Talk:My Little Pony Best Gift Ever/@comment-4531340-20181031122719

I'll be back with a more in-depth comment later, but I just first wanted to say that I think this is my second favorite Hearth's Warming thing the show has done (A Hearth's Warming Tail and The Hearth's Warming Club are tied for favorite).

Also, at first, I thought it was pretty good, but not something I simply had to watch over and over, to see everyone's reaction to, like my favorite parts of season 8 had been (such as the premiere, finale, The Hearth's Warming Club, or What Lies Beneath, just to name a few of the examples - there were a lot more, mind you), though I warmed to it considerably more on second watch.

Also, it was really cool to get such great involvement from the Mane Six, though I suppose this'll tell you where my mind was at going in - I was a little disappointed the Young Six weren't playing a bigger role. I should also note that on second watch, like above, this seemed like less of a problem.

Finally, has there been any confirmation that this special takes place after the season 8 finale? Otherwise, I theorize that the special takes place right after The Hearth's Warming Club, on Hearth's Warming (whereas the former was on Hearth's Warming Eve).

I suppose that leaves the question as to where Gallus went, whether he did head back to Griffonstone after all, or went to spend the holidays with one of his friends. I doubt it would be Smolder (considering how the Feast of Fire seems to be about telling stories unappealing to non-dragons and eating gemstones), and it can't be Ocellus or Yona (or we would've seen him), which leaves Sandbar or Silverstream. Personally, I like to believe it was Silverstream because he's going to meet his girlfriend's parents ehehehehehe
