Second take: Princess Twilight Sparkle

So, um, I was watching this, and I found myself having a lot new to say.

Second chance: Inspiration Manifestation

Finally, an episode that has grown better with a second chance.

Second chance: Maud Pie

This is a little more like it, but ultimately I just don't get it.

Second chance: Somepony to Watch Over Me

My intention was that I'd like these episodes MORE after watching them again, not less. Why does this keep happening?

Second chance: It Ain't Easy Being Breezies

So this didn't go very well.

Second chance: Rainbow Falls

I'm actually doing this one for the opposite reason of most.

Second chance: Pinkie Apple Pie

Now THIS is what I'm talking about!

Second chance: Flight to the Finish

After having finally gone through the first three seasons again, I'm gonna be giving second chances to certain episodes of S4 that I might have not given a fair enough shake the first time around. First up we have "Flight to the Finish", an episode that initially failed to leave much of an impact on me whatsoever.

Retrospective review: Magical Mystery Cure

I actually wouldn't call it the worst episode of the show, but it's the one that makes me the angriest.

Retrospective review: Games Ponies Play

What a wasted opportunity. 

Retrospective review: Keep Calm and Flutter On

Some of its approaches are flawed, but it's too much of a riot not to love.

Retrospective review: Spike At Your Service

That one episode that everyone hates but I actually like.

Retrospective review: Apple Family Reunion

What a nothing of an episode.

Retrospective review: Just For Sidekicks

A fun episode, and part of an intriguing experiment. 

Retrospective review: Wonderbolts Academy

Further proof that the season has hit its stride.

Retrospective review: Sleepless in Ponyville

Okay, fine. I admit. This is probably the best episode of the whole season.

Retrospective review: Magic Duel

One of the most beloved episodes of the third season, and there's a reason for that.

Retrospective review: One Bad Apple

A fairly strong entry into the third season.

Retrospective review: Too Many Pinkie Pies

Interesting elements, but flawed characterization.

Retrospective review: The Crystal Empire

Once upon a time, this was one of my favourite episodes, but as much as I enjoy it, I see it has a lot of problems.

Retrospective review: A Canterlot Wedding

The pinnacle of the series. An outstanding achievement that raises the bar almost unfairly high.

Retrospective review: MMMystery on the Friendship Express

Charming... though, not really much else.
