Are there any pieces you liked about your least favorite episodes?

I can’t think of anything, but to expand the scope of this thread a bit, I like about the first 10 minutes or so of Dragon Quest.

Lost Treasure of Griffinstone had lots of good moments, more than it had bad moments. It’s the heart of the episode, the redemption of Gilda, that I don’t like about it, not any of the moments. And even that was done well. I liked it at the time, I still do overall like it. And I didn’t rate it as my least favorite episode until much later in the season. It’s just that in the final review of the whole season, it was too much. Redeeming Diamond Tiara was more important and meaningful if any of it had to be done (not to mention it was done even better than with Gilda), and redeeming Starlight Glitter was basically required (it was that or kill her, and I didn’t really see that happening). Doing all three in one season (and also after we’d already also had Trixie and Discord redeemed in seasons past) just feels sloppy. Like they ran out of ideas.

Princess Spike - Sleeping Twily. ’nuff said.

Party Pooped had that cool saber-toothed tiger monster. Other than that, it was trash and the yaks were unfunny dangerous violent brutes who deserved to be all defeated in a quick war in which the ponies, with their various abilities, completely destroy the yaks for pridefully choosing to be stupidly, unfunnily violent over a wee bit of.. what looks seems to be… cultural misappropriation at the worst.

Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?: Luna’s dream place at the end is beautiful.
 
The Cutie Remark: Starlight Glimmer was a fun crazy villain with (sadly) a poor back story.

I know I’ve posted here before, but:  
-The comedic moments in Castle Sweet Castle  
-The inclusion of Pipsqueak in COTLM  
-The new design of foals’ eyes in TOWPPK  
-Most of the buildup of The Cutie Re-Mark apart from the last 15 or so minutes  
-Everything about TFTM apart from the fact that Tank wasn’t truly dying. This includes Dash’s swimsuit from that one scene (seriously, why didn’t this become a meme?):  

Bloom and Gloom: Applejack’s lullaby.  
Scare Master: A lot of the costumes, freeze-frame gags and shoutouts, Fluttershy’s first attempt at scaring her friends.  
The Hooffields and McColts: Twilight geeking out over finally getting summoned.  
Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?: Rainbow Dash’s nightmare.  
Appleoosa’s Most Wanted and Crusaders of the Lost Mark:….Nope, got nothing for either of these. Um… they convinced me to just do myself a favor and either skip or gloss over all future CMC episodes?

Hoofields and McColts and What About Discord: Twilight’s characterization far more entertaining than it was in most of S4.
 
Party Pooped: Basically everything that didn’t involve the goddamn Yaks, they dragged down a bunch of solid stuff so badly.
 
Made in Manehattan: not really a “least favorite” at all but I have to note, I thought everything before Rarity and AJ met up with Coco was a whole lot better than everything afterward, the episode would of been best served if it was just allowed to be a full Rarity/AJ showcase. Coco is a boring character and the whole play thing dragged on too long.
 
Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep: There’s lots of great gags in this like Rainbows dream, Princess Big Mac and others, it’s just that I find this sort of characterization for Luna insuferable.
 
Appleoosas most Wanted: I got nothing really. I guess Sweetie used her magic in a pretty neat way?

Boast Busters: Trixie was pretty cool.  
Yeah, I don’t really have any least favorite episodes. It takes a lot to make me not like an episode.

@Mike  
Boast Busters? I thought that was s1, unless my memory is really screwy.

@Kirb  
It was. They probably misread the title.

@Kirb  
Oh, oops, forgot the title said season 5.  
Uh….  
Ehm…  
My least favorite was Princess Spike and I honestly still didn’t hate it :P

@Mike  
Ah, lol. I still haven’t seen Princess Spike honestly because I’ve heard about its reputation.
 
@RaineV1  
Yep, that’s what happened.

@Kirb  
Yeah, it’s pretty widely hated. I personally thought it was meh. But like I said, I don’t hate, or even really dislike any episode.

@Mike  
There’s only one episode that I actively want to burn.
 
But it’s not an s5 episode so meh.
 
On another note: Between Rainbow Falls, Tanks for the Memories and the newest episode, is it just me or is Dash in a lot of bad episodes recently? (And mind you, I kind of liked RF at first.)

@Kirb  
Methidman should change the thread to include episodes from all seasons.  
What episode do you wanna burn?  
Also, I liked Rainbow Falls, and TFTM is one of my personal faves.

@Kirb  
I’d say she’s on a run of good episodes, unusually for her.
 
4, maybe 5 if you think TT123 is good.

@Mike  

@Kirb  
Oh, I know what episode you’re talking about now.  
I dunno, I thought Fluttershy actually came out pretty good at the end.

@Kirb  
Well, I’m including episodes where she played a main role in this.
 
Tanks, Griffonstone, Rarity Investigates, Newbie Dash.

@Kirb  
I really hope the Breezies become more than just a one off race, I very much want to see more of them.

@Mike  

 
Done.

@MethidMan  
Sweet.

@Mike  
Blecch. I could not stand the episode. There were no parts I liked about it.
 
@Magma_ERuptiOn  
Ah.

@Kirb  
How could you possibly not like Seabreeze?
