Pony General:"Season 12 will never air" edition.

 Review:Season 3 Premiere (ALPHA)

As for Sombra, holy crap. A man of no words, and he's badass to the bone. Sadly, once he speaks, HE LOOSES.

 Spoiler

His voice was better than I expected. Unfortunately, the fact that he didn't talk that much or do anything major before he vanished into thin air kinda makes him forgettable. =/

 Episode 1: The Crystal Empire

Review
I kinda wish this show would decide between being pure action or pure comedy, cause 2 parters, being that their main focuses are taking down the villain, are really disappointing, ever since Season 1. If this was an action show, magic would get things done quicker, brawls would ensure, and possibly have enough time for a proper ending other than a rushed deus ex machina. No wonder MLP fans would recommend slice-of-life episodes. Somber hasn't even done anything major. Weakest villain by far.

That doesn't mean I dislike this episode, cause I really enjoyed this episode. My only main gripes about this. The songs... they honestly felt mediocre compared to previous songs. Oh, and while Twilight is walking up/down stairs, why can't she teleport her way? Magic-consuming? Even though teleport has killed the ending of "Dragon Quest" for me, there are times where it's necessary to do so, like travelling. I liked the gravity spell, though. I compliment new spells.

Favourite bits are probably gravity sliding, Pinkie coming out of her Fluttershy disguise, and crystal form Rarity @_@

Oh god, THIS picture. Pinkie Pie performed some Witchcraft on herself. No this wasn't shopped.

AHAHAHAHA I call bullpomegranate on that! That cannot be real.
