S6E21 Every Little Thing She Does
Nope, not today. I'll come back and edit this in in a few days when I can, but this is one I am definitely taking a rain check on watching.
Edit: So I've finally got around to getting this out of the way. Honestly I'm glad I did, and thank you for pushing me to get it over with, you know who you are. This probably isn't the worst episode in the series in terms of quality, but this one just really, really bothers me on a very personal level. Mind control is definitely one of those things that makes me wince, so seeing it applied to Rarity really affects me and makes me feel cruddy. It's one of those things which goes back to seeing the Mane 5 in a compromising position which makes me feel like they're not good enough compared to anyone else. As if they're weak. This isn't the first time this has happened in the show, no, but the fact that it was mind control of all things is what really hurt me. But the other thing that bothered me a lot was it made me feel as if Starlight wasn't really friends with them, especially the first time I saw. During S6, I didn't mind Starlight at first, (though I didn't know all that much about her because I was skipping so many episodes) but all I kept saying was that I hope there was one where she spent some time with the Mane 5 instead. Then this came up, and that's what stung hard for a bit. I was worried Starlight wasn't friends with Rarity. Fortunately I have gained a better perspective, one not glued to the show, and seeing it again at least left me with a feeling of knowing it wasn't done right, instead of fearing that it was right. The ending sequence of Starlight spending that time with everyone was nice though, and that picked up my feelings a bit.
At least I think I'll put this one on the list of episodes I'd rather not see again.
