Alright, now that all of season five has aired, I'm comfortable with this order: And the finale was great. I think overall season four's finale is still my favorite (it was just a focused, great battle against a threatening, intense villain, and showed how far Meghan McCarthy had come in writing villains of that type *cough*SombraTheCrysalEmpire*cough*], but this was probably my second favorite, just sneaking in ahead of A Canterlot Wedding (and like the season opener, which was not all that action oriented, unlike previous openers, but was rather focused on a more subtle, ideological conflict, this was an intriguing what-if look at alternate Equestrias, and I don't think there's any doubt that this is far and away the darkest thing the show has ever produced - at least, thus far - plus I really liked the ending, even being a little rushed as it was - I felt it was really relatable, as kids tend to overreact to small things, and then Starlight's redemption was also good in my books as Twilight was successfully able to change tactics and use what she had learned on the spot to finally break through the hard shell around Starlight's heart)
