Well even beyond the excitement of the episode being a gift to the fans I still thought it was worthy of it’s own right of being a solid episode. The moral at the end being probably the biggest reason why.

And that’s ok, there are actually alot of episodes of the show that I definitely say were good but it takes an extra something to really make me love an episode. Which is why out of an over 100 episode show (Or well a little less then that right now considering I included two-parters as one episode in the list. But it will be over 100 no matter how you look at it by the end of Season 5) I only have 10 personal favorites of the series.

I’m not saying people even have to agree with my personal favs. I know Canterlot Wedding for example has it’s haters that despise every little thing about the episode. But I’m not going to let them try to convince me to not include it as part of my series’ favorite list.

All 10 of those episodes I mentioned are episodes I love nearly unconditionally and I just get something more out of them then the majority of the other episodes. I am by no means saying most of the pales in comparison to those 10 though, just I personally enjoyed them on a level most episodes don’t give me even if the episode was generally considered great.
