I'm not entirely sure why I'm spoiler tagging this. Habit I guess. I'm sure we've all watched it by now. The two-parter was big and epic like it needed to be. I thought Discord got off light considering how badly he screwed up. I've always liked Starlight Glimmer and she got to prove what a badass she is a couple of times. But more than the fighting, it was the little hug between her and Trixie as Trixie led the students to safety under the school that was her best moment for me.
The epilogue episode was a nice touch. While not being overt, they basically admitted that Dash and AJ are a couple, which is a bit of a surprise to me since it seemed they were setting up the Rarijack ship for nearly all nine seasons. Still, good for them. It also appears that Discord and Fluttershy are a couple, as well as Sandbar and Yona. And Pinkie married Cheese Sandwich, producing a little Cheese Pie. Most everyone noticed that AJ was wearing Granny Smith's kerchief, but did anyone pick up that Apple Bloom, who is now teaching at the School of Friendship with the rest of the CMC, is wearing Aunt Goldie Delicious' kerchief? Time stands still for no pony.
The show was great. I think the 2010s are going to be remembered for an animation renaissance that began with MLP and included great shows like Adventure Time, Teen Titans Go!, The Regular Show, Steven Universe, The Venture Brothers, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Carmen Sandiego and many others.
