So 4Chan has a "list" of the Season 6 episodes. It's most likely fake but again someone did manage to reveal all of Season 5 back in April. So what do you all think?

!
! I have no predictions for Most Excellent Princess…. I just want to point out that it's an amazing reference.
! Fall For The Cutie sounds like another shipping episode like 'Hearts And Hooves Day' and 'Simple Ways'. A small part of me really hopes that Cheese Sandwich and Pinkie will hook up.
! Out Of This World carries two possibilities for me: Discord's ability to open the fabric of reality and step into other dimensions, or a subtle title referring to Applejack's dead parents.
! Royal Guard makes me believe Twilight will be hanging out with Shining Armor, to balance out the Cadence episode of season 4.
! Everfree Caverns sounds like an amazing action/adventure episode. Predicting that this will be one of my favourites.
! Fear And Clothing In Las Pegasus is a fantastic reference, and will no doubt be a Rarity episode. I assume that Las Pegasus will be added to the list of towns she's made a splash in.
! Uncle Spike makes me think that Shining Armor and Cadence's baby will go on a perilous crawl like the movie "Baby's Day Out". Spike will be the only one on hand to keep it safe.
! Element Of Courage makes me think Sunset Shimmer. I will probably cry in happiness if that turns out to be the case.
List was fake
!
Damn, some of those titles were super good too…
Well, the new episode was
! Ok. The best thing about this episode was Twilight and her "studies". Oh and Twilight's freeze spell.
! Loved seeing the fight between the families. The musicians must've had a lot of fun with this!
It's kinda weird, I just wasn't feeling it this week.
This is a rare thing for me, but I really didn't care for this episode.
Not to the point of boredom or anything, but I just wasn't grabbed by anything at all.
Step 1: Tell everypony you're the princess of friendship
Step 2: ????
Step 3: Fighting ends
It was nice seeing Fluttershy NOT stay a doormat like a lot of the episodes do…... at the expense of Twilight being super awkward dumb. That and Twilight once again showing super mega deathicorn powers like freeze spells and almost-royal we voice.
I think it was nice showing that Twilight had gotten a bit too confident in her role as the Princess of Friendship. As for her magic, at least she had trouble with the spell.
With that said, i wish the show focused more on non-twilight magic at some point. Sometimes it feels like Twilight gets all the good stuff and the rest of the Unicorns are stuck with telekinesis, flashlight and the occasional spell. Remember how Rarity's specialty was finding gems? This goes a bit for the Earth ponies too - we very rarely see what makes them stick out from the ponies, and what we do see is more attributed to the Apple Family. We have all this awesome stuff with the Pegasus, so seeing the other two pony kinds stick out a bit would be fun.
But back to Twilight's magic, it does make me wonder about Starlight. She was freaking tearing off cutie-marks and replaced them - Twilight accidentally switched cutie marks and became an Alicorn Princess when she solved it. Starlight must be a very talented Unicorn.
I just wanted to fast forward the last episode (with Discord, despite I like him). The message in this episode was there from the beginning and just dragged the whole twenty minutes. And just like in the Discord episode, you knew what will happen in the recent episode. But maybe it's because I'm a Fluttershy fan or new characters or locations where involved. I admired this episode so much more.
Intentional or not, this was a really neat coincidence.

Great news. But dang, two years away?
And, of course, this will result in a lot of uncomfortable theater staff.
Preview for tomorrow's episode
!
I think I got seizure.
Welp, we're getting a new song, I think.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I caught up with the last couple episodes (I'm bad, I keep missing them), and they were good. I also HIGHLY approve of slipping in a Bob Ross reference.
What, no reaction to Rarity's Sea Pony costume?

It's a costume. A costume doesn't count as the real thing . . . . . . . yet.

I know it's probably a case of lol so random, but is there a reason why Discord goes plaid when going super fast? His Sonic Plaidboom?
Spoilers for new episode
! This felt like an episode that had planned something grand, but it didn't work. Rara and the Manager were rushed and forced, and the songs didn't impress me.
! At least Applejack and the general message was good. I don't think I'm capable of disliking Applejack.

Haven't seen the episode but I'd assume it means he went to Ludicrous Speed.
! It's a Spaceballs reference

! Nobody can dislike Applejack. Rarity is my favorite, but Applejack is a close second.
! I enjoyed the episode. I think the "Countess" part of Coluratura is a reference to Lady Gaga.
! I thought most of the episode was just alright. But I absolutely loved the music, Lena Hall has a great voice, and that alone probably put the episode a couple levels higher than I would have put it otherwise. I also really like RaRa's design.

