I read this synopsis totally wrong.  I first read it that Starlight and Sunburst had a ton in common and she wanted to pursue further.  I was all excited that there might be a relationship building... then I read it again.

[spoiler]Starlight over does things a lot.  It is a good character flaw.  I am glad they made it a ongoing part of her character.

[spoiler]Wow, they ended the episode hinting at something for the next episode?  Very neat!  Foreshadowing.

Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uncommon Bond"
Post by: Rainberry on 2017-10-21 22:42:46

So what did I think of this episode? 

Lets start out that we got see many great characters return and have good roles.  This episode didn't do anything extreme and was very weighted and down to earth.  I really enjoyed that.  It was slower pace and used a different set of humor and storytelling in it.  We got to see the characters truly being themselves and have real world dilemmas, one that I totally related too.  We got lots of new scenery and locations and the episode seemed very well animated with many different angles which was neat.

I would have to say this was one of the top episodes of the season.  It didn't scream out loud this was the best episode, but it did it in a rather simple, almost boring sort of way.  It's hard to explain.  Hopefully you will understand what I am saying when you watch it.

I give it a definite 9/10. Season 7 has been awesome!

Great episode, lots of funny (and cute) moments, and does talk about problems I could also relate to.

I’d give it a 9 too. :)

I didn't really know what to expect coming in to this story but it turned out delightful and had a great message that older people can relate too.  The characters were spot on.  I loved seeing how everyone interacted.  It reminded me more of a calming Saturday morning cartoon, but I really liked that change of pace.  It was totally a slice of life.

I'm surprised, but this episode is going to get top marks from me. 9/10.

A third good episode in a row... or is this fourth?  I need to watch this.  :)

^ I like that scene and how happy she is at wrong cards, lol.  So innocent looking.

Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Uncommon Bond"
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2017-10-22 16:41:15

AND YES!  It is absolutely true, another rocking episode that does everything right except action, because there IS NO ACTION!  It's a peaceful jaunt through the life of Starlight!  And it was a really enjoyable episode that earned a top five spot for me for the season, and possibly series.  I liked the different pacing and really just enjoyed the characters being themselves in this.  Starlight still makes silly choices, but they used this flaw for the right reasons in her character!  No one is perfect after all.

You ready for this?  10/10.  To me this episode hit everything right and it was probably one of my favorites this season for sure.

This was a really good episode.  I liked it.  Like everyone else said, it sort of has a slower, more routine pace to it, but I really liked it. Starlight was cute, Sunburst was clueless, Trixie was cute, even Maud had just the right amount of time!  I really liked it.  9/10.  Great episode and a very strong ending so far to season 7.  Whole season has been very strong except for just a few episodes.

Such a cute episode.  Sunburst and Starlight were great, but the best part was Sunburst talking to other characters like Maud, like Twilight, and like Trixie.  All very cute moments. 9.
