[@bonbonpony]

00:30 It's a reference to "The Hobbit: To There And Back Again" ;) And there are indeed some parallels between this finale and Tolkien's books. The Changelings' Hive is like Sauron's tower, and our Suicide Squad is like the hobbits carrying the ring to Mordor. They have to go to the heart of darkness to save the world and their friends ;) 02:25 So you're saying you will grow some wings? :D 07:14 Actually, she did: two episodes ago :P 07:47 Yeah, rub it all over her face, Trixie ;J 07:56 Boop :) 08:44 Actually, she came from a different village :P 11:32 Well, not really :/ I mean, better this than nothing, but it's better still to _learn_ from one's mistakes instead of just pretending they never happened. But I guess that's the best advice Trixie could come up with (and of course spoiling Starlight to pin Twilight another needle ;> ). 11:50 Yup, Pinkie knows everypony. She would never forget the name of a friend. I found it odd too (you can see me in the background) and I tried to warn Twilight, but the Changelings got me midway :/ (One of them pretended to be Lyra ;/ It was horrible :/ ) 14:44 Twilight would never brag about that. 14:47 It's funny that this advice sounds _very_ similar to her advice from the Season 5's finale :D In the finale, she advised Starlight that she doesn't have to grieve about the past because she can always find new friends. Then it was OK, but now the same statement doesn't sound like a good advice :g Interesting... Nevertheless, it contradicts the other thing Twilight said in the finale: "Even when one friendship dies, the results can be disastrous" :P 15:56 At that moment, when I first watched it, I thought that it is going to be something about the dream world being pushed out of balance by some villain, by capturing Luna and making the dream world going bonkers. That would be a nice idea for the finale too ;> Inception style ;) 16:41 Looks like Starlight doesn't know yet how to survive in Bardo (the dark empty space between dreams). 18:05 And now kiss... :g (oh, all the GIFs...) 18:26 That's two :J 18:45 Applejack eating pear... nice reference to "Doctor Who" :> 19:28 This Changeling was voiced by Eric Cartman :J 20:02 These voices remind me of the Minions :D (well, in a way, Changelings are minions too: to the Queen Chrysalis ;> ). 20:18 Yup, cloaking spell :) Interestingly, Trixie seem to know it too. Could it be the trick behind her disappearing in these smoke bombs? Or maybe Starlight taught her? Or maybe it was Starlight who casted that spell for both of them?... Aaaanyhoo... another spell on the list for my game... 20:27 And that's, dear kids, why you should take a shower often ;) You never know when a Changeling can smell you ;J 21:10 Another bubble of silence ;) 21:57 OK, this is a _very_ obscure easter egg, but it is great ;> Can you see what's behind Trixie? It's a wheel from her waggon ;> In "Magic Duel" she said that she doesn't trust wheels. And this is because there was a medieval torture called breaking wheel, used to torture women accused for witchcraft :P It's funny how Trixie lays on the wheel exactly as a "witch" would do that ;J 22:30 3..2..1.. 22:33 :D OK, the level of epicness is already over 9000. On to part two...

[@bonbonpony]

26:49 Well, he _was_ a great planner once, in Season 2's premiere :q 26:58 Judging by the sound, Trixie's head is very dense :J And it doesn't sound empty for sure ;) 27:22 Well, "Two heads are better than one", as they say... 27:30 It's a KRIEGSSCHWEINE :D (a battle hog). Another obscure (and brilliant) reference ;) 28:05 How ironic: To this point, Starlight used to solve everything with her Magic. And now Magic turns out to be useless. What else could she possibly fall back to? ;> Could it be.... Friendship? ;] 29:30 Just make sure you don't go into some huge Dragon's anus :q 29:40 People with trypophobia will have a hard time with this part of the episode ;> 30:13 That's the sign of good writing: when characters ask the same question at the very same moment the viewer/reader does, and they answer it immediately ;> 39:27 Don't worry, Trixie, you don't seem to have what they want :q 32:10 "The hive cluster is under attack" ;|= 32:25 ....a veeeery long fart?... :q 33:56 OK why does the entrance to the queen's lair look like a giant vagina? :P 35:41 "The one pony you care most about", you say? ;> 36:05 The only thing than can kill a Brony :q So many crying Fluttershys! :@ I can already hear the "HNNNG!" coming from the horizon... :q 37:07 Authentication failed :P 37:34 Is there still any doubt that Trixie has some suicidal tendencies? :q 38:23 Zerg rush :S 41:33 Things got dire :s 42:34 B.E.Y.utiful :D 43:00 Reverse the flow :> 44:05 Chryssie seems to be surprised, and scared ;> 44:48 Yeah, as if entire worlds were about to collide, eh? ;> 45:00 I wondered what was Celestia's Plan B :q 46:50 :D

