mega thread Your Favorite Episode?

[Eggy0 103]

I really like Magical Mystery Cure, Crusaders of the Lost Mark and A Canterlot Wedding. I really like the plot in all three episodes, and the songs are beautiful. Especially This Day Aria, which I'm kinda obsessing over because of how powerful and dramatic it sounds.

[Sparklefan1234 170,640]

My favorite episodes are Magical Mystery Cure & Amending Fences. 

[Smitty1038 53]

Without question, my favorite episode of the entire series is "Crusaders of the Lost Mark." Just everything about this episode was great: The story, the characters, the songs (oh, God, the songs!), and the resolution at the end all made for one of the best episodes of season five, if not the whole series. Likewise, I really love "Suited for Success." Like "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" everything about this episode was great: The characters, the story, the songs, and the resolution all make for one of the best episodes of season one.

I think A Hearth's Warming Tail has become my favorite episode. 

 

Obviously because it's Christmas themed, but also because of the story and all the good songs. The Christmas theme was enough to make the episode feel cozy. For some reason seeing all the different outfits on the ponies was such a nice thing to see as well.

Applejack's and Pinkie's roles as the spirits were awesome too. Especially Pinkie's song was super catchy.

Hurricane Fluttershy is my favorite episode Hoofs down.

 

Ever since I first watched the episode in summer 2013 (I think) That episode left me speechless on how well the writing was and how it was put together. 

But on a very personal note. One of Rainbow Dash's stronger episodes and Fluttershy's strongest so far. Rainbow Dash is able to push ponies to the best of their talents. And for me being a long distance runner, Rainbow has pushed me to go even faster.

Like Discordian, I'mma cheat and say any premiere or finale with a major villain.

[Rawzy 1,302]

Twilight's kingdom and the Cutie Remark by far are the best 2 episodes.

[Chuckles4lyfe 441]

Rather than give you my all time favorite episode (since it is near impossible to decide at this point  :-P), i'll list my favorite episode from each season respectively:

• Season 1: Part of One 
• Season 2: Lesson Zero  (Hurrican Fluttershy and A Canterlot Wedding are close 2nd's though  ) 
• Season 3: Magical Mystery Cure 
• Season 4: Testing Testing 1,2,3 
• Season 5: Amending Fences 
• Season 6 (so far): The Saddle Row Review

Rarity Investigates is my Favorite Episode!

[Comix Strike 38]

I can't think of my absolute favorite, just because I keep thinking about almost every other episode at the same time 

So I'll just put down my top pick plus my favorites for each character and season (though most of them are pretty biased) 

 

*Favorite: Canterlot Wedding Parts 1 & 2

 

Twilight: Feeling Pinkie Keen/Lesson Zero

 

Rainbow Dash: Sonic Rainboom

 

Fluttershy: A Bird in the Hoof/Dragonshy

 

Pinkie Pie: Party of One

 

Applejack:  Applebuck Season 

 

Rarity: Sweet and Elite

 

Group: Hearth's Warming Eve (I remember being fuzzy after this one)

 

 

 

Season 1: Friendship is Magic/The Cutie Mark Chronicles

 

Season 2: Luna Eclipsed/The Return of Harmony/Read It And Weep

 

Season 3: Wonderbolts Academy

 

Season 4: Bats!/Trade Ya (also thought of Twilight's Kingdom part 2; still miss that library)

 

Season 5: Rarity Investigates

 

Season 6 (so far): The Fault in Our Cutie Marks

[Thrond 3,263]

If we're listing by season, my own favourites are as follows:

 

Season 1 - "The Best Night Ever"

Possibly the ideal MLP episode, and certainly the culmination of everything which made the first season great. It's exemplifies the strengths and weaknesses of each of the mane six in a delightfully quirky package, and puts a cap on the show's most fulfilling story arc: the growth of the mane six's friendships.

 

Season 2 - "Lesson Zero"

See my earlier post.

 

Season 3 - "Sleepless in Ponyville"

Deepens an often neglected character and provides both a fun, emotional plot and a strong moral. Simply a well-crafted episode.

 

Season 4 - "For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils"

What "Sleepless in Ponyville" does for Scootaloo, this does for Sweetie Belle. That is all.

