Watched the episodes. Thought they were alright. I felt the villain wasn't fleshed out well and the songs were phoned in but I still enjoyed it.

Yeah, I never liked the villan of this episode, thought his character could have been made better. But the door. Damn that was a great addition.

This was the exact same thing that ran through my mind; that was definitely well-handled. It would have been pretty neat to actually visualize what was going on in Spike's thoughts at that time, but it's really not relevant and would have drained time.

Have to agree with Chaz though -- they had a pretty elaborate backstory for the antagonist but it hardly was delved into when actually trying to take care of him. The concept of the first two episodes was there, it just felt a bit rushed.

Also, I wonder:

- I double-checked a previous episode just to make sure that this was in fact the case before: Princess Cadance has a crystal heart as her cutie mark...
- While she was the one to push the ponies of the Crystal Empire to use their powers for charging the Crystal Heart (and repel the King), I really wonder if there is a backstory between Cadance and the king... probably a bit too wishful in terms of thinking, but who knows.

Well, the concept of the episodes were focused on the Crystal Empire and the Crystal Heart than the villain entirely. I like the fact that King Sombra was a looming threat instead of a dynamic character. Sombra = Shadow, so that worked out.

I'm curious about the book Luna had at the end of the episode, hmm... That's something to think about.

Also, Pinkie rocked those 2 episodes. My favorite scene:

Especially when Fluttershy discovers costume.

Gotta say this was better than the previous two-part episode. Can't say I cared much for the crystal empire episodes.

Didn't really like this last episode. So far there's only one episode of this season that I've liked.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon: Oh yeah whatchu gonna do about it?
Bab Apple: Tell your moms

Okay... really? Really? Someone thought that was a good way to write an episode or that that sort of thing actually works IRL? (Hint. It doesn't. Or rather, in most cases it wouldn't work and would only make things worse.)

Seriously the whole "Just walk away from fights" or "Just tell an adult" "advice" is just stupid. Stupid stupid stupid! Kids, enjoy taking that advice and getting your asses kicked every day though.

So I just saw the new episode.
Don't click the spoiler button unless you have seen it too.
Link to S3E7: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpk3OI8Fees


Likes:
- Lightning Dust's character is awesome
- More details on the militaristic traits of the pegasi
- Rainbow Dash proves once again that she is now and forever best pony
- Pinkie's over-calculative mail theories

Dislikes:
- Spitfire's new VA sounds too childish for a Wonderbolt Commander
- Rainbow Dash repeating her "ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh" line from S1E16 was unnecessary, that should have been a one-time thing



Overall one of the best episodes I've seen in a while, which is a good thing because Season 3 has had a few flops.

It's been a hit and miss. I find myself really watching it for the background ponies. I'm really disappointed that there has STILL Been no derpy in season 3. But I'm glad they brought back ponies such as thunderlane, and cloudchaser and whatnot.

Episode wise, they seem to be focusing a bit more on songs, which I find to be successful. However the plot might suffer. They do need to create something a bit different because I have been noticing a pattern.

Also, I love how many times the Apple family's barn gets destroyed, and they need to rebuild it. There should be a counter for that.

Last episode I saw was Sleepless in Ponyville

Haven't seen an episode in two weeks...
Or maybe it just feels like it.

I don't know, I guess I like the show too much to show an active dislike for an episode. I've enjoyed all the episodes and the development of the characters and the plots. Can't wait for the remaining episodes! :P

Edit: 100th post! And on a pony post!
