed by the remainder of the show, complete with a uniquely (and compellingly) brutal satirical perspective on her more formulaic role in S1)

S3: Sleepless in Ponyville (a touching introspection on Scootaloo's previously overlooked characterization paired with some of the show's most poignant character interactions)

S4: Pinkie Pride (an immensely entertaining exploration of Pinkie's role in the show (and the interactions between her self-imposed and the Ponyville populace's external perceptions of said role, which yields a somewhat deeper conflict than many other Pinkie-focused episodes) aided by a fitting utilization of Weird Al)

S5: Slice of Life (pure, undiluted insanity injected directly into the veins, resulting in a refreshingly offbeat and irreverent episode in a season increasingly insistent on its own grandiosity)

S6: A Hearth's Warming Tail (the presentation of the (solid and Starlight-befitting) narrative is great stuff, particularly the unique, intricate visual aesthetics (as I would expect from one of Sibsy's final works on the show) and the infectious soundtrack, which leans into a wider spectrum of genres than the show typically engages with)

S7: The Perfect Pear (notable for its surprisingly subtle and detailed framing narrative and use of melodrama as an effective conveyor of wistful nostalgia as opposed to an emotionally exploitative utility)

S8: The Hearth's Warming Club (one of the few episodes to integrate more compelling quirks and details into the Student Six's characters, which largely pays off in a surprisingly heartfelt manner)

S9: Going to Seed (less genuinely is more in this context)

[fare67t 242]

(excuse me for picking possibly weird / hipster ones, I suck at deciding on just one thing)

S1 - Winter Wrap Up

S2 - A Canterlot Wedding (mainly part 2)

S3 - Sleepless in Ponyville OR Magical Mystery Cure

S4 - Twilight's Kingdom

S5 - Slice of Life

S5 ACTUALLY - The Mane Attraction OR The Cutie Re-Mark

S6 - The Times They Are A Changeling OR To Where and Back Again

S7 - A Royal Problem

S8 - Sounds of Silence (as much as I wanted to put Mean Six because it has Chryssy in it...too cringe at times)

S9 - Frenemies OR A Trivial Pursuit

Common theme: If it has Chrysalis in it, it gets a thumbs up from me x3
