Season 7 Episode Discussion [Speculation, Discussion, Spoilers] (SPOILER YOUR LEAKS)

@Magma_ERuptiOn  
Apejack’s key episode

I like Haber alright, don’t much care for his two parters.

@Der_Fur_Shur  
That one’s not very good I must say.

@Magma_ERuptiOn
 
It’s mainly an ep with a single very good scene. The one where the Flim Flams manipulate AJ

@Magma_ERuptiOn  
You can’t have an episode about alternate timelines and not show what it would be like if Nightmare Moon won.

@Magma_ERuptiOn  
Yeah it was his weakest episode in his debut season, but I thought Castle Maneia and Simple Ways made up for it

@Magma_ERuptiOn  
I didn’t like how Twilgiht was so OP in Castlemania, Simple Ways was a love it hate kind of thing it had some good parts but Rarity acted kinda OOC, and he also wrote A Leap of Faith which was terrible, but I can’t blame him all the key epsidoes were average at best Rarity Takes Manehattan being the the only really good one.

@Rappy0
 
(sits in the corner loving Seabreeze)

@gingerninja666  
Oh I hated that one he was the only character that had a brain in the episode.

“Leap of Faith” to me honestly feels like it was only made because they needed to give Applejack a key episode. It’s quite forgettable.
 
@Goobington  
Perhaps, but even then I feel like the alternate timelines shouldn’t have centered on a single villain taking over each one. They should have stuck to ‘what would have happened to the Mane 6 without the Rainboom’, and the Sombra one was at least on the right track but it was all thrown away afterward.

Honestly, “Where and Back Again” is one of the only season finales that doesn’t have multiple plots points that make me want to headdesk, no matter how much I liked them at the time. “Canterlot Wedding” had Cadance and Shining Armor from nowhere and Crysalis’s plan making no sense, “Twilight’s Kingdom” had Celestia being a massive moron, Twilight being the only character worth a damn, and Rainbow Power being a ugly anticlimax, “The Cutie Re-Mark” had Starlight’s terrible abortion of a backstory, “Magical Mystery Cure” had… too many issues to go into here.
 
“Best Night Ever” is the best of course.

@Philweasel  

 
 
There’s no doubt that its the best finale of the series.

@Goobington  
Maybe not, it was the weakest of the 3 main alt timelines though. The first two were good imo.
 
Re: Leap of Faith
 
The weakest key episode and probably, for me, the weakest episode of s4. Silver Shill is a pretty awful key giver.

@Rappy0  

 
I agree. I was a newbie back then.

My main issue with Leap of Faith is that Applejack comes clean after Granny Smith attempts a stunt that she couldn’t possibly do in her old age.
 
That’s not a “tell the truth” issue. That’s a “prevent someone you care about from doing something completely stupid” issue.

@Jarkes  
I don’t think anyone could do that stunt without killing themselves.

@Der_Fur_Shur  
That’s because you hate pinkie and enjoy depression.

I don’t really see the appeal of Best Night Ever (except adding one of the males to my Harem, Blueblood).
 
The girls go to the Gala, it doesn’t match their expectations and they pretty much ruin it for everyone else all the while I get to see one of Rarity’s worst showings.

@kztxl7  
She felt entitled to blueblood. He probably got that a lot so I think he was being rude on purpose to get rid of her.

What would happen if Pharynx and Garble met? They both have aggressive personalities.

@Background Pony #4C9B  
Grable would be an asshole like usual and Pharynx would destoy him in like 5 seconds

@IceKitsune
 
Like the school bully who picked on the wrong kid, and got his ass kicked.

@kztxl7
 
Like, seriously, I pretty much called it from “The Ticket Master” that the actual episode about the Gala would have it not meet their expectations.
 
Though not joining the fandom until season 2 had already started probably helped in that regard.
 
But even if I hadn’t already known it was going to go that way, I STILL probably would’ve called it immediately.

What do you hope to see in Season 8?
