Turned into a good episode.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"
Post by: Soda on 2019-04-13 12:40:13
It was pretty weak to start, but got much better.

I wish they would have ended the show continuing the instrumental music they were using instead of jumping into the outdo theme, lol.

Good episode.  Not the best, but it salvaged a good end.  8/10.

Was not expecting that beginning so far.

Post by: FoxTail on 2019-04-13 21:57:09
Well I wonder what the Y6 will do here.  They've all been called in to help the Tree of Harmony.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"
Post by: FoxTail on 2019-04-13 21:58:33
Well this is nice Twi is letting them go see it.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"
Post by: FoxTail on 2019-04-13 21:58:49
Surprised she didn't go with them.  Might be something bad there.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"
Post by: FoxTail on 2019-04-13 22:00:21
Okay... so it is actually the tree contacting them?  Seems weird still.  Kind of fishy.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"
Post by: FoxTail on 2019-04-13 22:02:48
Well they all have opposing views.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"

I don't think this will end well for them.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"

I feel like this plot has been done a billion times.

I'm not sure who's idea I like better.  I would probably combine parts of all of them.

Uh oh, this isn't good.  They are arguing.

They should be listening to Yuna here.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"
Post by: FoxTail on 2019-04-13 22:08:00
Oh wow, they ruined the entire memorial.  This is not what the tree would have wanted.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"
Post by: FoxTail on 2019-04-13 22:08:23
They need to come together and act like friends again.  Somewhere along the way, all their good intentions made them lose sight of what they were there to do. 
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"
Post by: FoxTail on 2019-04-13 22:09:43
Well Yuna is right.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"

After a cute song montage, they have created a... oh.  That isn't as good as I thought it would look.

It's super cute how they had that upper angle on Twilight and she walked forward in shock and confusion!
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"
Post by: FoxTail on 2019-04-13 22:13:13
So it was a good episode, but it wasn't the best.  I would saw the second half was much better then the first half. 

7/10.

Post by: LovesSneezingApparently on 2019-04-14 05:28:48
Uhh. You know that episode where they tried to spruce up the Castle of Friendship? I think we just watched it again.

I did like the intro a lot. ‘Clever little scenario.

Post by: Silverwing on 2019-04-14 11:56:34
I felt like we've seen this before but it made up at the end with a pretty good ending.  But since it has been done before, I will give this a 7/10.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"
Post by: Blurr on 2019-04-14 22:28:02
Okay. I saw the episode finally. And that song..............about loss and carrying on what you have in your heart. Seeing as how this is the final season that hit me. Damn I love this show.

Amazing how this show still has it and continues to "do it" to us on a regular basis.

Post by: MasterXtreme on 2019-04-17 14:06:14
I will give this a firm 7/10.  It was just okay.  Like you guys said, the ending was the best part but it just can't surpass that "we've seen this before" feeling through 60% of the episode.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2019-04-18 14:33:14
8/10 for me.  I liked the story and the situations that happened.  The music was nice too.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"
Post by: Kiwi on 2019-04-18 16:05:15
I found this to be an extremely average episode.  Yes it had a song and a rather important plot point occur, but they wrapped it up in such samey averageness from the beginning half of the episode.  I was disappointed a bit.  I am not the biggest fan of the Young six to begin with and this just further added to that.

6/10.

Eh, I didn't think it was too bad of an episode. I enjoyed it. Some parts felt a little... contrived, but it was still decent.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uprooted"
Post by: Grapefoot on 2019-05-03 16:06:56
It was a decent episode, but currently the weakest of the season in my opinion.

7/10.