[@bonbonpony]

48:30 It's quite interesting: the number *four* seems to be the leading theme of this finale. We've got the *four scarab devices* which the Changelings put on the Map table to communicate with Queen Chrysalis, and then *four* reformed side characters forming a Suicide Squad; the word "squad" comes from the same root as "quadrate" or "square" - a *four-sided* figure. And again, we can see a *square* of magical beams connecting the scarabs on the table! Not to mention the four Alicorn princesses being ponynapped (Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Twilight). Could this all be a coincidence? I don't think so :q (There are some more _minor_ references to the number four: four wheels in Trixie's waggon, Discord walking on four legs during his escape, four pieces of the vagina-shaped door, Discord's dancing flowers have 4 petals...). Hmm... Japanese consider the number 4 to cause bad luck, because in their language it is represented by the same word as "death" ("shi"). But I'm not sure if this is relevant here... 58:00 To me, it all really seemed like some kind of a curse, which could be lifted only when they learn to share their love instead of sucking it. They had to reverse the flow of love to lift the curse and become beautiful colorful creatures again. It's also a nice parallel to how governments work in Human World: they do what they can to convince people that they need government above them, and to make them depend on the government by giving them "free money" (except that in order to do that, they had to take that money from someone else first, because governments don't have their own money :P ). While in reality it is the government who needs us to prosper and even exist. Without our money, our work, our votes and our allowance, governments couldn't exist. Similarly, Chrysalis was convincing her subjects that they need her to survive, because only her can supply them with love they can feed on. So they were fighting for her and bringing her some love they could gather, like drones to the queen bee, and in return she was giving them some pigswill from her table to convince them that they get something out of it :P But once they realized (thanks to Starlight) that she cares more about herself than about them, and that they don't really need her, because they can share their love, they could finally free themselves. Think about that next time you'll be thinking about your government having any power you ;> 01:00:30 That's the whole point with Changelings: you _don't_ see when they invade ;> 01:06:05 That was my first thought after seeing her escape, too. I imagined her starting a new hive somewhere else and breeding a new army of Changelings, and then an epic battle between the bad Changelings and the good Changelings. But then I realized that it would be a very short battle, because the good Changelings could simply tell them the secret of love and convert them to good Changelings too :P The lie lives only until the moment someone tells the truth. Once the secret comes out, it cannot be kept secret anymore, no matter how hard one tries.

[@applegeek2597]

One thing I ended up forgetting to talk about in the commentary is Kevin. Was he involved, or is he another traitor that's still living in Ponyville or something? If he wasn't in the hive when this happened, did he not transform? Same goes for any other changelings that were not present in the hive when this happened, like the ones that replaced the Mane 6 and the others. So many questions, so few answers...

Usually when a show does like the shapeshifter thing, characters end up with the idiot ball, but i gotta say i was impressed with how the gang handled it in this episode.

