WHAT!?  We’re not gonna have ponies to talk about for a couple of months!?  HERESY!!  First Sailor Moon Crystal is ending its first season and now this!?  What will become of me without magical girls and magical ponies to talk about!?!?  NO!  I CANNOT LET THIS GET ME DOWN!!  I HAVE A JOB TO DO HERE AND I’M GONNA GIVE IT MY ALL!!!  So how do they decide to end this half of the season?  Why with a Luna episode of course!  Everyone’s favorite princess gets the spot light this week as we find out more about what’s going on inside her head and the trouble it causes for everyone else!  Will we get another classic episode like Luna Eclipsed, Bloom & Gloom, For Whom the Sweetie Belle Tolls, and several others, or will we get another bad one like… huh.  Actually, I don’t think she’s HAD a bad episode.  There were episodes where she was underutilized for sure, but never one that was bad.  Well THAT’S certainly a good sign, but can they keep up the trend in this episode!?  Let’s find out!!

The episode begins with the Mane 6 barreling down the halls of the Castle of the Two Sisters, clearly looking for something with the utmost of haste.  Their goal seems to be Princess Luna who’s standing in the main hall of the castle and seems to be expecting their arrival.  While waiting, a small cloud of star energy or whatnot appears behind her, and Luna address it as Tantibus and lets it know she’s ready for whatever happens next.

Super Recaps: My Little Pony season 5 (Amending Fences)

We’re back with another episode of Politics is Magic!  Well not so much THIS time considering that Twilight almost started a war last week and a riot the week before, so she’s gonna take some time off from being one of Equestria’s highest ranking officials.  Just let the dust settle before she accidentally strains diplomatic relationships with the dragons or whatever.  Instead, Twilight is going to tackle some personal problems that she left hanging back in Canterlot and has resolved to fix now that she’s not fighting monsters or putting doubt in the monarchy at the moment.  Not a bad idea considering how much time Twilight spent in Canterlot before she moved to Ponyville at the begining of the series!  Will we get a fascinating look into her life before coming to Ponyville or will they drop the ball on yet another really interesting idea that was only half thought out?  I’m looking at YOU Lost Treasure of Griffonstone!  Anyway, Let’s find out!!

The episode begins with us learning that Spike continues to do domestic chores for Twilight despite them living in a GIANT CASTLE which would be impractical to maintain with a single person, let alone a still developing child.

“I sure hope those harsh chemicals don’t stunt my growth!”     “Me too Spike, but let that keep you from making those floors sparkle!”
