> I loved this episode. 
well, that sums up everything. Roll credits folks!  jk.

> I couldn't believe all they managed to put in there.
well, you sure will appreciate it much more whenever you read the tweets and how the actresses brought their ideas for the story and how the writers compiled them cohesively. Unlike the chaos from episode 100, this one was a fanservice from the VA team.

> I loved the plot twist with Luna and Spike as it actually caught me off guard 
everyone was actually surprised.We may be pretty late in the ride and you would think that MLP would never challenge the intellect from adult fans and get to impress anybody because of its predictability. Well, it turns out that we were wrong, MLP CAN bring surprises and pull off a great 4D chess plot twist from two characters that kind of felt overshadowed by others: Luna feeling like she is there but not doing anything important and Spike doesn´t always get all the credit that the mane 6 receive. 

That strategy was genuinely a bold move I must say. If somebody tells out there that MLP is predicable, that person definitely hasn´t checked this episode.

> the whole Spike moral caught me off guard
I kind of saw that when he drew the stars and had as much interest in that crown as Twilight did. Just that he hid pretty well that he created a 3rd faction by pretending to be a player inside Twilight´s team.

> I think this episode maybe of a higher quality than episode 100, but I'm not 100% sure on that till I check out 100 again. 
I have only watched it once but it controlled much more the fanservice.

> Only minor complaint I ca muster at this time is Spike ripping the balloon, but than again they have endangered themselves far worse and ponies in canon are pretty durable.
it´s Pinkie Pie, don´t question it. She is the only pony that has appeared above the stratosphere and has had the idea to use the cannon in order to get into the palace in the movie. 

> wonder if some of the concepts presented will never get brought up, but hey that's hardly counts as criticism of the episode.
who knows. This show is capable of doing anything they want at this point. 

> I liked the Castle Sweet Castle callback. 
huh, I didn´t notice this. 
> Applecord I guess is no longer the name of a certain obscure ship. 
the writers have twisted minds and use the shipping name for describing a new unknown past from AJ. 
> Royal Guard really sucks. Don't they? 
Is that new? Rainbow already said that they didn´t need the princesses for dealing with the villains. If the Royal Sisters are going to rely on real defense, the mane 6 do the job with much more success than the entire army of Canterlot.

they fired Zephyr Breeze for being incompetent but that´s relatively speaking, because they don´t do their services much better. The fanbase asked if Celestia was truly incompetent (in the first seasons) but I think that her guards are less reliable than the Team Rocket capturing a Pikachu for 2 decades.

> Use of Queen Chrysalis old thrown pleases me greatly, even as a minor element. (And I sort of did that in my Revolution Fic!) 
well, it seems that you are applying to be a seer. And yeah, I was quite surprised that they have used it for their own advantage.
