I think it's a case of how the first season is finally showing its weak spots after almost three years. Then again, most often the first season is the weakest structurally. Case in point, the first season of The Simpsons did not hold up very well almost as soon as after the 4th season of the show, when it was really rolling into its golden age.

That pic would be better if Twilight was the same size

Back during season 2, we rarely had anyone vote less than a 6. Now, it's no problem. I know that things have changed with hindsight. But we can't leave these episodes unrated forever, and I trust these guys and girls to be honest about their opinions. This is something we really should have done in the Season 1 to Season 2 break, but I think we were too busy running general polls on the show, plus I don't think we were planning to keep a scoreboard of them. I know. It's much easier to be judgmental after so much time has gone by. It's fine though, it's not there's much we can do about it anyway. You know, I have a feeling that the season 1 episodes are getting lower scores are because some of us aren't as lenient as we used to be when we started with season 2. I'm thinking that some season 2 episodes would score lower if we did a re-rank on them. I said a similar thing a few topics back, I believe. It was mostly due to where The Last Roundup sits, and I still think that its high ranking was affected by Derpy more than the rest of the episode (which... was an alright episode, but not Top Three worthy by any means). The Last Roundup is still one of my favorite episodes, regardless of whether or not Derpy was there. She was just the icing on the cake. I still would give it a 10. Mare Do Well on the other hand, right now I'd rank it much lower than the 6 I gave it.

Like Griffin the Brush Off, I really liked this episode at first but it doesn't hold up at all on repeat viewings. If anything it holds up even worse than the last one. Trixie does bump my score up though. Probably would've been a 5, but Trixie makes it just enoyable enough to be a six.

I'm still reviewing the S1 episodes as I did around the time I was watching them all in a row in the summer of 2011. So I most likely will be giving high scores than low ones as these polls go on. And I really do love Season 1. To me, its only slightly below S2.

I give Boast Busters a 6/10. Trixie wasn't really that bad. Really my dislike for this episode lies solely with Snips and Snails........

Gave it an 8.
Trixie is awesome. Also it has plenty of memorable moments. It only got 2 points off due to Snips and Snails. They freaking suck.

oh and there's a possibility Seth's love of Trixie may not be nearly as big as we thought; it turns out the reason he posts so much Trixie is that is all DHX supplies him with, so he just goes with it as a gimmick.

Greyscale time.
Tonight, he gets some ponies (or humanized ponies) in his mane.
*Puts Lyra and Bon Bon in there*
Enjoy!

Did they supply him with it because they knew she was his favorite pony, or did she become his favorite pony because that's all that they supplied him with? Scootaloo or egg here, folks.

Gnight Grey.
You know, when 7Nights (the guy who did my Luna with Tiny Celestia, Flower Girl and Celestia and Luna with tiny Twilight and Trixie pictures) opens up commissions again, I got a new on for him: Alicorn Twilight under the influence of the Alicorn Amulet.
Just to see how evil it could look.

Name's Dragon. Spike the Dragon. Princess Twilight: "Where the hell have you been?" Spike: "Enjoying death. Double-O 7 reporting for duty." P. Twilight: "You could've called." Spike: "Didn't you receive the postcard? I saw the news." P. Twilight: "Run out of gems where you were staying?" Spike. "What was it you said? Take the bloody shot!"
