Well, I've created an account specifically so I can rant about the ending.

While it was great that Spike got his chance to shine, and the moral was excellent, the ice-cloud-of-death really annoyed me. Why? Because it means 1 of 2 things:

Either the Princesses all had their magic disabled like the other unicorns (which is stupid on so many levels... why disable the magic of the most powerful ponies who would be the ones most able to DO something in a disaster? Who even has the authority or the magical power to do that?) OR the princesses all stood around like useless blocks of wood while lives were in danger (well... Twilight did look like she was about to cast a spell when Spike jumped on her, but that's still a massively delayed reaction). Either way, it's an oversight on the characters/writers' parts.

In fact, it's one of the major complaints I have with the show (and a lot of Fantasy in general): there are so many problems that could be solved with magic, but for some reason don't (and by that, I mean magic that we know the characters are capable of doing). It annoys me to no end.

Also, why would you give anyone a weapon that powerful in a sport with seemingly no safety precautions? In fact, the entire Games seemed disorganised, unrehearsed, and unsafe compared to our Olympics. Something that we do better than ponies, for once...
