Also, why do you still keep ragging on about how supposedly bad Rainbow Falls was? Even though I do acknowledge the episode did have it's problems, even in terms of continuity errors and inconsistencies, at the end of the day, I don't hold such a huge grudge on the episode, unlike the very few bronies out there like you.

I only brought up Rainbow Falls because Corey Powell co-wrote Inspiration Manifestation (Plus obviously some of it is going to carry over into the next episode). The only other times I talked about Rainbow Falls other then when I gave my thoughts out there was when I was arguing with you. So I don’t think I have been constantly “ragging” on about it.

Rainbow Falls is just one of those episode that falls short on alot of levels for me. Including even entertainment value. When Derpy’s return is nearly the only good thing about the episode. (There were some other good things such as at least some of Twilight and Rainbow’s characterization. But even that wasn’t consistent throughout the episode). That’s not good for the episode’s quality as a whole as Derpy’s return is only supposed to be a minor positive, not the biggest positive.

It’s just also a little more disappointing because we know Corey Powell can write well. Season 3 as a whole is probably the most divisive thing in the fandom not counting Equestria Girls. But most people seem to agree that Sleepless in Ponyville was a great episode. For her to go from that, to Rainbow Falls just makes me wonder what happened. Even if this isn’t really the only case where a writer who did great or good for one season to mediocre or bad the next. Cindy Morrow wrote Hurricane Fluttershy and Sisterhooves Social in Season 2 which were great episodes for that season, what does she follow-up to that in Season 3? One Bad Apple and Apple Family Reunion… yeah…
