In my opinion it was a pretty good double episode and the first good season closer/opener they pulled off without a vilian. What is good because if they were to throw in a villian, he has to be significant and in order to acheve that you need to enbed him in the lore. And that's wonky business.



I think it had gone quite well, conisdering it's a pacyfist episode and I'm a warfare maniac, so I have to say it's a good episode that is good because it doesn't have weaknesses but isn't something extraordinary because we didn't see much over-the-top things. And that makes the episode very peaceful for a season opener. And then there was the Microscopic Changeling (I'll call him Micro).



The other thing that makes me squue is more lore abaut the Crystal Empire and it's inhabitants. And guess what? It supports my headcannon with the act of Crystaling that fills up a hole in my headcannon where I until now had ">>Insert pony baptism here<<<" and now I have the Crystaling. Awesome.



The only really bad thing abaut the episode was Flurry Heart's name. Why couldn't they just follow Faust's fooken notes and give us Skyla?



There's also one funny thing I noticed. Not long after the season 5 finale I stumbled on an image of adult Sunbeam performing an act of love with Starlight. He had the literally same facial hair like he has now in the show. As if a prophet had drawn that! XD