I don't dislike Applejack, but she's probably my least favorite of the Mane Six.
Her or Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash for me. Although I don't know if "dislike" is the word, for any of the Mane Six. It's just "least favorite." It's funny, when I first started watching Pinkie Pie was my least favorite, but you can't watch Pinkie Pie for more than a few episodes before you fall in love with her.
My listing now goes as follows:
Rarity
Apple Jack
Pinkie Pie
Fluttershy
Twilight Sparkle
Rainbow Dash
! The song RaRa sang near the end is one of my favourites in the whole show.
What a voice too! This episode was a perfect send off for Amy.

it's funny, me going for the fashion diva but rarity is actually my favorite as well. I was sold on the "i'm not whining" episode. she's not dumb. she's witty and insightful. creative, hard working. willing to get her hooves dirty (despite hating it). and I just think she looks cool.
Derpy is best pony.
Yay, character rankings. For some shows like Steven Universe it's impossible for me to rank the characters. At least I'm able to do this with MLP.
Rarity
Fluttershy
Twilight/Pinky Pie
(CMCs, Zecora, Spike, Discord, Luna)
Apple Jack
Rainbow Dash
The order is basically the same since the first episodes I saw. And as Satsuki said above, there is no real dislike in here too. AJ is just plain boring to me and Rainbow was kind of a bully.
I want to like Granny Smith, but as a none native speaker I can hardly understand what she is saying.
Guys should I binge the episodes I've missed over my holiday break? I've missed over a month now.
Rainbow Dash
Fluttershy
Rarity
Pinkie
Twilight
Applejack
I don't dislike any of the Main 6….like the Straw Hats, I love them all, just in different amounts. Also RD has always been like top tier for me since the show began. (remember the matching avatars Shuhan and I once had?)

