Talk:The Crystalling - Part 2/@comment-25410106-20160326162626

This was actually a really good premiere! I know that I, like a lot of other people, had some doubts, but I honestly can say I really liked it.

My favorite part was, without a doubt, Starlight Glimmer. I feel like she was handled perfectly. From her doubts, to her execution, to her emotional outbreak at Sunburst's house, Starlight really became her own character. She wasn't just Sunset 2, and she wasn't forced to into being the hero. She was Starlight, and I think she was excellent.

In fact, all of the characters were done well. Sunburst was good, the Mane Six (particularly Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie, and Rarity) had their moments, Spike, Celestia, and Luna finally did something important, and Shining Armor was hilarious! The entire episode had its funny moments, truth be told.

If there's one thing I didn't like, it was the pacing. It took a little too long to get to the conflict, but the handling of the conflict was fine. I just wish they could've gotten there sooner.

Did I mention Flurry Heart was ADORABLE?

Overall, I really liked this season premiere. It's certainly not the best of the six, but its definitely one of the better ones. Starlight was executed very well, the characters were fun, there was loads of comedy, and some adorable moments, even if the pacing was off. After seeing this, I'm even more excited for the rest of Season Six! This episode was nice and fun; let's hope the season can continue this way!
