Was I the only one hoping Twi or Starlight would sneeze when Twi was pulling out all those visibly dusty books?

I'm torn about this episode.  It is probably the first episode where I felt it ended without solving anything.  They didn't solve their problem, but got to hear ONE good result from their actions.  Not sure what I think.  Hmmm.  6/10.

I liked the premise of this episode, but feel it was done wrong in execution.  I didn't actually like this episode.  I think this episode will get people to choose sides of like or dislike, plus a lot of people torn down the middle.

This episode could be seen as metaphor of the who's best pony argument. I don't feel the conflict was resolved and nothing good came from all of this.  They couldn't finish telling it all in 22 minutes.  It just had this big climax then nothing happened after that.  It's almost like they wanted to force a song to solve everything, then thought, that was silly, then didn't know what to do afterward. I hate to do this, but I didn't enjoy this episode much, and I wanted to coming into it.

3/10.

Hmmm.  Sort of my dilemma with this episode too.  This whole episode could have not existed and I would have been fine with it.  Now it is official that their journals are available for ponies to read, and everyone will now forever view the Mane 6 differently.  It sort of downgraded their status. 

Didn't like what the writers for this episode were doing.  It just seemed all pointless because absolutely nothing was accomplished. 

We went from one of the best episodes ever to the one of the most puzzling.

I'm right down the middle of this episode.  But I feel it was kind of dumb.  It also showed how truly horrible ponies are in Equestria.  It really isn't a pony perfect wonderland.  Ponies are rude and quite frankly buttholes.  They don't even listen to their authority in Twilight.  Twilight showed poor leadership in this episode.  Her intentions were good, but she didn't know enough about what she was getting into.

I was very meh about this episode.  If someone liked it, I would love to know what they liked about it. :)  5/10.

It felt like this episode was jabbing at the fandom too... but it wasn't done well.  I don't think they even knew what they were trying to write about.

It is very possible this was a big middle finger to the fandom too.  But I think that would be too extreme to assume that.

It was a pointless episode.  Still leaving it at 6/10.

Also how did they manage to do all that without SPIKE in it even once? ;D  Lol.

A life lesson I've learned many years ago. No worries. ;p
