The first thing I'd like to say about this episode is that I HATE timeskips. Always have. I hate seeing child characters grow up into adults, plus that fully-grown Twilight and Spike looked ridiculous. Are we really supposed to believe that Twilight grew up into that giant alicorn and her friends all stayed the same size? They looked like bad fan art. Lustre Dawn was also clearly an exact carbon copy of Season 1 Twilight, and it was obvious they copied her story word-for-word for Lustre. The first time they did a Twilight-mirror was with Moondancer, but hers was unique, and she had her own story. Lustre's story was IDENTICAL to Twilight's, and its clear they didn't try in the slightest to make her story unique. It felt so forced. Also how literally the entire purpose of the series has been Twilight moving to Ponyville and learning about the magic of friendship with the Mane 6, and for her to move to Canterlot, leave everything that's ever happened to her behind, and only see her friends once a month seemed monumentally stupid. I was never on board with this whole "retirement and Twilight taking over" malarkey to begin with, but this just sealed it all off. The song was lame, too, and I'm also pretty annoyed that they implied Appledash and Fluttercord.

BUT, I was absolutely thrilled that they confirmed Cheesepie after all, and Li'l Cheese was just adorable. But that wasn't nearly enough to make me like this finale.
