Hey, if a conquering villainess of space can be redeemed and become a hero (admittedly after her brother kills his mentor) Starlight being redeemed is fine. *Sits back to see who picks up the reference first. Will Starlight Glimmer then replace one of the Elements of Harmony after one sacrificed herself trying to save Ponyville and passes on her Element power to her as a spirit? Yes. Either Pinkie Pie because color or Rarity because glasses.

This finale is only 4th best
1. Cadence and Shining Armour hook up 2. Fluttershy and Friends f*** up the Canterlot Party. 3. Some giant Apehorse looking guy destroys equestria. 4. Starlight Glimmer f***s up time. 5. Twilight becomes a Pigeon.

8. I liked it as an interesting, albeit somewhat confused "what if" concept. Most importantly it doesn't screw with established. canon.

BTW if you thought my being critical of the past episodes including the finale means that I am falling out of touch with pony... ...then you are mistaken. I love the ponies, I love Equestria, I love the wonderful things the show has given me (most of all you all here contributing to the pony threads). So no way am I leaving here!

So you gave a few low scores
Big whoop.
Don't think the thought ever came to anyone's mind.

This was a good finale, as good as last season's I wouldn't say that. Not as action packed. I loved we saw the what if the past villains won and we get an idea on what their end game was. I never thought Nightmare Moon would allow to have pony followers, I thought she would kill every pony and have her shadow creatures as her subject, I never thought the Changelings wanted to conquer Equestria, just eat off of it, Discord winning is pretty much what I imagined, and Flim and Flam taking over Equestria, who would have thought.
Anyway I do feel if Twilight did the thing that made sense from the beginning, this could have been settled in one episode. How many bad futures you have to go though before she just tells Starlight Glimmer your plan is hurting every pony and your dream world is not going to happen. Though she finally does it towards the end, but took her long enough.
And I guess it is true, Celestia shield the populists from knowing about the mane 6 saving Equestria all those times, or uses some memory manipulation, that is why our heroes don't get the world saving celebirty status like Spike does in the Crystal Empire, he is a god over there, and Twilight is only more recently famous because she is a princess, that is why Starlight Glimmer had no idea important the Mane 6 getting together is, though she was so mad it might not have stopped her anyway. But dam it, it is time to come clean on how awesome our heroes are.
I do like that Starlight Glimmer didn't see her friend again, that would have been too perfect, she needed to move on and make new friends. I am glad she made up with the village from the season opening, in such a short time she tied up all her redemption loose ends, while Sunset Shimmer has not to our knowledge seen Celestia and made up with her or any of her childhood peers. Speaking of Sunset, she has been replaced, Twilight has a new apprentice, though I think she graduated, and now human Twilight is now her apprentice.
BTW, I like to think the scene from when the Mane 6 have their meeting in Twilight's castle to talk about what to do with Starlight Glimmer, that happened after the ending of Friendship Games when Twilight finally answers Sunset's calls.
This could be a spinoff, Starlight finds 5 friends, we have new series with a new mane 6. At the very least, love to see a mane 6 b team, maybe a redemption squad like the Gargoyles spinoff that never was, and if that is the case I like to have Lightning Dust as a member of Starlight's team.
Anyway this was a great episode, it went by fast, though Twilight was a little slow on finding out the solution.

I admit I did like the solution that Twilight had to pursuade Starlight into stopping the time loop herself because Starlight was proving to be a magical match for Twilight.

Also good that, like "Twilight's Kingdom", they put emphasis on the fact that Twilight would be nothing without her friends and that they play an equal part in providing a bright future for Equestria.

So, important question we need to hash out an answer to. Which did Twilight do first, goof off with the girl who tried to kill her, break up her friendships, and induct her into a cult, or go help her friend dealing with a magic crisis?
