Episode 1: Mare in the moon discussion

[Crona The Critic]

Twilight Sparkle, a student of Equestia's ruler, Princess Celestia, is tasked with supervising a special event in Ponyville and to make some friends in the process. There, she meets fellow ponies Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy. However, she is too focused on trying to prevent an ancient prophecy involving an evil pony who was sealed within the moon 1000 years ago, and would return during the "longest day of the thousandth year".

EVERYONE CELEBRATE THE EPISODE THAT GOT IT ALL STARTED!!!

Though... I'll admit I was skeptical watching this one....

But the show got me! and next thing I know I'm spending an enormous amount of money on a custom Derpy Hooves plush from an artist in england!

I honestly did not like it at all the first time I saw it.

Now that I re-watch it,

I am happy I continued.

Oh most definitely.

[Gummy]

ahh, this is where it all began :')

Not the strongest episode at all but a solid start to the series, good for introducing all the mane 6!

I was actually hooked by this episode. Probably because it was not what I expected at all.

I definitely wasn't hooked here, it just seemed like the beginning to a kids show, but I kept going because there was obviously some reason people watched it. If I handn't I wouldn't be here now.

[Permafrost]

This episode kept my interest, but now that I have watched the other episodes I can see this is not one of the greater episodes.

[Pinkie Pie]

When I first watched it, I was like eh, I had gotten it for free on my ipod from the hasbro website, and i didn't really watch it until I was really bored one night...
I like the background images in this episode though.

I started with this episode and it really didn't hook me into the show. However, now that I am into the show, I look back at this episode and like to formulate theories and debates with my friends about it.

[Pinkie Pie]

There's so much back story that's missing!! The possibilities could be ENDLESS!

My thoughts exactly :O

[Rainbow Dash]

Well, I was actually hooked after I saw this episode. When I heard about the show, I assumed it would be a group of however many ponies doing stereotypical girl stuff. Just like the other generations of My Little Pony. However, I knew the second that Twilight decides to study instead of go to a party that this was different. The rest is history.

[Crona The Critic]

Don't even speak of the old generations.

They do not deserve the new MLP.

[Rainbow Dash]

Well, I worded that bad. What I meant to say is that the other generations ARE stereotypical girl stuff, and I didn't like that.

[Derpy Hooves]

I often react the same way, especially when people try to talk to me negatively about what I watch by referencing them, but you must remember that there are fans of both FiM and the previous generations out there, often some of the best artists and custom pony maker/painters are fans of the older generations, and they simply have more experience with the subject overall, and more time working with the toys.

EDIT: Oh WOW look at that run-on sentence, I have to relearn my comma usage rules.
