S5E3 Castle Sweet Castle

This was a very much needed episode. Honestly something like this was extremely necessary after the S4 premier, but instead we got that garbage episode of Castle-Mania. This episode does well of establishing events from the previous finale, without adding high stakes. It addresses what happened before, and keeps it light hearted. And while I really hate how they blew up the tree library, I feel like how they handled this episode with having Twilight move into her new home, and the way her friends handled it, especially what they did for her with tree, and their memories. That was incredibly sweet. I think Meghan McCarthy very carelessly blew up the tree with as much thought as Michael Bay, I feel like what happened here at least made up a little for it, and didn't make the blow as hard. If that makes sense. And how the Mane 5 contribute all this effort into making Twi's castle a home, by contributing their own characteristics to it (being spearheaded by Rari made it an extra step enjoyable) I thought was incredibly wonderful to watch. All in all this was a wonderful episode, and ranked pretty high up there for me.
