It's reviews like these that make me realise I'm now a pretty casual fan of the show.
ReplyDeleteI dunno... I think it's just the Starlight factor for the most part. There are still more positive than negative reviews to this one. :)
DeleteThis is not a best Starlight episode ever, but an episode that Starlight actually needed.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably my favourite "good Starlight" episode. My favourite overall is still "The Cutie Map", though.
DeleteActually, no: "A Hearth's Warming Tail" comes in higher, though that's fantasy Starlight.