[@11thShadowDragon]

Bon Bon Haha not funny. So tired of marijuana and drugs everywhere, ugh. I guess I can't even find MLP as a sanctuary from that now -_-

[@bonbonpony]

11thShadowDragon So you don't drink coffee and tea? Because they are drugs too :q Alcohol is as well, and cigarettes. The only difference is that those are "legal" drugs, because governments and big corporations benefit from it. Ayahuasca or efedra - also drugs, but Endian shamans drink it for religious purposes. Everything is for people, and everything can be bad for you when you overuse it, or use incorrectly, including water. Everything can be addictive, because addiction doesn't come from the drug itself - it comes from the organism which stops producing its own chemicals when you supply them from the outside in big amounts. I know people addicted from insulin: they need to take it more and more, because their organisms stopped producing their own when getting it from the outside. I know people from Netherland who smoke marijuana for years (it's legal in their country) and they are fine and no addiction developed, because they smoke pure marijuana they have grown themselves. Marijuana you can buy from illegal sources is usually addictive because they deliberately add amphetamine to it, to make it addictive. I also know people who use marijuana for medical purposes, to heal cancer or glaucoma. So I hope you see now that the subject of drugs is not so black-and-white as you probably thought.

Bon Bon Thank you for telling me what I already know. I think you knew what I meant when I said drugs.

[@11thShadowDragon]

It pays to be paranoid in this business, my friend. And it pays well.

[@blueteller]

11thShadowDragon True enough. I knew she wasn't the real Pinkie the moment she awkwardly said "Hey... you?", because it made it clear she had no idea who Starlight was or what was her name. So obviously, impersonation. But, I'm a nerdy over-analyzing weirdo, so I can't help it xD

[@bonbonpony]

Better be paranoid than dead ;q And the reason it was so obvious that Pinkie was a Changeling is because Pinkie knows everypony. She never forgets the names of her friends. But this Pinkie couldn't use Starlight's name, which was a clear indication that she doesn't recognize her and just pretending.

[@celestinebuendia]

not if you were a changeling fan . then you just got kick out of the MLP fandom what a great way to teach about tolerance and diversity..

[@commandercritic9036]

technically their still changelings, Celestia said so, but instead of stealing love, they've now learned - as Thorax said he would do in the first episode we saw him - to SHARE love, this stops them from needing to steal it all the time so they don't have to trick the other creatures of equestria anymore. Personally I liked that the changelings went through this change (wink wink, nudge nudge), it shows that they really were being manipulated FROM BIRTH by Chrysaliss, who was the REAL evil one to begin with, I also like that she did not get reformed straight away, for two reasons, one it breaks the habit of reforming the actual villains in just a single episode, and two, it sets us up nicely for a season 7 which we know now will have the over-lining story ark of Chrysaliss trying to get revenge on starlight (much like what Starlight did to Twilight during season 5, yet more indication that we're moving away from Twilight as a main character and towards Starlight. Twilight is taking Celestia's role as mentor, and Starlight is the student)

[@PK-MegaLolCaT]

Commander Critic they are NOT changeling .. they are not the creatures i became a fan of .. they are just bunch of new selling toys for little girl that cant found things that are different appealing as for the episode . you dont get it . The problem here is the show is telling you that being different is WRONG .. they are trying to teach you about tolerance and diversity with dubble thinking messages and morals. in the mindset of the show. Thorax Can not be Proud of being Changeling . being a changeling is BAD .. the only good changling is the changling that wants to be a a technicolor pony .. it all or nothing mentality so now they are taking away Everything that made the changelings different and unique.. everything that as different culture made them different and made them contrast the the ponies thats the problem here ..the morals of the SHOW are bad joke you want a show that actually teach you tolerance and diversity ...Transformers beast wars in that show you have 2 predacons joining side of the Maximals and they NEVER are forced to compromise their values and culture for the sake joining the side of the "good guys" THAT is actual Diversity and tolerance what this mlp is teaching you is conformity to the norms of another culture .. for the sake of making a new toyline and in the process they kick out of the MLP fandom anyone who was mainly a fan of the changelings for what they were they have successfully made the fandom less diverse

[@commandercritic9036]

Philip kelton ok yes, I agree with your first line about the new toys, as for transformers, I never watched beast wars so I'll just take your word on that However, I do not agree that this change takes away what was unique about the Changelings, because what was unique about the Changelings was their ability to CHANGE into anypony. We haven't yet even seen what the changelings can do after going through their metamorphosis, and you're already judging them based on how they look? There's a word for that my friend, and I know you know what it is, but I won't stoop so low as to say it, as that would be putting unfair and preemptive judgement upon you, and I like to stand by the term "don't judge a book by its cover" which is what you have to do here, give the new changelings a chance, and don't just judge them based on how they look. But of course, this is your opinion, so if you really feel this way, then fine, that's your prerogative, but please accept that other people have opinions too and I for one like the change and look forward to seeing these new changelings in the future, morphing abilities and all.

