The writing for these secondary characters was perfect imo they just go together extremely well. And the fact that they became the heroes for this finale still puts a smile on my face.

For once mane 6 aren't the heroes. For once mane 6 are defeated. They can actually be defeated, Chrysalis did this better than Tirek.

@@Icy-be5vl Yeah but how. Would it have killed them to show us.


Discord: (Angrily) “They took Fluttershy!?”

Starlight: “Yes.”

Discord: (looking vengeful) “Where!?”

Me: Ooh, boy. It’s on now.😏


I liked that they didn't reform Chrysalis. It would feel forced if she accepted friendship that fast. That's what makes her one of my favourite villains.

Starlight honestly wanted to make the world a better place, she just didn't know how.<br>With Chrysalis, on the other hand, I feel her ways are set in stone.

With Chrysalis, on the other hand, I feel her ways are set in stone.

Agreed. Even Starlight ran off the first time Twilight wanted to show her a better way. It'd be way too early for Chrysalis.

I agree, but still a little sad she didn't get reformed at all, that would've been super cool


10:51 I like the added detail of Pinkie's jumping sound being distorted. It function as a nice first subliminal message that something is wrong.


8:06 Trixie: "I've got your flank."
PonyBro: "What double meaning does that have?"
A great and powerful one.

PonyBro: "What double meaning does _that_ have?"

18:03 "Spike abuse continues, even as changelings."
It's like they learned their roles from lurking on 4chan.


To this day, this is my absolute favorite finale. After five seasons of Twilight and her friends fighting off villains and reforming those who were willing to give friendship a try, we see all the creatures who were given a second chance come to their friends' aid. This is the kind of episode concept that could only be as surprising and effective the first time around, and I have to say that the creators of the show pulled it off magnificently.

Not to be mean but I don’t like the set up. Once again in order to make Starlight look good they have to make everyone else look weak and I always hated that. In fact screw her Thorax was the real hero here.

@@lukelichtenthal5407 Actually Starlight is the one who told Thorax to share the love without her he wouldn’t of done it

@@KatherineProductionswell using that logic, without thorax they wouldnt even know how to find the throne room. then again, thorax wouldnt even be their friend without spike. so technically, spike is the real mvp


40:40 "Even Flurry Heart's about to kick ass!"
And we know what that little one is capable of.

I call them skittle bugs. <br>I was glad when Chrysalis didn't reform here though. Also I'm surprised it took her this long to try this as easy as it'd be to just walk into everyone's bedrooms and grab them in their sleep.

She probably took a long time planning and gathering information, it was a huge coorditated surprise attack.


Yeah, the new changeling designs were a bit jarring for me when they first showed up, but now I actually like them.  As for Chryssi . . . it's another way in which this show has grown up:  Showing that not everyone can <b>be</b> reformed.  The Magic of Friendship can't be forced onto someone, and some simply will not accept it into their hearts.

I still believe that this can be done with everyone. One just have to find the right spot in their world view. That single brick that holds their evil ideology together. Take that brick out and everything crumbles, because it no longer has the ground to stand on.  Or compare this to those psyche locks in "Turnabout Storm": until you break all those locks with evidence, the suspect won't tell you anything. And Chrysalis has psyche locks all over the place.  Her hive and her subjects was just one of them. But the MAIN psyche locks that drives her into evil is still there, intact.  Something very painful from her past, that involves loss of a loved one, I would say. And until there's that giant hole in her heart that craves for love and drives her revenge, it would be impossible to reform her. We need to go deeper...


13:03 Fake Twilight: "He's been acting a little off all day.  (Looks at the camera) I think he missed a meal or something."
Because Spike doesn't get as much love as the others, get it?  XD

Oh my gosh, was that an intended joke by the writers? If so, that's actually pretty funny. This line was dropped before it was shown that they were all changelings, so I never thought about it.

