I can confirm that a multitude of circumstances such as having to watch it on a small phone, two of my friends spoiling it and a taxing day at work among other things did in fact effect my opinion.

1) I am still iffy about their talents being “helping others find their talents” despite it being much better than just helping in general because when they try and “help” more damage than good is caused.  I can see now that their primary talent of sports, singing and apple is on the shields so that makes it fell less like I was lied to for the last five years.

2) I DO still think it was out of character for Diamond Tiara to open up so fast. If she had lost silver spoon or we saw her interacting with her mother a few episodes ago, then it would make more sense but her redemption arc was still to fast.

3) The songs were subpar. They have been for the last few episodes.

Is it the worst episode? No, I still think that princess spike is the worst. But I still think that it’s certainly not the best. I don’t agree with the cutiemarks but now that I can see them proper and can actually understand what they are for, it’s easier to swollow but still iffy.

On a related note, next week I should not be in a certain skype group, I should make sure I don’t work a long ass shift and I should avoid whatever the fuck fucked up my stomach.
