Also, Pinkie struggling with the farm doesn't really make sense that much to me. She did grow up on a rock farm and has done the hard work required on a farm. All we've ever seen of Pinkie on the rock farm is her as a filly helping move along some pretty small rocks. And with her discovering her destiny wasn't to be a farmer I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that she'd be pretty terrible at it. Plus, given how young she was when this happened, she probably hadn't learned how to do everything yet.

Well all told this season was split down the middle between the episodes I liked and disliked at 6 to 6.
That's with Crystal Empire counted as one episode. If I count it separately, then the season veers into a negative 6 to 7 ratio of liked vs. disliked.
So yeah, least liked season far and away for me.

I'd have liked this season more if plots were evenly handled for all ponies, also no Rarity episode = instahatred from me

Yea, the no Rarity episode is unfortunate. We certainly could have done with 1 less Spike episode.

I'd say Spike At Your Service could have been axed for a Rarity episode instead

Also, I just thought of something, with how Twilight flew from the castle and then at the screen at the end of the episode, does she REALLY need flying lessons in season 4? She seems to be an adept enough flyer right now.

To be fair, the show's crew wanted it to be a two-parter but Hasbro nixed that Well then screw Hasbro. the whole deal was, according to Daniel Ingram's post, Hasbro dictated the plot, the number of songs and the whole convolutedness of it all (yeah I gave it a 10 but it was convoluted still) and the staff had to do their best to pull it off the best they could.

In that case.....I'm changing my score to...... *drumroll* 9. You might be going, "What the hell?! A 3 point increase?! Why?" Well because I clearly said what my problems were, and if it was Hasbro mandated, well I can't fault the team for it. I also never said the songs were bad, just that there were too many of them. And the story was probably as good as it would get due to Hasbro meddling. Still not a 10/10 from me, though. Still would've preferred Twilight becoming the new Starswirl instead of an Alicorn, as it would fit her character and character arc more, IMO.

Also, I have to say, I had the oddest dream right before I woke up and saw today's episode. In this dream the preview clips for the episode were on a loop and every so often a giant red "9/10" would suddenly appear. I kid you not. Pretty sure at the time I was having a nightmare because, you know, I was absolutely ready to hate this episode, so maybe I was subconsciously afraid of actually liking it. I at least like it for what it is, given Hasbro's level of meddling(word of advice, Hasbro, just let the show runners handle the show. You can tell them to include/push certain characters, but for the love of Celestia don't mandate the structure of entire episodes ever again). Still dislike Twilicorn though.
