Oh god....

I would just leave it at that, but this was a horribly done episode in just about every way possible.

1) The conflict is introduced and resolved literally in the first ten minutes, and then the next quarter of the episode is that true true friends song.

2) What did the corrected spell do? I mean Twilight fixed the problem before she completed the spell. We See Big Mac helping at the farm, so not every pony was affected, meaning fixing the spell wasn't creating a cure. Was it the spell that turned her into an Alicorn? That's a bizzare stretch of going from switching around everyone's Cutie Marks to turning someone into an Alicorn. That also seemed doubtful as Celestia seemed completely unsurprised by the change, as if she was expecting it.

3) Where the hell did the Princess thing come from? There was no set up for it not only this entire season, but not even in the episode. It's just 'Well, you're a princess now cause you earned it'.

4) This seems to be a problem with Season 3 as a whole is their inability to utilize any of the ponys. The whole episode all any of the main 6, outside of Twilight, manage to do is so bare bones. Rarity makes clothes, Apple Jack farms apples, Fluttershy takes care of animals, Pinkie pie throws a party, Rainbow Dash kicks some clouds. None of them get to do anything outside of the most basic aspect of their character.

5) That was to many songs. At the 10 minute mark there had been four songs. The only reason they were really here was to pad the episode out.


So yes, I find this worse then the Season 2 Finale.
