I haven't really thought about it. The main six for the most part are all likable.

Kind of hard to pick a favorite when all of them are so likable.

Well, during my attempt to catch up before the finale (which I've totally failed at by the way), I saw Mysterious Mare Do Well. The lesson was handled very, poorly. Other than that the episode wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. But I do understand how it's got people (like Shadow) pissed.

That. Episode. Does. Not. Exist. ALRIGHT?!However, I know of two fanfics that would redeem it if it wasn't... it. Which it isn't since it doesn't exist. Keeping that in mind, I believe I read somewhere that despite their intentions, the other mane 5 should've been more obnoxious than Dashie to a point where she wants nothing to do with how it acts. Finally got my PC up and running again. Went on the "poniponiponi" TF2 server. Found MDW as part of the scenery, blasted the everloving muvafucked horse shite outta it. Thinking may include that thing as an individual character just so I can brutally murder it. Someone put it in the "Dethroning moment of suck" page. Seriously, wouldn't it be better to think "Hmm. She's letting the whole superhero thing go to her head a bit. Maybe we should talk to her." rather than "Our friend is getting a bit off track, let's make up a masked vigilante to steal her fame by working together to make it superior to her in every way despite our prior knowledge that said fame is literally the only thing keeping her from falling into depression/CMFS. Oh! Oh! THEN when she's still sore about it, let's secretly brag about how much better our character is RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER and laugh at her expense. And while we're at it, why not ATTEND THIS PARADE THEY'RE HOLDING FOR US, DESPITE HOW WE'RE TRYING TO SHOW HER HOW A TRUE HERO SHOULD ACT, WHICH WE THINK IS COMPLETELY AVOIDING THE SPOTLIGHT!!!!!111!1ONE" I am enraged. I need to read those fics now...

Enraged statement; Merriwether Williams. That's who wrote this steaming pile.
Let's take a look at other episodes she's written. Huh. Hearths Warming eve, Putting your Hoof down and Dragon Quest.
So out of four, three have Rainbow Dash bashing and one where she doesn't appear. Despite my enjoyment of Dragon Quest, it wasn't the best, I personally HATE two others and cannot be screwed to watch PYHD. It's a futile hope, but I'm silently begging for her to be kicked off the team.
I specifically remember raging about the Christmas special and Dashie's treatment at the beginning of DQ. Go fucking figure.

Heheh. Moment's passes. Always interesting to hear someone else's thoughts on an episode. Can delete our rant if ya want... hell, you're an admin so technically ya don't even have ta ask. Lemme see... Alright, the next two've written by Meghan McCarthy. She's got some solid episodes on her record so I have high hopes for 'em. (Lesson Zero, Hearts and Hooves Day, Sweet and Elite, Dragonshy and Party of one.) ....... Party of one? Hmm... Read on TVtropes that one of the animators said that something in the finale was the most disturbing thing he'd ever worked on, yet also heartwarming. Heh. Go figure mate.

Meh, no harm in leaving them. I'm sure Spectre will get a laugh.

Almost makes you think Merriwether has something against Rainbow Dash. At first It didn't hit me, but after looking at what other people posted and looking back into the episode it hit me like a car. The episode seemed to be one gigantic chew-toy fest for Dashie.
The other episodes she wrote weren't that bad, but I wasn't too fond of Flutterbitch coming back in Putting Your Hoof Down. Seriously, I'd probably shrink back if somebody talked to me like that, or worse, explode back.

Well regardless of the quality of Merriwether's episodes, we can ALL agree that the finale was totally AWESOME. Dash had it right: BEST. WEDDING. EVER.

That finale was more epic than I could have hoped for. I can see why one of the creators was disturbed, it got plain eerie in some parts.

Aaaaaand a shipping between Cadence and Chrysalis?..Alright. The fanbase has ascended to a new level of wierd. One of my favorite things to come out of the episode is This Day Aria. That is the best song to come out of the series, it's frickin' Dark Disney quality! My favorite part starting at 1:00. I love the voice they gave to Cadence and Chrysalis.

*Sighs* Go figure. I swear that didn't exist when I posted the link.
Might need to listen to that sometime. Not now 'course, It's still day and everyone's home.
