first episode you saw

Feeling Pinkie Keen.

Whole and in one sitting, Crusaders of the Lost Mark.
 
Clips, I think Swarm of the Century.

I started from the beginning and have always watched them in order. The “latest” episode when I began was Sonic Rainboom.
 
The show changed considerably since then. They tried to incorporate this into the show by having the characters panic about change… but that doesn’t change that the show could have taken a higher path.
 
Oh well. That’s water under the bridge. The fandom lives on. Hopefully the best AUs make up for the dips in the canon.

The pilot, but I do remember watching a little bit of Hearts & Hooves Day as far back as 2012.

Magical Mystery Cure

I can’t remember what the VERY first episode I watched was, but I do know that it’s narrowed down to Rarity Investigates, Read It And Weep, or Stare Master. I want to say it’s the first option.

Only thing was I watched it backwards. Part 2 (on TV) first and then part 1 (On The Hub website). A friend during the start of my sophomore year (2011-2012) told me to watch the show but I never thought of watching the very first episode.

Return of Harmony is an episode I rarely ever return to…. even when I fully watched the first two seasons (when I started joining the fandom in May) for the first time and got to the two parter, I just skipped to the end where They defeat Discord after the mane six get their elements back and they prepare to attack.

My first episode was the MLP pilot on Dailymotion awhile ago.

I heard about the fanfictions so I was interested in seeing it.

I was kind of dissapointed how it didn’t have a season long arc. And even more so how it switched to a slice of life episode which while I liked felt dissapointed that it was no another adventure.

Though nowadays I acknowledge this is more of a subjective opinion. And I also learned lesson on not to judge a show by its fanwork standards but by its own merits and goals.

How come u skip?

I think the first episode I watched was ‘Look Before You Sleep.’

Discord’s debut episode, I believe.

As an aside, how do you find MMC upon rewatching these days? I’ve found that my own opinion of it has significantly improved when I rewatched it recently.