Commander Critic "because what was unique about the Changelings was their ability to CHANGE into anypony." see right there. were you are describing the changelings as a one trick pony... right there you are telling me that you are not a changeling fan you may not dislike the changelings . but Clearly you *dont* get It. you dismissed my complain by saying that I'm quickly to judge because a change of look did YOU ever consider that the way they look, the way they behave is why People who like changing like them in the first place? go make a quick search for "changeling" in deviant art people that like changeling like them because they are NOT like the ponies www.deviantart.com/art/Changeling-Hive-513496478 www.deviantart.com/art/Changeling-339165149 www.deviantart.com/art/Changeling-Pinkie-Pie-Element-of-Gluttony-321293923 www.deviantart.com/art/Changeling-Hive-561248328 www.deviantart.com/art/Changeling-379410267 www.deviantart.com/art/The-Changeling-Queen-560311906 www.deviantart.com/art/The-Queen-of-the-Changelings-310510231 www.deviantart.com/art/paint-beat-changeling-colored-330947670 www.deviantart.com/art/Changeling-505058522 www.deviantart.com/art/Changeling-MLP-466633270 www.deviantart.com/art/Changeling-475450795 www.deviantart.com/art/I-Messed-Up-299196310 www.deviantart.com/art/Single-Mother-472124072 of course the esthetic of the changeling are important for a fan of the changelings that like telling a fan of goth and horror to like their room after you fill it with bunnies and rainbows

[@tristanmilner9511]

"Trixie as a main character. Where did that come from." *points towards Sethio from Equestria Daily* Maybe from that guy?

[@applegeek2597]

I wish Sethisto did reactions, because I'd love to see what his reaction was to Trixie's performance in this! XD

[@vidyayashod9801]

WOW, DISCORD IS ACTUCALLY PROTECTIVE OVER FLUTTERSHY LIKE SHE IS HIS OWN DAUGHTER

[@olibii_]

My thoughts for season seven: starlight becomes alicorn she goes to canterlot and becomes Luna and twilights aprentice. Also celestial DOING SOMTHING

[@galaxygirlblackheart6805]

34:32 I get it! 😂 When you say you are "beside yourself", it's actually an idiom that means overcome with worry or anger; distraught. 😂 Discord meant both the idiom and literal meaning of "he was beside himself".

[@ccarm5393]

I love how thorax when he got his new form he was trying to use magic when chrysalis came out of the rocks and both of his horns were glowing and I just thought that was really cool

[@Kelaiah01]

I don't know if anybody else has already pointed this out, but regarding the Changelings new forms, I found something on Television Tropes: -The Changelings' transformation has a subtle bit of this-when they're starved for love, they're scrawny little things with a sickly color scheme and pores in their bodies that make them look as though they're literally wasting away. In their new, reformed appearance, where they no longer feed on love nor are starved for it, the pores disappear, they have much brighter and healthier looking color schemes and their bodies are much more strongly built. Their new forms are full, their old forms are starving. -The Changelings quickly accepting Thorax's method makes a lot of sense when you remember one thing: they were literally starving all the time. Of course they'd jump at the chance to finally be full. -Another reason, in addition to the above, is it's implied Chrysalis conditioned the Changelings to be absolutely loyal to their queen... which worked fine when she was the only Changeling Royal, but once Thorax turned into what seems to be another Changeling Royal, they have a choice. Combined with the above, them jumping ship to Thorax makes much more sense. So yeah. That helped make sense of their new forms. :)

[@funnysutts8980]

you do not know how much laughter came from me and my sister from the episode in general and your reaction

[@slvrrgld9]

Twilight: "LET ME COME WITH YOU TO THE VILLAGE Starlight: "Nah fam, Trixie is better"

[@zalla6612]

Oh, Twilight let the butt hurt begin! I've always wanted Trixie to do something big and now I got it!! This is the best season finale yet. Someone call the exorcist! Chrysalis i possessed.

