So, what do I have to conclude about my own thoughts about this?
It´s been a fun  day while watching and reviewing these episodes. I didn´t expect to enjoy them so much like the good old days.

Maybe it´s not the show what´s changed but my vision about it. Well, it has partially changed because the protagonists may not be the same all the time nor morals are written in the same way as the first seasons did, feeling so simple to write in the last two minutes of each episode.

I kind of felt discouraged to review or even watch them because I have had a complicated month and there hasn´t been a single day in which my mind felt like doing it, even less when my Wifi loads 1080p so slowly that it lags. I guess I have spent too much time for the community in my free time and not for myself and enjoy the root of it. 

Sometimes I even asked myself: why bother? I often wondered if I would feel forced by watching them, like an annoying task that I shouldn´t care or that consumes my time for nothing. Feeling tired or fed up of it. 

I was proved wrong, I am glad it went this way. I have been somewhat ill with a pallid face for these two days (maybe three) and I had no idea what to do. I decided to jump directly on this and I may have rediscovered what´s the show I love while sick and staying home after so much activity IRL. 

Season 8, while it may not have had the most memorable nor greatest episodes out there nor the most admired for the fandom, it sure delivered a strong 2nd half. Along with season 7, it delivered solid episodes in my opinion. There hasn´t been a point in which I have wanted to avoid them nor cringe, just have a nice time. Maybe my standards have set a low bar without noticing it, but I...cannot complain much about these. Maybe Yakity Sax if anything and it wasn´t that horrid as others said. 

No Non Compete Clause this time and they left the best for last. All the messages shown for the episodes reviewed hold a subtle yet deep lesson that one should take into account. All of this combined with adventures, challenges, comedy, lore and diverse interactions between the protagonists for each episode.

No matter what character they shoehorn in, they have made it like a natural development for the show. 

I am not getting paid for saying this and even when I look at the MLP logo, I question if MLP is all that great as people say, but here, I cannot prove that statement wrong. I wish it had a few better episodes in the 1st half but the 2nd half shows virtuous aspects from this show, as fresh as ever despite having 8 years on its back. 

Again, I have restored finally my faith and have a bit of time for myself. These thoughts are just improvised while watching them. 

I may reply to your thoughts as well and sorry for not giving any sign of life in this thread but I am finally here....ready for the finale and take it off with the top best and top worst episodes. 

That´s for the future but what has happened, won´t change. I have had a great time watching these 6 episodes and hopefully season 9 keeps that level of enjoyment.