Fandom's motto: Love and Tolerance.... except for Spike

@@SunnyEquus  There's no such thing as absolute tolerance, though. Because that would be paradoxical: you would have to tolerate the intolerant ones too. And this usually means that they can run over your head and ruin your tolerant society. Take a look at Karl Popper's "The Open Society and its Enemies".<br>The same goes with freedom:  absolute freedom would also include a freedom to relinquish your freedom, basically undermining the entire idea. It was Kurt Gödel, if I remember correctly, who first pointed out that every democratic system contains a loophole that allows to introduce totalitarian dictatorship by vote of the majority. On the other hand, if you state that freedom cannot be relinquished, it contradicts with absolute freedom, because now you're not free to do at least one thing: relinquish your freedom.

@Bon Bon, I was just joking about the Spike abuse in the show. Don't take it so seriously XD

@@SunnyEquus Don't worry, I don't ;)  I know it was a joke. But it also was a good opportunity to bring in some interesting paradox to ponder upon :)

Maybe he would have gotten more love if he had better episodes


Imagine being invited to a party, then you get there and everybody expects you to organize the party for them


"You can SMELL them? That's unsettling."

...Trixie was just in a fireworks display contained in her cart, and not magical ones either, she was coughing up smoke. She probably stinks of gunpowder. As someone who seems at least loosely affiliated with military from some of your attire, you should know just how strong gunpowder can smell.

Combine that with the fact that Starlight <b>might</b> have been wearing some perfume on top of that. Which makes me belive this was meant to be a Harry Potter reference.

This episode is a Fluttercord shipper's dream. The scene where Discord picks Fluttershy up and hugs her is my keypad background on my phone...that I am using to type this.

So hekkin cute.

20:17 - 20:39 Trixie’s freak out is the best.
33:02 Discord’s like: “I'm screwed.”


I love Luna's musical theme that plays when she appears in dreams.  I really like her little pep talk to Starlight here, as well.  It's one of her most sincere and charming moments in my opinion.


Keep em coming, dude. You’re getting to that point of covering each episode with your brilliant reactions.


One of my favorite Season finales. I liked how they focussed on a group of characters that haven't shared the spotlight that much before, and who certainly haven't been in any finales (except Starlight).


Up next is season 7, a great season. And boy we are getting closer and closer to the end...


31:22
That changeling in the far back stifled a laugh~


Now that you are done with season 6, prepare for season of feels 2.0!<br>Good luck!

Me: Curb Your Enthusiasm.

This season finale is one of my favorites of the show! Not only do we have the grand return of Queen Chrysalis, but we also have a story where the Mane 6 are in need of some help from a group of secondary characters (Starlight, Trixie, Thorax, and Discord of all characters)that was a good change of pace.

About the new designs for Thorax and the Changelings, I found them to be interesting, in a good way from the beginning. I can understand why some people found them to be a bit jarring, but I still like those designs.

Congrats on making it through S6, PonyBro! Next comes S7, which is among my top three favorite seasons of MLP FIM. That season is known as “the season of callbacks, fan service, and revealed mysteries.” Can’t wait to watch your reactions to them.🙂


Thorax: “They took Cadance, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart!”

Me: Taking the others captive is one thing, but no one, I repeat, no one messes with Flurry Heart!

@@fusionomni305 Leaving it alone for inevitable death is even worse :J Just sayin'...


I actually like the bright colors for the changelings it kinda just feels like a good color choice-


This is probably my favourite 2-parter of the whole show :D


Season 7 is upon us and that means that one of the most beatiful and practically the perfect episode is almost here, can hardly wait to see your reaction to that one.


Oh, by the way, Trixie sleep talking about peanut butter crackers is a reference to Equestria Girls. Human Trixie loves them, and I guess pony Trixie does, too.

Theory time:  in their dreams, human and pony characters switch minds ;)

@@bonbonpony let's see how well the theory holds up when it shows  the dream sci-twi had in the beginning of legend of the everfree


The changelings can smell Starlight and Trixie's love.  Their tasty, tasty love...