[@pokipwet_]

Hellooo it's me again and writing this comment while watching (like always), so prepare to read something as big as a house ^^ First, I'm pretty sure the tittle refers to There and Back Again (Bilbo Baggin's adventures) Part 1 : Derpy has straight eyes at 3:26 but I'm pretty sure it's on purpose. You know when cartoon charaters fall, their eyes mismatch and spin in every direction, well Derpy's eyes work otherwise ^^ I think the changelings taking ponyville was a bit rushed. I don't rally know for how long GlimGlam and Trixie was gone, but still, wow, they were super effective ! Okay, you were pretty scray when Thorax said the changelingss took Flurry Heart xD I loved when Discord got upset because of Flusttershy being kidnapped, (should we say ponynapped ? ^^) Yeah, pretty awsome team, you're right (Trixiiiiiiie !

[@blingblingboy5439]

PokiPwet How long did it take u to write this?

[@pokipwet_]

Sweetie Belle You don't wanna know xD (55minutes I guess. I mean, most of my comment follows the progression of the video,and I posted it before I watched the whole thing. So yeah, 55 minutes seems pretty accurate ^^ )

[@thelightningbrony4745]

+PokiPwet Wow.. Can you even make these comments any shorter? This is NOTHING XD I once made 111 comments on a EQG reaction. The comment took me 6 hours to write AND ended up being so long that I had to split it up into two because KZbin couldn't post a comment that long XD (It was Knight Stone-Fist's reaction if you are curious). P.S. I have no life XD

[@skukamaanbackupchannel3166]

The Lightning Brony yeah just like meh!

[@Takisan111]

Thank you! Finally someone gives the reaction I wanted at Thoraxs and Discords arrival. I've been through a few other reactions and most are simply "Oh look at that. Neat." Blech, it's such a dull response to such a glorious scene. Several even just randomly chattered through Discords rage, missing it completely. How does one ignore Angry Discord? It's simply not done!

[@poptheartist]

23:51, sounds like he's calling out to an owl

I died when discord got pissed they took fluttershy my heart aggghhhhhhh i needed this XD

EW!

[@UnselfishServiceTheater]

Watching your reactions is a whole lot of fun!

[@jagirl966]

I love ur reaction to when Discord appears. u look at the can, put it away, but go back for another sip. also, ur reaction to when Discord finds out Fluttershy has been pony napped

[@fredrickjoseph8596]

Discord is in love with fluttershy awwwwwww so adorable.😄

[@flameycomet4417]

I like how discord did not care about all THE MOST IMPORTANT PONYS IN EQUESTRIA WHER PONY NAPED until Starlight mentioned Fluttershy was also taken.Discord just got all pissed off.

[@jackreaper1217]

+Kuco-fan Yes it was the best season finale and ummm i think the only villian left is Chrysalis ....

[@jackreaper1217]

***** Tirek has already been defeated umm maybe new one will come in season 7 this will be great :D we are now having low number of villians :(

[@oly2818]

23:15 *Angery Discord*

[@luffyiscool]

How'd you upload this without a worldwide block? Or did you just appeal it?

[@NerfStrangerX]

it worked for me too first and just yesterday i got a strike and it got deleted from youtube :/

[@luffyiscool]

That's because the first set of claims aren't reviewed by people, it's robots. Like when my Zootopia reaction was taken down. But I appealed the strike, and because that relies on human interaction, the video is now back up forever. So I'd just appeal the strike and get the video back, although you have to wait for roughly 2 weeks.

[@MyTonita]

NerfStrangerX sad. I tried to watch yours before this. Liek if u Cri evrytim.

