To Where And Back Again
How the hell is this even near the top 10 of worst episodes? This was a million times better than the season 5 finale. It may not have been as good as Twilight's Kingdom or The Cutie Map, but it was thoroughly entertaining to watch throughout, despite a few flaws. I loved the way Starlight was handled in this finale, and her conflict here made sense. The lack of explanation for how everyone got captured and the changelings new looks were my only major complaints about this finale. Loved everything else. I'm also glad they didn't reform Chrysalis. Starlight haters, watch Starlight episodes with an open mind before writing them off next time. It helped me overcome my initial indifference towards Starlight going into season 6.

A Matter Of Principals
I don't get why people criticize Discord's portrayal when chaos is in his nature and he often can't help himself - unlike the cocky condescending jerk he was in What About Discord?...

Fluttershy Leans In
-
A Bird in the Hoof
Fluttershy was well portrayed in this episode. It's a much better episode for her than many later episodes such as Filli Vanilli, Trade Ya, and Scare Master.
I love how celestia was just trying to have fun and be a normal pony even though the cakes we're out sround her
Nobody ever talks about this episode. It's really funny!
-
Equestria Games
Spike's singing of the Cloudsdale anthem is among the best instances of cringe comedy that I have ever seen. The episode as a whole is very good showing of Spike's character.
I love how it shows a pony version of the Olympic games. Truly brilliant episode, deserves more praise.
Just because the episode was focused on Spike doesn't actually make it bad.

Appleoosa's Most Wanted
This Is Probably One Of The Most Divisive Episodes Of The Whole Show While It Isn't Like Putting Your Hoof Down Where People Either Love It, Like It, Find It Okay Or The Most Commune Thought The Worst Episode Of The Whole Show. But With Appaloosa's Most Wanted I Seem To Be The Only One Who Really Loves This Episode Sear The Grown Up's Are Morns But It Isn't As Aggravating Rainbow Dash's Behaviour In 28 Pranks Later Or As Petty As The Cart Before The Ponies. But Other Then That It's Got A Really Soled Plot Some Likeable Main Characters And A Very Good Moral It Has A Lot More Good To Offer Then Princess Spike Or What About Disocord

The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows
This is actually one of Pinkie's best episodes.

Hard to Say Anything
-
Made in Manehattan
It's pretty boring, but it was nice to see a Rarity and Applejack episode where they don't spend the entire 22 minutes arguing.
This episode has one of the best morals in the show.
-
No Second Prances
This episode made up for all the idiocy of "Boast Busters". Love the connection (and bonding) between Starlight and Trixie. Those two becoming friends is very believable, not something pulled out of someone's butt just for convenience's sake. Later episodes are proof of that. Twilight may be out of character, but maybe not. She's may be overly protective. She sees it as her duty to teach Starlight the ways of friendship. She's simply afraid that Trixie might lead Starlight down the wrong path.
A pretty good episode if you can forgive how out of character Twilight was.

Read It And Weep
Good story, great humor, and rainbow learning to like reading is nice character growth for her.
-
The Times They Are a Changeling
Nice thing that they added the first voice of a changeling (or Queen Chrysalis). And also they showed the changeling nest for the first time in the show (first appearance in the comics). I didn't know why this belonged to the list
Oh come on! Spike sang at this episode!
-
A Hearth's Warming Tail
A superior Christmas episode compared to season two's Hearth Warmings eve episode. Better story, great humor, and a very cool adaptation of a Christmas Carol.
Yes, I know! It's another interpretation of "A Christmas Carol", but I loved this one. The songs here are fantastic. A must watch during the holidays.
Best Season Six episode EVER (party cannon)!

Celestial Advice
This episode is already underrated. I'm starting to trust IMDb less and less everyday. This episode gave Celestia the character development she has desperately needed.
This is coming out with season 7,and I KNOW it will be underrated.
-
Boast Busters
It did introduce Trixie (and I'm really glad for that), but it handled her and the entire showpony attitude completely wrong. It also gives a bad taste when our heroines step on the stage to 1up Trixie. It just feels wrong and could have (should have) been handled a lot better. But yes, seeing how Trixie is good now and in a lot of awesome episodes of Seasons 6 and 7, I think Boast Busters deserved a least a little bit of credit.
I don't get why so many people hate this episode. It did introduce Trixie after all.
-
All Bottled Up
The guys on IMDb hate it for some reason, but whatever. This episode was fun to watch. Starlight and Trixie together just might be one of the best duos in the entire show.
-
Magical Mystery Cure
This episode is the best of the season. I didn't hate that Twilight became a princess, in fact, I think it shows how much she has grown as a character. I liked most of the songs, specially "A True, True friend" and "I've got to find a way." I even cried a bit at the end :')
This is one of the best episodes of the entire series. People overreacted to this episode and are often way too harsh on it.
People went wwway to overboard on hating on this episode I look back and am so happy Twily became a alicorn princess

It Ain't Easy Being Breezies
This episode is by far one of the best of the whole series and yet it's over looken almost entirely. Why is it so great you ask? Because it teaches an important lesson: don't be too kind. Fluttershy's element of kindness always makes a character who is very open to helping others and yet here constantly pampering the breezies puts them in more danger than it does good. A lot of "kid's shows" teach kids to be nice, overly nice, this is where the fine line of being a push over and being a true helper, a balance that Fluttershy has struggled withsince day one. In this episode Fluttershy finally makes good on her development that's not played up for laughs. Fluttershy being firm with the breezies is not only a huge step forward in her development (given that true character growth didn't appear until season 4 for fluttershy) but it also shows that doing the truthfully kind thing for someone is neither easy or pretty sometimes. Fluttershy standing here grown and getting the breezies to leave is actually the kinder couse given that it gives the breezies a chance to get to their homelands before it's to late. I don't even get me started on the dynamic of Seabreeze...
For a mature moral and great developnent I give this episode 5 stars.

Brotherhooves Social
Some people take things way too seriously. I don't think Orchard Blossom was intended to be a hateful jab at transgender people.
I hate this episode! And to person who just commented everybody seems to have like it. I don't!
Why do some people dislike this episode? It had one of the best endings in the whole series!
-
Crystal Empire Parts 1 and 2
I thought this episode was awesome! It's also one of the darker episodes of the series. Spike also has a really awesome moment towards the end of the episode.
-
Spike at Your Service
Spike is a kid. When kids get overly excited about something they get clumsy and make a lot of mistakes. I don't know how you people haven't even considered the reasons behind things. You do for many other episodes as well, but Spike at Your Service takes the cake.
Yes, Spike acted like an idiot in this episode, but everyone else was in character, and it was very funny.
