Okay, I am finally ready. Crap is still happening but the review is largely finished. I just want your input on the next thread. Twibooru has been having issues.

> Friendship Is Magic, where I sort of cheated by giving the two-parter one overall score in contrast to your separated scores for each part, 
I don't count that as cheating. I think both scoring schemes are justified. It is arguably one experience and one story, scoring it as a whole makes sense. THOUGH, also, scoring it as an individual segments also makes sense as each is technically a separate episode. 

>  I've thought of a comparison, bizarre as it might be, to my feeling when watching that episode and getting a glimpse into the world before the show changed it, and that comparison is to The Phantom Menace. Now, I personally rate Star Wars enjoyment-wise a lot lower than MLP, but it was the first media I ever engaged with (aged 3!) 
No, I get that. Actually, not quite the same, but growing up with Star Wars I had an interest the not very well covered inbetween and before period of Episode 1 to Episode 2, the period just before Episode 1, and the 20 years in between Episodes III and IV. Because of both a slight mystery and... uh, a comfy and haunting this of what other people where doing and things not fully in focus. 

> so it's something I have a lot of thoughts about even if I'm a lot less attached to that franchise
Love to here them sometime.
