S6E26 To Where and Back Again Part 2

Well, I'd be lying if I said this didn't bother me a little on some level. The whole damsel in distress thing. But I guess I'm not bothered by it as much so to say, more so just numb and used to it, and I carry on. That's all. And I just hope this doesn't happen again, because needless to say, sometimes this stuff really does make me feel like Rarity isn't important to the writers. Anyway, on to the episode itself, I do think the group dynamic is good. Probably one of the better Discord dynamics. I feel like this also has Haber's signature problem of being a bit rushed, as I felt like the initial redemption of all the changelings was a bit jarring since it did seem to spring from nowhere despite what happened with Thorax, but I at least felt things eased into it a bit with S7 so that was good. And I can just say good riddance to Queen Chrysalis, but that's probably unlikely.

So now I sit here at the end of S6, and I definitely have to say, I think this season was a bit disappointing in a lot of areas. There were good episodes for sure, No Second Prances, Hearthswarming, but I don't feel a lot really stood out to me aside from what I was disappointed with. Do I think this is proof that the show is dying or something? No. But I do think this can directly be attributed to the movie, and I think a lot of the talent was working harder on that, and it shows with S6 in a few areas, especially with the latter half. So if anything, I think that's what happened. My hope for S7? I hope the finale allows the M5 to take action for once. I do still really feel like they haven't been done well, but it's really just forgotten about, and seeing this one did remind me a bit of that.
