I loved it.
I'd give it 4.75/5, due to slightly rushed pacing in the second half, but it is now definitely my favorite of the finales.

Yeah, that was definitely the best of the finales so far. Totally epic.
My only complaint was:
That's a minor quibble though. I really liked the way it wrapped up.
Finally watched the MLP parody ep of Bob's Burgers.
Hilarious. Great lampooning of con culture in general, not just specific to MLP.
I actually grabbed the attention of everyone in the local Comic Book shop by speaking the phrase, "Pony Goku." I then had to show them the clip...
They agreed.. ^^
Never liked Bob's Burgers anyway.
I tried to watch Bob's Burgers once when Hulu or Netflix recommended it to me, I couldn't make it through the first episode. I can only imagine the cringe factor that watching that episode would cause.
Watch it. Its a funny ep.
Yo, brony here, I didn't know we had a thread!
Anyway, with regards to this:
They really need to flesh out King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis does need to come back. Though I would like there to be a new villain for the season finally.More could be done with Sombra...
Spoiler:Might me be reading too much into that, but......as when Twilight powered up that 'pensieve' elixer, she used shadowy magic.
The first time this "shadowy magic" appeared, Celestia was using it to demonstrate what Sombra would do if he managed to take over the Crystal Empire again. Twilight used it later that episode to bypass Sombra's illusions, though she did get caught in a trap soon afterwards. Finally, in the Season 4 Premier,
In the case of the latter 2 explanations the pony in question isn't an Alicorn but they have basically stolen/borrowed the power or there may be certain Alicorn Spells that sufficiently powerful Unicorns can use. Both Twilight and Sombra used that spell when neither was an Alicorn but it is shown that Sombra was a force that even Celestia and Luna thought to be dangerous enough that they fought him head on. So the spell itself may be.
** spoiler omitted **** spoiler omitted **
Hey, I just remembered, didn't
Twilight's power level is 9000!!!;)
Over 9000...
Looks like we have another adventure arc coming in this season.
I hope we will get a lot of world building and travel this season.

JUST MET PINKIE AND MAUD PIE AND GOT THEIR AUTOGRAPHS ON THE FAMED PIE SISTERS POSTER I GOT IN THE NEW PINKIE AND MAUD PIE LUNCH BOX I GOT!
Well I am glad you have had a good time Freehold.
I would love to see season 5 finally come out.
I was working in the dealer's room, so I missed the season 5 panel.

Note that Twilight is capable of using it before her ascension. Perhaps this sort of magic is available to any pony/unicorn who is "on the path" to alicorn-dom. This would imply that Sombra was, in essence, "just that powerful".
The upcoming comic about his origins may or may not reveal more.
Maud(Ingrid) did a yoga class!!! I also met an author who is a dead ringer for George R.R. Martin(is not him though), who runs the Maud Pie as a zen master twitter account. I got a rock with the twitter info on it, I'll post it as soon as I find it.
Also met the artist behind many of those comic covers. He will be at Bronycon in a few months, I will find my copy of the famed "blame my sister/I'm with stupid" Luna/Celestia comic and have him sign it.
I dunno. But I will be enjoying it with BRONIESNYC when it does.
Awesome, finally a release date, and just a month away.
Well the longest hiatus so far;)
Broniesnyc confirmed.
1:50 into "Life is a Runway"
Was anyone else thinking The Matrix, or was that just me?
"Rarity here. What do you need, Sunset?"
"Dresses. Lots of dresses."

So...Just got a chance to watch the new episodes. Orwell would be proud I think.
To avoid spoiling anything:
"You can't have a nightmare, if you never dream." has to be one of the creepiest lines in media in my recent memory.
This is probably the single most setup heavy season opener to date. It seems to lay the ground work for quite a bit of story, we got the map revealing large portions of the world never before seen, cutie marks as pagers/quest markers,(I'm really expecting at least a couple episodes where each of the mane 6 or pairs of them will be sent hither and yon on quests as dictated by the map sending their marks around), an obvious setup for a recurring villain, yet another historical character with powerful magic and artifacts. I also think that the four new "second stringers" may be the first in a a new line of allies for the mane 6, kind of like the 6 gift givers last season.
If the four newbies from this episode don't come back for a least a cameo this season I'll be disappointed.
In short I believe overall a good start for this season I think.
It would be nice to have some earth pony and/or Pegasus villain for once though.

Kinda like having a fighter as the big bad they're just horribly underpowered at the character level these ponies have.

I gotta say, I think Runway may actually be the best song of those three. It feels the most distinctive in style. The video for Past Is Not Today kicks ass, though.
Speaking of things kickass, that premier. Wow. I can't wait to see Starlight return. I can't wait to learn more about the new Twilight lookalight! Er, lookalike.

A pegasus controls weather. Don't screw with the pegasus.
Plus, we know a bit too little about the setting to assume things. Maybe there are superpowerful earth ponies who can control plants or "earthbend". Maybe magic immunity is a thing. Maybe the earth pony has a magic item that protects them. :P

Earth Ponies also might have incidental powers. She only exists as a comic book character, but Mane-iac was an earth pony, want she?
So is Pinkie Pie. Sometimes I'm half-convinced she is some kind of earth pony caster that's gone unrecognized because unicorns are still stuck on the notion that only they can cast spells.
The most common explanation I hear emphasizes their connection to the earth. Their facility to grow things and otherwise manipulate the things of nature. For example, Zecora and Apple Bloom being good with potions and Granny Smith figuring out how to harness zap apples.
One theory called it an unknown (in Equestria, anyway) psychic connection. It's apparently innate and not something pegasi or unicorns pick up on. Take this psychic openness and expand it and you get Pinkie Pie's Pinkie Sense.
Maybe. I do wish they'd give us a little more on this.
Zecora's a zebra, not a pony. ;)
Word of God states that plants are only able to grow in Equestria thanks to magic earth pony poop.