01:11 The title was a reference to "The Hobbit, or There And Back Again" by J.J.R.Tolkien ;)
06:30 Oh, yes you do, Pinkie. You refused Twilight's invitation just three episodes ago (in "P.P.O.V.").
06:50 Totes adorbs Trix :3
07:05 Yeah, I can see the salt overflowing through her horn ;)
08:26 There's not many thieves in Equestria. No pony feels the need to steal other ponies' property when they have their own.
09:14 Which is kinda odd, since she didn't have any problem with talking to them all in season 5 premiere :q
10:58 Pinkie would never forget the name of her friend, would she? ;>
13:40 "What? You support my irrational behaviour? No, no, no, you're supposed to be blaming me for it." :)
14:35 For the most part, they used weird dreams and dream-like scenarios, so at first I thought that this finale would be something about the dream world, which, to be frank, would be an awesome idea for the finale :>  But it turned out that it was just a decoy, to turn our attention off the idea that it's about Changelings.
15:34 "They're taking my sister and I"??? What's that syntax? :P  Shouldn't it be "my sister and me"? o_O  They're the direct object, they should be in accusative.
15:58 Twilight's castle looks so awesome in the night ;>  If Twilight ever gone dark, this castle will fit her well ;>  Midnight Sparkle, the Princess of Darkness ;>
18:40 Looks like Changelings are literally Minions :q
19:44 It's most likely Trixie's Eau de Colon :)  (that is, she most likely shat herself from fear ;) )
19:55 So many Trixie-Starlight nose bumps this episode :J
20:48 "QUIEEEET!!!" :D
21:50 Knitting a voo-doo doll of Angel in there, eh? ;>
22:48 Playing Chrysalis theme ;J

23:08 Yup, that was a nice idea for the finale, quite creative and fresh.
24:04 Kiregschweine :D
24:24 Magic-sucking – the arch-Nemesis of all magical characters... :q
24:38 In a way, Starlight, you've been training for this for this entire season: how to solve your problems without resorting to Magic.
26:22 People with trypophobia hate this episode :J
30:29 Now that's a giant vagina :q
32:17 He said it :J
32:40 This is torture, against all international treaties :q
34:04 Best Trixie moment in this finale :>  She can be very brave and heroic when the situation calls for it. (And her suicidal tendencies show up again :q )
35:18 You know, for kids! :J
35:50 She is, if she can use her magic. But now she can't ;q
37:55 It may sound silly and gay, but there's a lot of sense in it. Changelings feed on love. It's their food, their life force. Without it, they can die of starvation. They feed on other ponies' love because they don't know how to produce this energy themselves, so they have to drain it from others. But as soon as they make friends, they start producing this energy of love. They still can't feed on their own energy, because they send it out, but when they join in pairs, they can feed each other with it, one of them producing it for the other to consume it. The solution for their problem was always the same, since forever, but they didn't realize that: they had to "reverse the flow" of their energy of love, the same way Thorax did in 39:05. This way, every Changeling will start producing it, and there will be no end for the amount of love energy they could produce. They will be fed with it forever.
Now take it as a metaphore and apply it to Human World, and you will start seeing a deeper meaning in it ;>  Because this formula applies not only to magic or love – it applies to electrical energy, to money, to knowledge, to natural resources, to freedom, to everything. The more you take and consume, the less is left for everyone else, including you. The more you share & give, the more is being produced for the benefit of everyone. Ponder about this for a while and keep it in mind. It can change your life.
38:05 Friendship is violence :J
38:18 And that's why Starlight was the only pony who could understand Chrysalis and reason with her.
39:26 Speaking of gay.... :)  Thorax is now Gaylord :D
41:09 Yeah, she's like "I'm outta here!  ,,|,,  ˘^˘  ,,|,, "  :q
44:24 Yup, going into the lion's lair, with no magical power and no protection whatsoever.
44:55 Yeah :J  And for me, this episode was a real game changer with Trixie too. I always liked her character since the very first time she appeared, but this episode made me put her amongst the top favourites :>

I'm kinda sad that chrysalis never got reformed. They could have had an episode where she wants to change but her pride gets the best of her.


