Talk:The Return of Harmony Part 3/@comment-2.124.53.159-20110925192527

It could just be me, but I felt that this seems like a conclusion to the first season rather than the start of the second.

Firstly, I remember seeing a while ago on Equestria Daily that from the third episode onwards, we'll have new opening credits, while these reuse the one from season one.

Secondly, it ends with the big triumphant Star Wars ending that gives it a really epic feeling (compared to Best Night Ever, which I didn't really think had as much of a happy ending as I'd have liked), and the music continues into the credits, unlike Best Night Ever.

Finally, it seems like the events in this episode sum up the entire season. It ends with them (seemingly) becoming recognised for being the Elements of Harmony. It refers back to the friendship reports that have been going on throughout the series, as well as giving us a few flashbacks to earlier episodes. And the moral of these episodes seems to be a great way to finish off the lessons learned throughout the series (ie that friendship isn't always easy).

So yeah, could just be me, but I personally view this as more of an ending to season 1 than anything else.