Hold on for one more week and the whole season is done!
Like pretty much everyone else, there's no character I find outright bad.
Applejack
Pinkie Pie
Fluttershy / Twilight / Rarity
Rainbow Dash
The thing I love the most with all characters is how each one of them offers a relatively unique inspiration for girls (and probably boys, too) watching the show. Twilight's allowed to be awkward and inexperienced when it comes to socializing with others. AJ is a farmer who's neither rude nor stupid and who enjoys doing girly things once in a while. RD encompasses pretty much every trait that are normally seen as bad in girls (at least in some places) - she's bold, outspoken, rude, a bit egotistical and a great athlete. Fluttershy's character brings out both morals about gaining courage but also that being shy, inverted and sometimes preferring some alone-time is perfectly normal. Pinkie is just plain fun and loves to be happy and make others happy.
Rarity (who is my favorite character conceptually) is probably the best example of a fashion centered character I've ever seen. Often today I feel like girly characters are stuck in a strange position, between the mainstream marketing and politically favored characterizations. The creators could have gone the conservative route and maybe her a selfish, snobbish fashion-centered chic with no good traits, but there was an equally big chance they'd be too "progressive" and remove her completely because "girly personalities are bad for girls". I know a lot of people who love fashion, jewelry, make up and the like, and they're all great, varied people. Rarity manages to represent that wonderfully, so even if she isn't my personal favorite character, I respect her a lot. Plus I love the whole spin on her fashion theme, with it being so focused on creativity and the process of creation. And even that being famous, always in the spot light - it's not necessarily a selfish thing, it's part of the entertainment and aesthetic business.
The key to Rarity is that she doesn't BUY the clothes, she MAKES them. Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen Rarity buy a single piece of clothing or jewelry. So she can not only indulge in fashion herself but she can help make everyone else fashionable. Element of Generosity.
Wow what a finale.
! Had a feeling Starlight was going to be redeemed. Loved all the different futures that transpired: the war against Sombra, Chrysalis taking over, Discord's silly future, Nightmare Moon's reign, The Flim Flam brothers destroying Ponyville, Tierek destroying Equestria. The ending scene group shot was nice.
Now to wait for Season 6.
! …Ehhh. Thought this finale was kinda weak to be honest. The alternate timelines were really cool, a neat way to bring back characters like Sombra and Chrysalis. Really wish they didn't go such a predictable route with Starlight though. Song at the end was ok, didn't really stand out to me, but I can forgive it for not matching up to the awesomeness we got from a professional singer the episode prior. And I did like that ending group shot.
! I suppose it was a fine pair of episodes, but I think it's on the low end when compared to other openers and finales.
! Overall, I really liked this finale. It was certainly different from the others, but that's exactly what I liked the most.
! My only complaint would be that Starlight's Past could've been better explored. We were given a brief scene, and that's it, done. We never really saw what she went through.
I also expected Trixie to take over the world. If the Flim Flam brothers could, then she can too.
! It's strange, because there were multiple other things I wasn't very happy with, like how Starlight is very similar to Twilight design-wise and how her whole theme of magic is the same. But if she ends up part of the Mane 6, or some support like Zecora, I'd still like it. Twilight has honestly gotten a bit… boring. It's like she's learnt everything she could learn, and the writers don't really know what to do now. So in comes Twilight 2.0. She may be similar, but if utilized right she could fill in what I feel Twilight has lacked, especially in regards to magic.
! We'll see. But overall I'm excited to see more of Starlight in the future.
! Also, bonus points for her name possibly (probably) being a reference to Starlight from Tales, and her voice actor being the same as Melody. That reveal made my day.
That was a nice ending. Not a BAM! ending, but a nice one.
! Starlight's redemption is something to be expected. She wasn't evil enough to be defeated/killed, so she was something that had to be redeemed. It came with a somewhat campy "make a friend!" speech, but that's what the show's about.
! I liked the "flow of time" arc of the episodes. That's always a fun theme to explore. And there were lots of little goodies to pick out in each world. For example: did anybody notice in King Sombra's world that Rainbow Dash had a METAL WING? Zecora also had a much more kickass "African Queen" look about her in Chrysalis's world. Things like that.
! But in the end . . . . . . . . I did not get my sea ponies. :sad:
So, when's Season 6?
! The first future's Rainbow Dash was pretty dang hardcore.
False wing, eye scar, missing a chunk of ear, etc. She was so fucked up.
Kinda surprised the show was allowed to do that.
! Looking back on it, the second future is pretty hardcore in its own right too.
! Fluttershy and Pinkie would have seriously tried to spear and murder Twilight if not for Zecora.
it gives me extra chills because we know of the existence of friendly & free thinking changelings like the one at Cranky's wedding.
This version of Fluttershy would still slit his throat in cold blood, and that's a scary thought .__.
! Maybe its pessimistic of me, bt I couldn't help but feel all those cool alternates were just fodder for toylines (that Hasbro may or may not take advantage of) similar to the way the Ninja Turtles had forest costumes and space costumes for a season.
! Also, neat as it was to get a villain rolecall and see everyone again, I think it would have worked better if we'd gotten a actual alternate timeline story with an actual start and resolution rather than half a dozen skits of no consequence. Cliche sure, but would have added some substance.
Saw it for myself and…yeah not a super huge fan of the season finale.
! As cliche was the alternative timeline thing was, it pretty much was the most interesting part of the finale and I kinda rather wish they did something greater with it. They had a good, simple premise already with the whole "little things" changing the timeline from Zecora; so I'd rather we had a villain that went back throughout time and messed up small/simple events here and there which could have made for a solid story arc which gradually led into each specific outcome. Heck, it would have made for an interesting puzzle to connect how certain aspects of the past led to a particular outcome.
It wan't "BAD" by any means, but I felt there was probably something even greater there that they could have tapped upon.
! Did anyone else notice that the giant skull on the map is there for every future except the one where there's nothing left but barren wasteland?
That creature must have been terrifyingly powerful.
I know it a bit late but im reviewing season 5 in you tube and I thought you should know:
Still my favourite moment of Brownies React so far.
Here's is our first teaser image from an upcoming episode of Season 6 from the MLP Facebook page:
!
! "There’s no doubt, friendship is the best thing ever. But friendBOATS are great too!! — Pinkie Pie
! Coming in Season 6: Pinkie Pie will discover that there’s nothing quite as fun as rowing a Swan Boat through Manehattan with best friends!! You get to see the city from new and different angles, and it’s a fun way to explore Equestria together!!"
! SWAN BOATS? I'm sorry, Swan Boats are from BOSTON. Not from Manehatten/New York! This is thievery!
! SWAN BOATS? I'm sorry, Swan Boats are from BOSTON. Not from Manehatten/New York! This is thievery!
! If there's a Duck Boat tour we riot
! SWAN BOATS? I'm sorry, Swan Boats are from BOSTON. Not from Manehatten/New York! This is thievery!
! Last time I checked, neither of those cities were populated by colorful talking magical ponies as well.
! AMEN. I didn't know you were from Boston.
! Not so much "from Boston" as "live an hour away south of Boston."
! Maybe the tour goes from Manehattan to Hosston?
