Talk:Shadow Play - Part 2/@comment-1658827-20171014043101

A truly fantastic finale! I'm so super happy that the pillars didn't HAVE to be banished again, and now we have 6 new characters for the producers of the show to have fun with and use and continue the series...so long as they use them wisely, of course. I loved this finale. It wasn't AS good as last season's finale (since Discord, Starlight, Thorax and Trixie are just TOO awesome), but I really liked it a lot! Even if, much like Sombra, we didn't get to see the Pony Of Shadows really do anything...it wasn't about that. It was more about the story and Stygian than the actual villain. It was showing how the villain was formed and what he COULD do, rather than just letting him do it. I like that. I loved seeing Aria, Adagio and Sonata make a cameo in their siren form, basically proving that Equestria Girls IS still technically canon to the series (which makes me happy). I liked all 6 of the pillars, and it wouldn't surprise me if we got episodes in season 8 where each of them pair up with a member of the Mane 6 for an episode. Like, a Fluttershy/Meadowbrook episode. Or a...uh, Pinkie/Somnambula? Well, might need to throw Daring Do and Rainbow Dash in there to make that actually work. But, still, the possibilities are endless! How will the Mane 6 and their predecessors get along? So fun! After 7 seasons of MLP: FIM, I can honestly say that the series is as strong and great as ever! Haters can keep on hating; those bored of it can quietly leave and not look back. There wasn't a single bad episode this season, and once I make up a proper ranking to give my thoughts on each and every episode, I'll explain why. But, this season was truly magical, complete with an amazing movie (which, again, the stupid critics can hate all they want; they're wrong). I can't wait for season 8! I only wish the old Littlest Pet Shop would come back, and not the garbage they rebooted instead. Ugh.
