These are cool either way, but out of curiousity, did you take these pictures? They're very well shot if so!

Quite so, well put. I think earlier in the show's history there was more of an emphasis on demonstrating how the show was good, so as to defend one's interest in it back when it was much more weird and unprecedented to be an adult fan of the show, but nowadays I feel that I just enjoy the whole package. There are bad things which I enjoy not even as "so-good-they're bad", but just earnestly as they were meant to be enjoyed - my example would be Mighty Orbots, which I don't think is a good show by any means, except in terms of it's animation, yet I still enjoy it earnestly and without irony for what it is. In the same vein, although MLP is, by now I think, undoubtedly and uncontestedly a good show, I still ALSO like the parts that are plotholey and such without apology.

> Ep3, The Ticket Master – 6.5
I rewatched this again just this morning, before I set off to work, which I will do five minutes from now. Rewatching it, I definitely enjoyed it more than a 6.5, but I think that's probably the trouble with this show, most of the episodes I'll want to rate quite highly. But maybe I should just go with that so that, should an episode come up in later seasons that I truly dislike, it demonstrates how far off the mark it is for me. 
Who knows, but I feel like it's more like a 7.5 at least. Even though I only watched it a few months ago, it's already better than I remember it!