[@applegeek2597]

Oh goodie. I wake up to alarm bells about copyright strikes. No, I didn't appeal anything, it hasn't gotten blocked. I released Top Bolt early as well, and Hasbro just monetized it, so I had no idea this one would be a problem. It doesn't make any sense either. I see at least a couple other reactions that have been up for several days, as well as the full length episodes themselves on KZbin. Why are those not getting strikes too? Anyway, guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

[@luffyiscool]

Thanks :)

[@anacleos345]

Discords reaction to finding out Flutershy was taken

[@bursegsardaukar]

22:16 “OK. Now it’s personal!” You and me both. I hated Chrysalis ever since the Canterlot Wedding episode when she made Twilight cry.

[@dmclegg66]

congrats Twilight your now officially a Princess you've been captured and had to be rescued by your student.

[@christiantwist3360]

Yep

[@Edward256]

I knew the fandom would explode, and I was not disappointed! XD Derpy is now a full fledged Mail Mare (shake from straight to wall-eye, opposite from the norm), Trixie is in the thick of it... Oh yeah, you didn't expect to see Discord in this, but like he says: "Whenever someone talks about powerful ponies in Equestria, they tend to forget about me" ... But to be technical, he ain't a pony. ;) Though it would've been fun to have an episode where Discord meets Starlight (a very interesting meet to be sure), in a sense they have met before... A: Starlight was spying on him as Twilight was trying to unravel the mystery of the weekend she missed out on. B: Discord is omniscient enough to have figured out who these new characters are... Actually, his omniscience may actually come from the letters from Fluttershy. But still, if one side already knows about the other, not much of a meeting, or? More like a comic strip... And speaking of, Discord x Fluttershy Confirmed! Though two things missing in this Finale: A song and those Elements leaking out into the Human world! Well, maybe we'll get to those in Season 7... And one other thing... For some reason I didn't quite like about Luna in some parts. Mostly the beginning and end. There was something.... Different... Off... Can't put a finger on it...

[@applegeek2597]

Hmm, good point about Starlight already knowing about Discord from back in What About Discord, totally skipped my mind. Still though, would've been fun to have an episode that was focused on just the two of them. I actually heard that Discord was supposed to be in the story book world in A Hearth's Warming Tail, but that scene ended up getting cut, most likely due to time constraints.

[@Daemon_Belial]

I love how your first thought about the spot in the distance was a Changeling XD YES, yes it is! The world is ready for the birth of the new shipping that is Discord X Trixie! That was what you were thinking, right? ;P

[@jaeyrl]

I read your description and the reason why this video is so popular is because people have been waiting for this reaction for a long time and so many people love you

[@Nazo-kage]

There and back again a Hobbit's by Bilbo Baggins

Awesome idea.

Yup.

[@allenpaluszewski4030]

I believe that the Writers of the show read Miss DisneyFanatic2643's "Daughter of Discord" fic

[@thelightningbrony4745]

+Allen Paluszewski That scene where Discord gets pissed over the changelings having ponynapped Fluttershy reminded me a lot of the scene where Discord protected Fluttershy against a Timberwolf in the last episode of "Bride of Discord".

[@allenpaluszewski4030]

Cool Have you seen the Season 6 Finale yet? So far the UK has only shown it, not in the USA yet. If you have seen it? I would like your opinion of a fic I just wrote up about it? Let me know if you would like to read it and give me you honest opinion of it.

[@thelightningbrony4745]

Allen Paluszewski I've seen the season 6 finale about 2-4 times now :) And sure! Just tell me what the Fanfic is called and I'll go read it :) (It is on FimFiction right? If so my username is "Vupsi")

[@allenpaluszewski4030]

www.fimfiction.net/story/349646/starlights-report This is my 1st attempt. Be a Fluttershy and be the Element of Kindnes to me. :-)

[@thelightningbrony4745]

Allen Paluszewski Okay :)

[@gkoh7503]

I thought it was an okay ending to season 6. Thankfully, we have another full season next year along with three Equestria Girls specials. What I'm hoping for Season 7 is: 1) A Parent Appreciation Day special for Twilight's parents. 2) Another episode revolving around the background characters. 3) A Space adventure episode ala Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. etc. Speaking of Equestria Girls, damn the people who removed it.

