Well, keep in mind that this is a cartoon that isn't really meant to be thought about too deeply. Don't get me wrong, I love to dissect these episodes as much as the next guy, and I truly enjoy reading these threads. But sometimes, it doesn't hurt to have an episode that is purely focused on having fun. And this episode delivered that- I had fun watching it, and I think almost everyone would agree with that. I think of these types of episodes are similar to comic relief in a serious story. Once in a while, it doesn't hurt to step back from analyzing the show in detail for underlying themes and just have an episode to answer the question: "What would happen if there were a bunch of Pinkies running around?" And in regards to the "politics episode", I doubt that he (or any other writer) would do that, especially after a very divided election in the U.S. recently. And, personally, I don't think that the mane 6 getting in a conflict over an election would be very characteristic of them anyway.

Simply put, I liked this episode very much. Lots of Pinkies running around was a joy to watch, as well as physics laws being shattered. Also, I like the episodes are still focusing on Twilight to an extent, since we get to see her abilities expand as the series progresses. I'm wondering if she's going to start experimenting with the "dark magic" soon... What I want to see are the other legends/stories in that book that Spike found... It would be interesting to see other legends that they have...

Meh. Better than some places I've seen.

I'm pretty sure at some point they said that a "fan-favorite villain will return in a very awesome way". Personally, I'm hoping this is Discord. About the episode overall, I would give this an 8.5/10. The disappointing Sombra took things down for me- he definitely pales in comparison to Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon, Discord, and even Trixie. But there was a great amount of humor, some cool magic, and some good material for fanfics to work off of. And Spike gets a stained-glass window YAY! But seriously, they seem to add one of those every few weeks or something. Are they going to run out of room in that building? My only concern is that to me, they were hinting heavily at Twilight replacing Luna or something... I know this is going out on a limb here, but PLEASE don't take away Luna... I think if you're going to be a serious ruler, you have to know about all aspects of magic... You can't really afford to be surprised by something you don't know about. About "King" Sombra, I don't think that title is meant to be taken too seriously. It's probably just the title he forced the crystal ponies to call him... And yeah, those guards DID have cool voices. And there's probably going to be some fics about them. I AM SO READY FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON.
