Let's focus on something other than the alicorn part.

The Finale was horrible :D They threw out the previous episode formula and made it a musical. Now, this doesn't necessarily make something bad, but that fact obviously didn't help them any. The songs ended up taking away from the episode by being so long and pointless. True True Friend, and arguably What my Cutie Mark is Telling Me, are the only exceptions (and personally, I would have rather had better interaction in place of the cutie mark song).

The episode opens with Twilight singing a blatant lie that has no purpose, and only takes up time. They get pass the bit with Rainbow, and the cutie mark song starts (although decent, refer to my previous parenthases). Then, Twilight and Spike return to the library, and Twilight has a flashback about the night before (which would have fit better at the begining of the episode before the usual opening sequence). Spike starts naming off possible solutions, and Twilight starts singing the next filler. After she shuts up, Spike gives her a pep talk or something, and by act of divine intervention she knows exactly what to do (yay lazy writing). They go catch Fluttershy before she leaves for Cloudsdale and have her help out Rainbow; cue the best song in the episode. Everything's fixed, insert feeble "yay," and so everypony goes back to the library. Although I suppose they were going for a realization, Twilight seems to have another moment of uncontrollable omnipotence and fixes the spell. Well, she's fried and sent to some other plain of existance, where Celestia meets here and begins singing the song that seems to only exist to make members of the fandom happy all while walking through memories which are displayed as youtube videos. Yea, it doesn't really fit, but by that time, who cares anymore? Twilight becomes an Alicorn Princess, and Pinkie Pie does a spit take. We are brought to the coronation, where the sixth song is sung, and all that follows. Then they bring back the song from the begining of the episode, and although it fits better at the end, it's still an irritant to my ears.


 * Hopefully this is just neat enough for you to understand. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the episode itself.
