Talk:My Little Pony Best Gift Ever/@comment-1711382-20181029174228

This was a really great special. So many references, and a good story for each of the Mane Six.

Twilight's holiday meltdown was hilarious, as was her "pudding" expression (another crazy face to add to the list).

Flim and Flam returning wasn't very pleasant (especially since they seemed more smug and arrogant than ever), but seeing them getting their well-deserved comeuppance once again made it all worth it. Applejack and Fluttershy used their Elements in just the right way to shut down their scam.

Rarity's storyline was sweet. Letting Pistachio keep the hat she got for Applejack and encouraging him to follow his dreams was beautiful.

The reindeer were a nice addition, with each one having their own unique style with gifts.

Discord really redeemed himself after what happened in "A Matter of Principals". While he did manipulate Rainbow Dash, it was all to get Fluttershy a truly great gift. And seeing him spending Hearth's Warming with the others was a nice moment.

I've never been much of a fan of Spike's crush on Rarity, but it was used well here. And the way he started off the final song was adorable.

So yes, this was a terrific special. Let's hope it won't be the only special the main show has before it ends.