 

Season 5 - "Rarity Investigates!"

The Rarity/Rainbow Dash dynamic is the best thing ever and I want way, way, WAY more of it. They have more in common than one might expect. One of the few times season 5 remembered to just be fun.

 

Season 6 - "A Hearth's Warming Tail"

Gorgeously massive in scale but grounded in depth and emotion. It cleverly adapts an old story not only to the show's universe, but also to serve a completely different purpose. Great music and powerful themes in service of not just an adaptation but a legitimate transformative work.

[Babyyoshi309 1,829]

No Second Prances was no doubt my favorite episode! The drama was so good! I legit was on the edge of my seat anticipating what was going to happen (which by the way, was the only time I have EVER done that, EVER)! 

[-Deleted- 25]

I often change what my favourite episodes are, but these are my favourite episodes of each season right now.

 

Season 1: Dragonshy

Season 2: Sweet and Elite

Season 3: Games Ponies Play

Season 4: For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils

Season 5: Amending Fences

Season 6: No Second Prances

[PuppyKit 12]

My favorite episode is actually "Slice of Life" because it was my first episode.

 

I got into the "Doctor Whooves and Assistant" audio series before I was willing to give the show a chance and when I heard they were going to make a Canon ep with Doctor Whooves I just had to check it out.

 

So I sucked up my last bit of reservations about the show and watched the ep. It instantly made me fall in love with the series. Which is why I often get confused when reviewers on YouTube will say it is one of the worst episodes to start someone on.

 

I loved all the Doctor who references and cheer each time I spot Doctor Whooves and Derpy in the background of the rest of the series.

 

I would not have watched the show if it wasn't for the fact The Doctor was a main character of "Slice of Life"

[Baykush 328]

My absolute favorite has to be Magical Mistery Cure. The feeling I get from watching that episode is really awesome, and it hasn't stopped being that way after 3 years. 

[stripper 252]

S1: Party Of 1

S2: The Return Of Harmony Part 2

S3: Sleepless In Ponyville

S4: Maud Pie

S5: Amending Fences

S6: No 2nd Prances

 

Of all of these, Maud Pie is my favorite. I watched it once a day for 3 days when I 1st saw it. I love how it paints such a good light for ultra introverted and emotionlessly expressive people(/ponies?). I'm kind of just like her, so I have a blatant bias

[ShadowPhoenix 153]

S1: Sonic Rainboom

S2: Hurricane Fluttershy

S3: Sleepless In Ponyville

S4: Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2

S5: Tanks For The Memories
 

For Season 6, until everything finishes airing, it's a toss-up between A Hearth's Warming Tail, The Saddle Row Review, Viva Las Pegasus and Every Little Thing She Does. I have a very good feeling about the upcoming Where The Apple Lies and the finale To Where And Back Again.

 

 

Edit: Oh snap, I realize that Rainbow Dash is a major player in 4/5 of these episodes I stated. Maybe it's just her.

 

S6: To Where And Back Again - Part 1

Edited October 16, 2016 by ShadowPhoenix

[Hierok 11,831]

My favorite episode is season 2 episode 1/2: The return of harmony, because I like Discord very much and it was just really fun to watch.

[Connie 320]

S1: The Cutie Mark Chronicles

S2: Hurricane Fluttershy

S3: Wonderbolts Academy

S4: Trade Ya!

S5: Amending Fences

S6: Gauntlet of Fire

[Knightgem 158]

There are so many! It's a toss up between 'look before you sleep' , 'Sisterhoove social' or  'A dog and pony show'. When a character, such as Rarity has that refined, posh, upperclass sort of feel and might seem dull and typical. It's that break of the mold while still holding that refined attitude that makes those episodes so special. It's the breaking of the "pretty posh pony princess" characteristics and sinking to common ground or indeed rising above it as she does ' A dog and pony show' that has me watching them over and over and over again.

[Drunkfrank 1,125]

2 parter: The Cutie Remark

Filler: Crusaders of the Lost Mark

[Oleks 1,993]

Amending Fences is definitely my favorite. Brilliant idea to bring back Twi’s old friends - they even used one the very first scenes of the series! And Moon Dancer, of course, – the most relatable character for me. Also, loved “riding the bomb” reference.
