So I'm watching the 5th season for the first time, and it looks like the writers had the testicles to do a two-part anti-communism episode as the season opener. Is the whole 5th season this good? Or does it go downhill from here?

It gets better, but to each his own.

I'd say it goes up and down. There are some bad episodes (like Princess Spike), but overall, I'd call it the best season yet.

I have to say it's the most roller-coastery season of all, when it's good, it's real good, but when it's bad, it's real bad. But there's one episode I know you'll love, and it even tops The Return of Harmony for many people. So I suggest you watch it.

Well I'm still gonna watch it, but I don't have high hopes for it based on the title.

I was maybe being a little harsh. It's not that bad. Worst of the season, but the season's been great.
There are several real winners.Slice of Life, Amending Fences, Crusaders of the Lost Mark, Cutie Remark...
You're in for a treat, anon.

Reddit called.

Princess Spike wasn't bad as much as unoriginal. I've seen the whole Freaky Friday scenario too much, but I didn't think it was bad at all.

Not reddit. I just honestly enjoyed the episode. Was a fun one, and I was cheering the whole way through, but it shouldn't happen often.

Communism is an economic system. This was more about forced conformity.
>>25865652
Yeah, more about cults than communism. Though she did have some SJW lines.

>reference made to citizens of Our Town being 'eastern' ponies
>promises of equality and a classless lifestyle
>dissent is ruthlessly crushed
>autocratic figurehead doesn't actually believe in revolutionary ideals, and gives themself special privileges
>the goods they produce are all shit
>they live in a wintery environment
>there's secret police to help catch dissidents
Seems like a pretty obvious satire of the USSR from where I'm sitting.
>>25865625
It was pointless and didn't fit with a lot of stuff. No one gave a shit about Twi being a princess before.
>>25865652
Forced conformity that they could leave from at any time? Face it. Starlight was the good guy.
Just wait til you see the finale. Made me cry really now that certain things aren't allowed to exist for what should.
I can't handle thinking about shit like that, even if it wasn't ideal.

if only i had tyour optimism
>>25865833
You misread. I said I don't have high hopes. Spike episodes are mostly shit.
>>25865828
Should see the hairy ones.
