Luna Eclipsed > Applebuck Season > Bloom and Gloom >>>> Daring Don't > One Bad Apple
Luna Eclipsed: It was amazing being a fan during 2011 - 2012. Not only was the fandom still growing by leaps and bounds, but the show still had a bit of unfamiliarity to it. During this time, we were still learning the limits of how this show can tell a story, and how good it could actually be. Luna Eclipsed was an episode that came out of nowhere, because it COMPLETELY rocked our expectations as to what Luna could be, and a lesser show could end up screwing this up mightily. However, FiM passed with flying colors here. An absolutely darling episode. 10/10
Applebuck Season: 4.5 years later, this episode still holds up very well. Applejack does get a lot of crap for being a flat character, but this episode shows us that there's quite a bit more than it seems, especially in regards to Applejack's ongoing relationship with the greatness she really doesn't want. AJ really needs more episodes where she actually gets to show what she really is. 8.5/10
Bloom and Gloom: Another Stand-Up effort for Season 5. Bloom and Gloom is held back by its' 2nd act, but it ultimately ends up delivering a good episode episode. However, for it to truly be more, it has to shape future events. 7.5/10
Daring Don't: Wrong Episode, Wrong Time. I haven't watched this episode more than twice, and there's a big reason for that. Both Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash end up being insufferable, and it ends up being a crash course in what NOT to do post-MMC. But you know what? There's much worse coming 4/10.
One Bad Apple: Execution Kills, and boy did it kill this episode. 3/10
So here's where we stand with 4 episodes in the books.
Season Rankings Table Season 2: 20 (5 Bonus Points) Season 1: 11 Season 5: 10 (1 Bonus Point Pending) Season 4: 8 Season 3: 4* (2 Demerit Points ultimately lowers the score)
Here is my scoring table: 1st Place = 5 2nd Place = 4 3rd Place = 3 4th Place = 2 5th Place = 1
There are also bonus and demerit points. 2 Points for Episode Rankings of 10. 1 Point for Episode Rankings of 9 - 1 Point for Episode Rankings of 3 - 2 Points for Episode Rankings of 2 - 3 Points for Episode Rankings of 1 - 4 Points for Episode Rankings of 0
*Note: Season 3 is getting double points for its' finishes and bonuses, but demerits remain the same.
