Spoiler Warning Below!

Okay, now I enjoyed that more than I enjoyed Friendship Games. The characterisations were solid and the story easy to follow whilst maintaining a degree of mystery in the two primary plot threads (which merged towards the end in a satisfying way). They also did the right thing by whittling the guest characters down to just two, thus avoiding creating expectations for character interactions that the run time simply wouldn't support.

Some of the girls' superpowers were as expected, others were not. I particularly liked Pinkie's powers - totally unexpected and yet fully in character!

There are several points that suggest that the story isn't quite over yet.


 * 1) Gloriosa absorbs a little of the magic at the end; she may still have her powers, although at a weaker level;
 * 2) They made one payment but there may be future conflicts with Filthy Rich. Could he become the girls' equivalent of J Jonah Jameson?
 * 3) Magic is still leaking out of the rift... maybe it always has (if Timber's story is true then the Crystal Cave/Tree of Harmony has been there for over a century)

Points 1 & 3 make me think that ordinary humans developing magical powers is going to be a thing in their world; sort of like the sudden emergence of X-Factor mutations in the X-Men world in the 1950s. It's probably been around for a while but now that rift is open, the rate of magical mutations may rise exponentially.

Point 2 really makes me wonder if they're buliding up a villain coalition in the background. I wonder if a humiliated Filthy Rich will end up drinking at the same bar as Principal Cinch and they get to talking about the girls responsible for their humilation and what they should do about it?

Oh, and look out, FlashLighters, because FlashSet is heavily implied in a couple of scenes! However, it is nothing compared to how strongly they implied RariJack!

Finally... You can't tell me that those geodes aren't their world's Elements of Harmony. So, it's confirmed; the human world has seven. I wonder what is Sunset's one called?
