Disclaimer: I liked the episode, I just didn't think it was as good as expected.
Here's why.
Way about half a Jahr ago, at a pony convention, I'm sure most if not all of Du are aware of the animatic that was shown there; the animatic for the premiere song of this episode: "I'm just a pony."
linkNow, that was a RAW version of the song. untouched Von any final edits as far as I knew.
In that raw form, however, there was a VAST amount of emotion behind it. It felt powerful, it felt pure, it was simply amazing.
And that right there sums up why I wasn't too invested into this episode: It didn't live...
