Thing is, without Lauren Faust MLP is running out of ideas as well.

The Crystal Empire - Good episodes, good songs, significant episode for Twilight leading to MMC, dark villain, killed him off, but many complained he doesn't do much and there's too much focus on the crystal ponies

Too Many Pinkie Pies - I thought the episode was all right, so I guess there's nothing to say here

One Bad Apple - Another bullying episode, which they kinda already had with Gilda, except Babs turns good instead of running off

Magic Duel - Easily the fan favorite episode of the season, with Trixie's return and her duels with Twilight, even if some were disappointed she turned good

Sleepless in Ponyville - Nothing to say here except it was an all right episode, especially with Luna appearances

Wonderbolts Academy - Took the opportunity to go where the series hasn't actually got around to going yet, Rainbow Dash actually entering Wonderbolts Academy and looking as though she's on her way to becoming a Wonderbolt by the end

Apple Family Reunion - Here's the point in which episodes had a little less interest for me. The three big highlights here are: Babs's return, Applejack getting her own song, and her parents confirmed to be dead

Spike At Your Service - The typical "Character saves another character's life and character becomes their servant", and kinda made Spike out of character by screwing everything up (seriously, he never screws up around Twilight). But it was an all right episode, highlights being the King Timberwolf's death and Rarity getting into that cannon for no reason.

Keep Calm and Flutter On - One of my favorite episodes of the season because Discord returns (and Angel does a Wilhlem scream), but again many complained that Discord turned good and he didn't seem as powerful this time (which was only because he was under threat of being turned back to stone).

Just for Sidekicks - Probably the least interesting episode for me, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

Games Ponies Play - I've only seen once, but an all right episode, highlight being that it takes place at the same time as Just for Sidekicks like Saw II and Saw III.

Magical Mystery Cure - I know others feel the opposite, but one of my favorite episodes of Season 3. Its awesome songs make up for the lack of songs in Season 3 which were only there in The Crystal Empire, One Bad Apple, and Apple Family Reunion, and am looking forward to more Alicorn Twilight, but others complained that the whole episode was rushed, and disliked Twilight's transformation, be it because of the wings, or title of princess, or both.
