Episode: Friendship is Magic (Part 1 & 2)
So, this is where the show began. Looking back at the episode, and knowing 7+ seasons of context about the chatacters, it makes you look at the episode differently. Rather then wondering how the characters will progress as the show goes on, it becomes more of a reflection of how they've progressed. Plus, I'm looking for more little details within the episode, rather then ignoring that sorta stuff like I do with most first watches.
Anyway, as for the episode itself, it's a fun adventure where we meet our favourite socially awkward unicorn (gosh, it feels weird typing that) and the 5 best friends she makes. I love how each character is introduced, but especially Pinkie. Just watching her antics makes me daww throughout the episode. I think the introductions are the best part, as the second half shows why these characters are important. Not to say I hate it though, I can't stop singing that Giggle at the Ghosties song, damn it! And that implication of Rarity slaying that sea creature gets me everytime! I feel overjoyed and happy when the mane 6 discover their element and defeat Nightmare Moon. Overall, it's a good introduction to the show. They introduced 6 great main characters well and it makes me wanna watch more old pony! Oh, and did I mention this was the episode where I first laid eyes on my waifu? Truly beautiful.
Verdict: 8 hooves up / 10
Afterthought: Watching this episode, and seeing Twilight completely ignore Moondancer's party, knowing the context of what happens, makes me sadder then it should. How dare you, Twilight!
