The whole :black101: part was kinda the real climax, and yeah, Rainbow Power designs are still garish and awful as hell, but holy moly that was one hell of a way to wrap up Season 4.

Oh god.

It's over. :cry:

Discord betrayed them! Celestia was wrong to free him!

But he's the one who figured out how to open the box...not just with the final key but with the highlighting the journal.

Honestly, this was my main 'worry' with regards to Celestia's portrayal, that she'd look foolish for loosing Discord, but I'm cool with it.

Really, lots of fun and many feels were felt. Thumbs up!

So much for the battle between the Changelings and Mane 6. This one blew it away. :awesomedash:

I swear that magic from Twi looked like a charged particle cannon from Zoids.

Smooth move Discord. How do you feel now?



My rating: Infiniy out of 10. :amazing:
I think the bar has been set a little higher.



But now it's over for close to a year. :gonkity:

Wow that was the most Twilight we've seen all season, and considering that she's my favorite, I absolutely loved the episode! Even after all of the season openers and closers that we've had so far, they're still able to create villains and epic stories that don't just feel like the same thing being rehashed, and I definitely found this one particularly interesting. I also love how they're not afraid to add some awesome action sequences into the mix, as the fight scene near the end was awesome! (But NOOO! Twilight's Library! :twonk:)

And they finally opened the box! :excite: :excite: :excite:

It was Rainbow Magic as I assumed, although it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. At least they aren't rainbowified forever! :yay:

So ya, overall I loved Season 4! And I can't wait to see what comes next! :crack:

That is definitely the best season finale they've ever done, and if it were the end of the series, I think I would have been satisfied. It took a whole year, but they finally followed through on MMC. I'll have more thoughts later, but for now I am very glad that they pushed the message of friendship and of unity amongst them.

Well that was fun.

I am sad the library is gone :fluttersmith: rip Golden Oaks.


I think I liked Part 1 more then Pt2, mainly because things happened and it wasn't just a long fight sequence, which was still neat but doesn't serve the show as well as the set up in the first episode. Good job DHX!

What was that Pony Ball Z? Collect all 7 pony balls and get a wish from the magic pony dragon Tree.

Still as dumb as all that was, that was a fun two parter, Worth the build up for the keys and a real villain too, He would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky ponys.

If Tirek has been out since "Its about Time" does that technically make this finale Larson's fault?

But in all seriousness, I loved this finale. I loved this season. The ride has me trapped and I love it.

Tirek returning on the 30th anniversary of his debut, Discord going bad again in a team-up with Tirek, FUCKING DRAGON BALL Z PONE!! :twonk:

Given the constraints the team was no doubt under for this episode, I think that was just about everything I could've asked for. :allears:

P.S - Tirek absorbing Discord's magic was kind of terrifying :-I

I think the real lesson is that he had to learn to actually do it because he was friends with them, not just because of Fluttershy alone. That's the same moral the ending was giving us.

That was cool. Everything was cool. Except the Rainbow Power designs. But what they did was cool.

I'm just kinda in awe over how generally awesome this was. It addressed the main concern about Twilight this season, gave us a Dragonball Z Pony Fight, expounded upon Discord's character, and once again shook up the status quo for next season. I'm having trouble coming up with issues here. :awesomedash:

At least that Rainbow Kingdom thing didn't turn into Equestria getting all carved up like I'd feared. I was concerned about that.

Well, It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but outside that AMAZING fight, I thought the second episode was pretty weak.

+Episode 1. Pretty much everything in episode 1 worked. Discord giving Twilight the answers, the song, showing Tirek become more powerful.

-Episode 2. Turns out Discord wasn't double crossing. He flat out betrayed everyone and only turned around again after Tirek betrayed him. Princesses doing nothing and getting captured, AGAIN. Plot holes to get Twilight the mega-power. Pretty much everything from the fight on was solid, but it was a messy road to get there.

Mordja wrote:Oh yeah, I actually thought that Discord was playing the long con with Tirek, but having it otherwise worked out pretty well too. Maybe now he'll tone down his dickishness some. I hope not. :-I


This was a bigger disappointment to me than the other Princesses getting to do nothing but get captured again. The set up in part 1 to Discord playing the long con was laid out pretty well, and I didn't think for a second they would actually have them betray everyone.

And yeah that's totally a tiny throne for Spike.

You know, the more I think of this, if you wanted to read the freeing of Discord, getting them to give up the Elements to bring about the key box, and pretty much everything in this episode as one giant gambit by Celestia, you could.

:gotcha: Just as planned.

That was awesome. Twilight's throwdown with Tirek was really something.

I'm glad they went back to regular pony after Tirek was defeated, and as I hoped, I guess we'll just see rainbow power for the next big threat.

Discord...I thought he'd go one of two ways, either pulling a fast one on Tirek all the time or getting double crossed as we saw. It felt right that he was the one to give Twilight her key. I have no problem with his being part of the gang, but let him keep a *little* mischeviousness. I'm sure we'll see him prominently in the opener next year.

The pegasi and Earth ponies also being affected was chilling. Poor Derpy, but it was nice to see her and the others back at the end.

I'm going to miss the old library, but the new castle is nice. And Spike gets his own booster seat. :yikes:

Discord gets a lawn chair. :excellent:

And a nice scene at the end with the rainbow and some of the characters from the season making a reappearance.

No more spicy food for Celestia before bed, it gives her nightmares. :gotcha:

You did good Pony...you delivered all season long. Very few shows can say that. :excite:
