Favorite Season 1 episode?

[DivineDefender1000 71,392]

The very first season of the show! What was your favorite episode of the beginning of this new series?

[Midnight Danny 9,027]

For me, 2 favorite episode from season 1: "Look before You Sleep" and "Sonic Rainboom"!

[Landi 602]

There were a lot of great episodes in season one. I'd say it's at least my third favorite if not my second. Some say it was to simple and basic, but I thought that the episodes were actually very well developed. A great way to start a great series.

It was close, but my favorite episode was "Sonic Rainboom". First off, it focuses on my second favorite character in the show: Rainbow Dash. Along with that, my favorite, Fluttershy, did have a decent role throughout it (Like her trying to cheer on Dash and her trying to act assertive around those bullies). This episode had some really great character development for RD. It showed that she has a softer side and that she has a fear of failure. It made me like her character even more than I had before (and I already liked her character before). Seeing  her actually pull off the Sonic Rainboom after freaking out the whole episode was real satisfying.

Along with all of that, this episode gave us some great world-building with the pegasi. It established that some pegasi actually live in the clouds, and it showed that they actually make the weather in a factory. Plus, Cloudsdale is still my favorite canon location we got in the show. The mix of Greek-Roman architecture with clouds is epic!

The runner up would be "Dragonshy". That episode is what made Fluttershy my favorite. She was so adorable, and seeing her really pull through in the end was great. It showed that while she can be shy and fearful, Fluttershy will be there for her friends.

My favorite Season one episode is "Look Before You Sleep" because it was the first episode in with a realistic premise. 

[Megas 27,948]

Best Night Ever. Not only my favorite Season finale still, it's also my favorite S1 episode

[Miss 6,237]

Friendship is Magic Part 2! 

The episode that got my hooked and filled my heart with joy. 

Still gets me every time I watch it! Even if Applejack saving Twilight is over dramatic XD XD

[AppleButt 8,680]

It’s a tie between “Winter Wrap Up” (Got me into the show in the first place) and “Sonic Rainboom”

[EpicEnergy 23,240]

My favorite was "Winter Wrap-Up", that episode was amazing! 

[Oleks 1,994]

Probably, Green Isn't Your Color. I really like Fluttershy and Pinkie in the episode, and it's generally funny, cute and enjoyable. Honorable mentions: Party of One and The Cutie Mark Chronicles.

[Mlppotterwhoovian 382]

Definitely the cutie mark choronicles, it gave us the memorable backstories and showed us rainbow dash’s First sonic rainbooom! Twilight sparkle did give us a cheesy lesson ending, obviously a reference to the previous generations lol.  Runners up: winter wrap up,Look before you sleep ,and friendship is magic part 2.

Mine is "Party of one", it is my favorite PP episode in the show overall.

[Adorable Lovestar 243]

Look Before You Sleep. It's also my second favorite episode in the show.

[Pastel Heart 6,470]

Look Before You Sleep! Fluttershy is great and the CMC shine!

[Misty Shadow 8,035]

Party of One. I don't find a lot of Season 1 to be too interesting despite its unforgettable nostalgia value, but our first introduction to a dark side of Pinkie Pie left a lasting impression on me, for sure.

That's Stare Master. 

[Thrond 3,265]

I'm partial to "The Best Night Ever." I think it really embodies everything that makes the show great, especially in this period. I feel like I've watched it a hundred times.
