An episode a day

S4E24 Equestria Games


That wasn't the worst episode, but it was very, very far from good. It felt like it was honestly a waste of a concept. I mean, not that I feel as if Equestria Games was something I was particularly excited for, but considering it was built up since the end of S3, it felt like such a waste to make most of it appear off screen and be about Spike, and pretty much halfway through the episode, it's just "Oh hey, the games are over." Seriously, imagine if Best Night Ever was about Spike's experience at Pony Joe's and then the Mane 6 come in. That would have been horrible, and that's nearly what this was. It was wasted on really uninteresting viewing of watching Spike first go through something that many people might experience, but then just kind of ruin that by making a fool of himself singing the anthem. And on a personal note, not necessarily a complaint, the idea of a spell that will disable unicorn's magic does make me a tad uncomfortable. And then there was the whole bit of Twi being seperated from the Mane 6, not being able to sit with them again making her seem like on a whole other level. I guess the episode had a decent message but it was a waste in every other field.

Oh boy, tomorrow is part 1 of Twilight's Kingdom.

At least Cutie Map is soon.