One of my favorite finales right here. All the major characters taken, and all magic rendered useless creates some very overwhelming odds, and we have more focus on other characters we haven't gotten a chance to see nearly as much of.


This is my 3rd favourite finale, after the season 4 finale and season 9.


Thorax's design was really the only one that is still unsettling. The rest are pretty to look at.


11:19 Another proof of PB's absolute alignment with Starlight's wavelength. Find the difference 😆😆
20:48 see what I mean? Completely in tune 😂👌


"That took me longer than it probably should've" no worries, you were still quicker than me. The first time I watched this I literally didn't even guess until Luna said the word changelings lmao


You are probably the only reactor I've ever watched with whom I've watched at a >slower< rate then you, yourself, watched the show. I'm averaging about one episode a day with you while I eat breakfast.

But yeah. Great to see you again, Now on to the last season I need to watch with you, season 7. There is a few episodes in particular that I'm looking forward to seeing you react to in that season, such as "Perfect Pear".


Now onto EG 4 and my favorite season(with my 2 favorite episodes). I would like to suggest you to react to what ink pots did, they made some amazing animatics, I would love to watch your reactions to them.

An amazing season finale I just wish Discord did a bit more like have been the one to chase Chrisillis off.

After the "They took Fluttershy?" bit, I shudder to think what he'd do.  He's reformed, but not exactly nice-especially if you hurt his friends.

Also that the "Magical Movie Night" trilogy (Dance Magic, Movie Magic, and Mirror Magic) takes place before S7.

Actually, I thought they came out during the mid-season hiatus of s7.

The last EqG movie, Legend of Everfree, was the thing that came out at the end of s6.

@@Narrator007 Being when they came out and where they take place is 2 different things. For example, Spring Breakdown came out between seasons 8 and 9 but is 100% cannon as being between the movie and season 8. And do to a scene in Mirror Magic confirms that it's pre-season 7.


After "Legend of Everfree" will you be doing the "Summertime Shorts" and then the "Magical Movie Night" trilogy (Dance Magic, Movie Magic, and Mirror Magic), or the "Magical Movie Night" trilogy after "Legend of Everfree"?

I'll make sure he gets a chronological list of all the EqG stuff that came after the movie.  I'm pretty sure that the first thing was the Magic trilogy of specials, which came out during the s7 mid-season hiatus.


Shouldn’t they be rushing back to make sure that their doppelgängers didn’t cause irreparable damage?


TRIXIE LOVE PEANUT BUTTER SNACKS WE ALL KNOOW WHEN SHE KEPT GETTING SOME IN THE RAINBOW ROCK ONE


I do have to wonder if the Mane 6 were caught 1 by 1 or were overwhelmed with sheer numbers again.

Probably in their sleep. The kidnapping would have likely been noticed if they were just outnumbered.

If only they had shown us, but apparently the writers were too lazy to do so.

@@lukelichtenthal5407 Shrugs Its not that big of deal.

After thinking about it, capturing them 1 by 1 would have taken quite a bit of time away from things and showing the mane 6 struggling against the Changelings would have also taken away some time away from focusing on Starlight's personal issue or interactions between our wonderful secondary characters since the mane 6 were not the focus.

Plus there wouldn't really be anywhere to put that stuff in part 1 or 2 of the finale given how it was done.

“That face?”

I think you mean, (6:49) THAT face!


Honestly Discord should just have catch Chrysalis when she was flying away at the end...

They can't do it in a kids' show, but with Discord's temper, he likely does something truly horrible.

Or just snap his fingers and make her explode in the middle of her way ;)
