My Opinions: Season 3 Episodes 1-5

Derpy??? 

I think season 3 is kicking off to a pretty fine start! It has lots of things in it for the fans, but barely any Derpy! The only reason I say "barely" and not "not at all" is that in Magic Duel you can see what looks like her mane sticking out from behind Bon Bon. She was also in the stands at the end of Magic Duel during Twilight's magic show.

The Crystal Empire- Part 1

I liked this episode a lot and I thought it was a good season opener. I also learned a very valuable lesson, "DON'T LOOK FOR SPOILERS; THEY RUIN THE SHOW!" I saw almost all of this episode through spoilers and was disappointed with myself.
Sombra did not make it on my list of favorite villains which right now only has Discord and Chrysalis. A question I had about this episode was: If it's the Crystal EMPIRE, why is Sombra a king and not an emperor? My favorite line was when they finished talking to the librarian, and Pinkie Pie says, "I like her!"

The Crystal Empire- Part 2

I  also enjoyed this episode, but I liked it better than part 1, because it was new and un-spoiled for me! My favorite part was when Twilight is sliding down the bottom of the stairs. My question for this episode was: Why did spike turn crystal like the crystal ponies? He's not a pony! I also would like to know what the book Luna has at the end was... Anyway, I loved this episode!

Too Many Pinkie Pies

This episode was pretty good. I had a lot of trouble understanding Pinkie Pie though. I love the part when Pinkie Pie makes a G3 face! It had a good lesson which I may have used in my real life... It wasn't my favorite episode because Pinkie Pie started to give me a headache. I thought the "test" was kind of cruel. I wasn't sure if it was the best idea, but they managed to get the real Pinkie, so it's all good. :)

One Bad Apple

This episode was super! I absolutely loved the song! Scootaloo flew a little, and Sweetie Belle made her horn sparkle a little. I also liked the A-Team music that was played when they were building the Apple Float. (Of course it wasn't a real Apple float because there were Windows!...) Sweetie Belle drinking the milkshake was too cute! :3 I didn't really agree with the ending. The CMC's were the wounded party, so Babs should have apologized first, right? I wasn't much for the character Babs. She didn't really grow on me. I still really liked this episode though!

I think this was the best episode in the season so far! There was so much fanservice:

• "Alicorn" was fan made.
• Trixie returns!
• Pinkie Pie's dad
• Rock farm!
• Derpy!!!
• Parasprites!
• More Zecora
• Empire Strikes Back reference.
• Lyra and Bon Bon
• Lyra acting like a human
• Fluttertree
• And Male Applejack!

I liked how it had a really big problem! Not something small like a mean Griffon, or a grumpy donkey. This was a big problem: Ponyville was taken over! Dun, dun, dun!!! Zecora's line, "Unlearn what you have learned," Hmm... I wonder where she got that line. *Cough. Yoda! Male Aplejack made me laugh, and I felt bad for Pinkie Pie. Right when she is about to say something- "My Little Pony!" The credits come. Yeah, so I thought this episode was super amazing!

So, there is a new episode this Saturday and I'm a very excited! Season 3 kicked off to a pretty good start and I can't wait to see it! Hmm.... Maybe I'll watch just one more spoiler...