[@booklover4330]

What I want for season 7 A Celestia centered episode; Luna's my favorite Princess, but I would love a Celestia episode; maybe she could spend the day with Twilight or something if the writers didn't want an episode just focused on her? More Scootaloo episodes; either focused on her family (finally) or something else about Scootaloo. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon episodes; maybe along with the rest of the CMC? We've got nothing about Diamond Tiara since she was redeemed; except a few moments of her in the background. Some ponies/creatures coming back that we met this season, and maybe previous seasons? Not Cheese Sandwich since I don't really see him coming back, but other ponies maybe. More world building episodes via the map; and maybe not even just the map? An episode where Twilight and maybe the others babysit Flurry Heart? Or maybe Flurry Heart and the Cake babies? More character development for Starlight of course. Even though the CMC thought that their sisters, or Sister figure in Scootaloo's case figured that they wouldn't be allowed to go to different places because they were too young I would love episodes where they do go places, even if that means them going with another member of the mane six. So for instance Scootaloo could go say with Fluttershy, or Sweetie Belle could go with Rainbow or something like that; switch it up a bit. I doubt that this would happen but I would love it if Starlight could be called by the map as well. More Discord episodes; we only had two this season (although I suppose you could count three including both episodes of the finale, but I count the finale as one episode). More great Spike centered episodes! Spike was great in this season and I hope that we don't go back to terrible Spike episodes. A freaking episode where Zecora has lines! Seriously she was in like two episodes this season I think, and she didn't even have a speaking role! I figured that the writers would wait for the finale to give her speaking roles; since they did it last season, but nope! No speaking Zecora.

[@gkoh7503]

A Cthulhu mythos finale where Twilight must faced a Lovecraftian Horror villain.

[@jhettgreene8994]

What I'm hoping for Season 7: 1. Celestia episode. 2. More Discord episodes (obviously) 4. An episode in which Celestia and Discord are leads. That'll be fun ;) 5. Return of Gilda, Gabby, or Thorax in a major role. 6. Spike's real parents. 7. The darkest season premiere/finale so far ;) 8. And lastly, a death (implied, offscreen, etc.) to REALLY up the ante, in said premiere/finale.

[@gkoh7503]

A Superhero episode where Batgirl arrives in Ponyville and Tara Strong reprises her role to help the Mane 6 fight a villainous Mare Do Well.

[@clairebrown7878]

I LOVE UR REACTION WHEN DISCORD SHOWS AND SAME WITH WHEN DISCORD ASKS WHERE FLUTTERSHY IS XD IMMMA SUBBING

[@LuciannaDeCelio]

I definitely think the Changlings were corrupted Flutter Ponies but with more of an insectoid reimagining. Honestly, I really liked their new designs. To me it felt like the designs were inspired by Jewel Beetles & that made them seem more exotic to me.

[@Hyjynxed]

18:02 I lost it Lmao Also I love to inform coming back to watch old episodes as anniversary to the closing of the show it will be belovedly Missed

THEY TOOK FLUTTERSHY?! WHERE

[@andyreacts]

Wow, this was a beautiful reaction. So much love and passion showing. Really enjoyed it.

[@geogamr2493]

11:42 If you pay close attention, Pinkie’s bounce noise is a little distorted. Once you hear it, you can’t unhear it. Also, the way that Chrysalis assigned her drone changelings for this is clever. With Pinkie, you can immediately tell something’s off, but it could just be chalked up to Pinkie acting strange. At the other end of the spectrum, it takes the longest to realize something’s off about Twilight. The more important the ponies get, the harder it is to tell something’s off. That’s really smart on Chrysalis’s part.

[@lilykonczal5053]

u know if AJ is eating a pear it's a changeling

[@flowercursed3073]

Wait? Since Thorax is the new leader of the changelings what/where is Chrysalis going to go/do now?

[@WadeBarrett97]

We're gonna find out in season 7.
