Finally saw the episode. I'm of two minds. I look at this episode both as the finale of the third season of at least a four season show, and as the series finale it was meant to be. As just the season 3 finale I didn't really like it.
Gave it a 6/10.
As I dreaded both storylines in the episode were rushed. There were too many songs(and I like the songs in this show, so this is just a case of too much of a good thing). And of course as I previously said, my mandatory 1 point deduction on all Alicorn Twilight episodes.
Now as the series finale it was supposed to be? 10/10.
If it was the finale of the entire series, I would've loved it. It was great as an end to the entire thing. However, because of season 4, I can't just look at it as what it was supposed to be, and I have to look at it as what it now currently is, and in that regard, it is a poor regular season finale. So 6/10.

I don't think that it helped that we dogpiled RC If he really is walking away from the threads, he deserves a chance to go out on something better than building up heat with Tay over a difference of opinion.

I'm essentially putting aside my concerns about Twilight until we get into season 4 - what I feel could go wrong (The Gokou Effect, the Voltron effect) won't happen til we get there. If it doesn't happen, I'll feel better. But right now, the show has set itself up to be "Twilight and her 5 best friends" with her being a deus ex magica for the show. I want to be wrong about this, and the writers do find good ways to allay our fears.

Alternate covers for the Rainbow Dash Micro-Series So, Twilight has Alice in Wonderland, while Rainbow Dash has Peter Pan and Jack and the Beanstalk. Should be neat to see the next ones.

I want to be wrong about this, and the writers do find good ways to allay our fears. The way I see it, Twilight was already a really powerful mage even as just a unicorn. Outside of getting wings and a fancy title, she's still the same Twilight. I don't think she's going to become Celestia-tier overnight or anything. I trust the writers enough to handle her responsibly and not fall into those cliche traps. They've earned that trust from me and it's theirs to lose.

I usually don't listen to commentary tracks on DVD's, but it's worth it for the Clerks TAS. It's more or less Kevin Smith just talking about how much ABC f***ed the show over. ABC only showed the 2nd and 4th episodes (out of order!) on live TV. It wasn't until the DVD came out (and Adult Swim's picking up the show) that the other episodes were seen. And as a connection to Ponies, Tara Strong voiced the Giggling Girls.

The fear of completely diminishing the roles of the others in the Mane 6 to nothing more than alicorn Twilight cheerleaders.

You know.....this episode's first plot could've entirely worked without Twilight becoming an Alicorn, and instead becomes the new Starswirl. Remember, Celestia took her on as her student because of her magical potential, and her final test was to SURPASS Starswirl by finishing what he couldn't. That to me more lines up with her being the new all powerful, but still not an Alicorn, mage of Equestria. Hell this could've even had her talking to an apparition of Starswirl in that Twilight Zone she was transported to. Of course the Celestia song and talk would still happen.
