OK, I am slowly coming around to the idea of different timelines because...it might actually be possible in some timelines that Celestia was able to defeat Nightmare Moon without the Mane Six.

I do wonder if Starlight's childhood friend will show up next season.

My prediction: Sunburst will be the main villain of the Season 6 finale, putting Starlight's loyalty on the line.

Flash Sentry:" Alright! Croatia consists of hard-working dudes just like the Equestrian guard! If they manage to win this thing all the way, I will ask Princess Twilight if she'd like to go out with me. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) " Shining Armor:" Hmm, a country that also shares with the Crystal Empire a monarchial structure. I bet I can get along with the Swedish team just fine and my Captain-level training regimen will ensure our victory!"

Something about the mapisode criticism I have seen here...
What interests me is that...if there had been more mapisodes this season, would there not have been the complaint that now the show would be too formulaic? Like "OMG half of the episodes are now like map call, mane six members solve it, rinse lather repeat"?

Gave the finale a 6.
Great idea with tons of possibilities and a peek at alternate timelines, but the finish fell completely flat.
Starlight Glimmer's "backstory" was flimsy at best and an afterthought at worst. Losing one good friend isn't strong enough, IMO, for her to adopt her vision with Equal Town. I might have bought it if she couldn't figure out her cutie mark or if she had never gotten hers in the first place. SOMETHING else had to happen between when Sunburst left to.the founding of Equal Town to elicit that level of malice. I get why she was furious with Twilight for ruining her dystopia, but the fact that she also manipulated a Star Swirl spell with very little effort should be scarier than any of the futures created. Starlight is WAY too easily forgiven and WAY too apologetic in the end to maintain what little suspension of disbelief I had left.
Sorry, but only the season 3 finale was worse.

Yeah, Starlight's backstory even after a day still manages to be the weakest part of the episode.
Too bad her parents never taught her the wonderful inventions known as "letter".

*hugs Onee-sama* I am sure you could.
Two things I liked about Starlight Glimmer this time around though:
1. Her fight with Twilight I found better than the Twirek fight. I like that she was such an adapt magic user, continuosly using a levitation spell while doing attacks at the same time. Was nice.
2. Also liked her intelligence (well, ignoring her back story) of always changing her game plan whenever Twilight returned from another future. Basically "When you have the answers, I change the questions!". This could have really gone forever until Twilight was finally fed up.

You are the second one I have read that from today.
Always thought she had a long mane bound into a ponytail and bangs in front.
What is so strange about it?

Starlight...might have actually been the best villain as far as intelligence (well, for the most part that is) is concerned evidenced by her game.
Though I wonder if she will become a reverse Sunset Shimmer of sort...
Sunset Shimmer: Bland and boring one-dimensional villain -> well-written and interesting hero
Starlight Glimmer: Well-written and interesting villain -> bland and boring hero?
