Talk:Between Dark and Dawn/@comment-1319156-20190622231603

...why? Why do people defend what the show has turned into? Why does this episode exist? Why do the writers insist on making these abominations when they've proven they can create true gems? And why did Hasbro let this trainwreck of an episode air?! (If you can answer any of these questions convincingly, I would love to know what you can come up with. No, really. I mean it.)

I ask these questions because episode is one of the most abysmally wretched I've ever seen! Twilight is a flanderized moron, the Royal Sisters aren't much better, and the moral is so poorly handled that it sends mixed messages to the target audience. It's a complete disaster from beginning to end.

In fact, this episode perfectly summarizes season nine up to this point; rehashing older ideas and doing nothing with them, loads of unfortunate implications, concepts that feel like they were pulled from the trash bin, and at best, bland executions. Between Dark and Dawn is one of the worst episodes of the show, and there's a place in Tartarus reserved for it.
