ya, frankly it all felt kinda rushed.
I'm not rly amazed by this episode, but it was fun to watch. |

I know I keep sayin' this, but I really hope we see Pipsqueak again.
Oh, and the episode was fine for me because I had no expectations for Luna. |

| juli7 #586980 9 months ago |
@ Anon #586972 exactly my opinion |
| Fuzzy_Logic #586982 9 months ago |
It did feel rushed.
I mean are we seriously to believe Celestia got Luna back after a thousand friggin years and didn't spend 10 seconds with her to learn she's unbearably outdated in regards to mannerisms and her voice makes her sound like a total cunt? Calm down luna fans, I said SOUND like. It's obvious she was nice beneath it. it is just ridiculous, the whole premise is terrible. If it was just "Luna comes and hangs out and people are scared of her even though she's Luna and nice", sure. But that's not what happened. Now, had they set it the day after Luna was set free and had Celestia along to try and help make her more friendly sounding, okay, but jeez. I dunno. I'm just having trouble believing the same guy who wrote some of the best and most well-received episodes wrote this one. |

Rarity's costume was my favorite she was that background rock. |
| imnotgivingmynametoamachine #586987 9 months ago |
I didn't like the episode per se, but it's FAR from the worse. My only objections to the episode were:
- no explanation to Luna's different look (no one even mentions or points it out). I kinda go with Faust's explanation but I wish it was mentioned. - no song :( Otherwise, it's not bad but I liked last week's episode more. As for Pipsqueak, he was introduced so they could explain the aspects of Nightmare Night. The CMC will each get their own episodes anyway (Sweetie Belle has her own next and Applebloom afterwards) so they don't need any extra attention. Rarity wasn't needed and wouldn't have really added much. If anything, from an earlier draft, it looks like she was replaced by Carrot Top so she originally had one scene anyway. Anyways, I'd say it was a weak episode, but not bad at all. |

Episode about Luna is the worst episode ever because it didn't have Rarity in it.
Not 'bad']/i], not [i]'not as good as it could have been', but 'worst episode ever'... ![]() |
| Fuzzy_Logic #586994 9 months ago |
anyway whatever
Carrot Top was hanging out with Dinky while Derpy went and played games, Colgate was possibly dressed as a dentist (surgeon more likely though), Big Macintosh brought sexy back, the costumes were a significant highlight and the episode is worth watching just for them. |
| Gittonsxv #586996 9 months ago |
it was fun and i do imagen being away from the world for a thousand years you would have no idea what to do and have really old traditions.....there is not much time per episode so fitting in the CMC, rarity and luna would be a cluster fuck in my opinion......not the best but still good..... |
| Anonymous #587002 9 months ago |
I think you're just a Rarity fan with some butthurt. They more than likely didn't include rarity because luna and rarity are the same voice actress and they didn't want too much of one VA like the iron pony episode. Imo this episode was better than episode 3. |
| Anonymous #587004 9 months ago |
Nopony remembers that Nightmare Moon was defeated? Or welcoming Princess Luna at the end of S1E2? Princess Luna has been free for about a year (presumably) and she's still completely unacclimated? Her dear sister didn't bother to help at all (well, ok fine, Trollestia strikes again)? |

