I'm really looking forward to this just based off the synopsis.  Plus I liked the last camping episode.  Wonder how Rarity will take to the camping though this time around?

Pretty good episode. The stories the characters told each other were enjoyable.

Also liked RD and Scoots acting like sisters. :3

I found it to be a pretty cute episode, but it wasn't really that spectacular either.  It was good and passable. I just wish it had more depth to it, it felt a bit lacking.  But it wasn't bad.  So it gets a 7/10.

My opinion it'd be a 5/10

Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Campfire Tales"

The episode just lacked any depth.  it was quite a let down.  They could have made something of it, but all the stories were too short to have any real depth behind them, and anytime shown with the main characters just seemed so acted and scripted.  5/10.

Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Campfire Tales"

I wanted to like the episode but it was just of filler.  It had cute moments, but like a few before me said, it just lacked.  The were no MEAT in any of this.  The stories had nice little morale messages, but I felt no real connection because it was so quick.  The episode actually felt like it went by very quickly too. That ending was weirdly rushed too, since we never even knew that was their planned final destination until it happened.

I would have much rather watched these "sisters" all hang out and do camping stuff.  So it wasn't a bad episode like we've had in the past, it just wasn't particularly interesting.  It didn't raise the bar or add anything to the series.  We could have been just as good without this episode ever airing, which is a shame because it was nice to see Dash be sisterly to Scoots.  6/10

I will give the episode a 6/10.  I agree with pretty much what was already said.  It lacked.

Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Campfire Tales"

6/10 is a good score for this episode.

It is strange because sometimes you get truly bad episodes.  This episode just wasn't bad, but it was a squandered opportunity which... well... is very disappointing.  There are only so many episodes left of the MLP:FiM series, and it is a shame to see episodes like this wasted. 

5/10.

Lacking.  This episode was severely lacking.  It had a great opportunity but just squandered it into a really lackluster episode.  Very un-season 7 like.

I give it a 5 out of 10.

I was excited for this episode when I read the synopsis but was pretty disappointed.  The short stories were too short and it was just a very frustrating episode overall.  No real development.  This episode could have no have existed and we would have been just fine.  Like that ending, how the what?  So random. :P  5/10.

Such a disappointing episode.  It was very MEH and did nothing to progress anything.  Just a filler episode. :P  The stories were too short to have any real meaning to depth behind them. 5.
