Just caught the finale now, thought it was pretty awesome. My one complaint, really, is that Starlight's backstory wasn't developed quite enough. Just the one scene of her past seemed light given the gravity of her actions. Maybe show a bit more why she was so devastated at Sunburst leaving. Beyond that, though, awesome. The past-fight scenes were really well-done, the alternate timeline stuff was awesome and unique for the show, and that ending shot was basically perfect. Even if in retrospect it kinda' reminds me of the final shot of The Shining. EDIT: Alyce: Old Media Enthusiast, I see great minds think alike

Notice Crystal Wars Maud's mane is similar to Limestone's.

I think the big problem for me is the same problem I had with Sunset Shimmer early on. They were so easy to forgive her, because "All she needed was friendship."
It's the same here for Starlight Glimmer. Even though she went back and attempted to alter a fixed point in time, which could never be changed due to the dire consequences of so. And she should've realized this when she went back to the future with Twilight and Spike. But she didn't, so to me, it's kinda hard to forgive somebody who wanted to undo reality because of a grudge, just because "She needed friendship."
Maybe I'm looking too much into this, but that's just me.

I know it had to be connected to the Cutie Marks, because that is the theme of the season. But I would have liked Starlight's backstory to be about her powerful her magic is, and she wasn't allowed to be near the other fillies because their parents were sacred of her powers. And that sets her on a downward spiral. That did play into the epiloque when Twiight explained how powerful she was, and the others they can't just leave her as she is.

Part of the end reminded me of Justice League: Starcrossed.

One thing I wanted to touch on, since my earlier post kinda' bare-bones due to being an immediate reaction, was how nifty the alternate timeline glimpses were.
Because man, they were nifty. The war against King Sombra was pretty grim as far as the show goes, and retroactively gives him a bit more presence as a villain, since we get a clear view of just what his return would've meant for characters and locations we know. The Chrysallis stuff was also really cool and made Zecora feel important for the first time in forever. The best moment for me though was Twilight and Spike getting to the Tirek-controlled timeline and just "nope"ing right the hell out of there.

Hmm, this could be an idea for a future episode where some other villain plants a seed of doubt into Starlight Glimmer about how they only keep her around because they are scared of her magic power and want to keep an eye on her.

So Starlight Glimmer is the Incredible Hulk?

Thoughts about Season 6:
-The major theme will be Starlight learning about friendship by accompanying a mane cast member in one episode each. -Mapisodes will be a thing again. -And the CMC will get their episodes helping others learn about their cutie marks.