you missed all the things i mentioned that didnt involve rarity :( |
| Anonymous #587011 9 months ago |
where did she get the lack of olde thymey talk when we first saw her |
| smiley_V #587015 9 months ago |
I think that they portrayed Luna rather well. Basically a princess unfamiliar with common customs and added that everyone still has trust issues with her based on her last appearance. It was also nice to see that they didn't resort to using a fan characterization of her or just give the audience exactly what they wanted but rather give her more depth by basically setting her as a 12th century princess. And considering her position and how being the ruler of night, it makes sense that she isn't the best around others. Also I felt it was rather well paced.
Only thing is I really wasn't expecting her to be using her Nightmare moon voice but of well, C'est la vie. Besides, if Rarity was in the episode it would have felt weird considering its the same voice actor with a pretty similar voice used on each character. |
| Anonymous #587021 9 months ago |
Her sister didn't help her because she presumably doesn't act all royal like that when it's just the two of them. |
| Tizee #587026 9 months ago |
And so the inevitable "Luna isn't exactly as i wanted
therefore worst possible thing etc" happens. Yeh i know that there's some finer points in there but personally, i liked it. |
| HeinousActsZX #587028 9 months ago |
Seriously?
I'm the only pony who wants more Pipsqueak? |
| imnotgivingmynametoamachine #587042 9 months ago |
Yeah, like Anon 004 said, she was welcomed with open hooves earlier and now she's being treated like a monster. Perhaps earlier could be explained as Celestia being there? Or that Luna's restored power creeped everyone a bit (she got darker and taller and more menacing).
Also, back to Fuzzy-Logic, Swarm of the Century was "great"? I actually felt that was one of the weakest/worst episodes of the whole show. Such an old and predictable plot (as in story, not pony butt). That was such a dull episode overall. |
| Fuzzy_Logic #587057 9 months ago |
I had no expectations for Luna. It is not "Luna was not exactly how I wanted."
It's "Luna acted as if she has been locked in a dungeon since being brought back even though that literally does not make any sense at all". |
| davisjimmy #587058 9 months ago |
HeinousActsZX,
I wouldn't mind Pipsqueak showing up here and there in future episodes. |
| Anonymous #587090 9 months ago |
Pipsqueak is ADORABLE, really hope he shows up in future episodes |
| imnotgivingmynametoamachine #587094 9 months ago |
As for her odd actions, we haven't seen her since last season. Maybe she locked herself in her room to do some studying to try and get reaccustomed to royal duties. It would explain why when they visited Celestia during Discord's release, that she was nowhere to be seen. |
| Sygmus #587106 9 months ago |
I liked this episode, and I don't think Pipsqueak's introduction was entirely pointless. I'll even accept Luna spending an entire season out of the moon but still has outdated behavior.
The only thing I didn't get was this: The tale of Nightmare Night revolves strongly around Nightmare Moon herself, so why did everypony seem so clueless about who she was in episode 1? Pinkie Pie especially. "Hokey Smokes? Queen Meanie?" She had no idea. |
| imnotgivingmynametoamachine #587126 9 months ago |
@Sygmus - I thought about that too, but it could be because NMM was just an old mare's tale. It would be like if you saw Count Dracula for real. You wouldn't really believe it. That and Zecora was telling the history of NMN. Maybe not every pony knows the history of it, just like the history of Halloween |

*puts on shades* Fuzzy logic, to me. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH! |
| MaroonBunyip #587146 9 months ago |
Fuzzy, stop overanalising.
There was a lot left unexplained, which left plenty of room for more development for later episodes. They needed to establish the character more than anything first though, and they only had 20 minutes to do it. |
| Sygmus #587149 9 months ago |
@imnotgivingmynametoamanchine Well, since I'm fuzzy on the history of Halloween myself, I'll give that explanation a "fair enough." :P |
| Cawnen #587173 9 months ago |
It was just okay. Honestly, I think M.A. Larson should be writing less, and Meghan McCarthy should be writing more. Larson seems to always have lofty plots that sound good in premise but are just kind of boring to watch in final.

People should also keep in mind that Luna is princess of the night. Luna and Celestia may very well not have much interaction, since they have completely opposite shifts. |

Well, she was accepted because she reformed. Here, she comes down from heavens on a scary looking chariot, screams all the time and her every other word is punctuated by thunder. That's pretty scary, citizens of ponyville probably thought she returned to her villainous ways. |
| Anonymous #587299 9 months ago |
And Pinkie Pie scaring children for cheap laughs certainly didn't help. |
| Anonymous #587325 9 months ago |
This episode wasn't bad, but I really expected it to be better. I thought they'd have Luna be a bit more introverted.
With "Sonic Rainboom", I knew the episode would be great before the opening theme even played (yay.) |
| Anonymous #587332 9 months ago |
As for Luna's manners - old habits die hard, and she probably was talking like that all the time, back in the days of forging the Equestria from scattered pony tribes, after Discord's fall. Celestia probably didn't want to impose anything on her sister - she loves freedom too much. |

the episode is one of the best episodes ever WHO CARES IF SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS WERENT IN IT THE EP FOCUSED ALOT ON BACKGROUND CHARACTERS WHICH WAS REFRESHING |
| SpecialAnon #588765 9 months ago |
It was anti-climactic at the end, and TBH I never thought that I would come to hate Pinkie and RD more than anything when I saw this episode. Fluttershy's return to her usual shy self is quite a relief, especially with it being a festival of frights night. Also, I didn't mind that Rarity wasn't in this episode, because I knew that we'd be getting a supplement with the next episode anyway. I mean, the same could be said with "Fall Weather Friends" since Rarity wasn't in that episode either. And I'm kinda glad Pipsqueak didn't steel too much focus off Luna. Really though, this whole episode reminded me of A Christmas Carol (Pipsqueak was to Luna as Tiny Tim was to Scrooge). |
