>I am devided on how much I factor in personal enjoyment versus technical execution.
it´s quite complicated to sum up your thought into a number. I do beleive that the comments themselves add much more to what you actually feel than the score itself. Lots of people commit the mistake of mixing personal enjoyment with critical thoughts towards this material and I am one of those sinners that judge with the emotions (sorry for those who are looking for an unbiased view)

You haven´t only exposed this problem for judging the episodes but also for rating the fics posted around here. It´s a difficult topic by itself but at least, acknowledging that there is room to improve for this task, it sounds like a good humble sign from the biased reviewer.

>Still trying to figure all that out so my ratings may be subject to change.
yeah, opinions change over time and those ratings simply reflect what you felt towards that episode at the time you posted that message. It doesn´t mean that we are all looking at them with pure maths but at least, they work as a quick reference.

>you can justify them acting this way and it didn't bug me that much, but I still think the CMC slightly too childish mentality compared to where their characters are and some confusion on the preteen age I thought they had them at.
>It would require me to go through and look at other CMC episodes and consider their actions, and with whats coming up I think that my thoughts will be towards other characters to put it lightly
I have tried to give an explanation yet the fact that we are discussing with this much of a detail....you know, I am seriously considering that reviewing this show has felt more complicated than delivering political thoughts to me. No kidding but some fans are really picky towards small details and there is a point where I cannot comment all that much unless I spend extra time for it. Who said that a slice of life show that doesn´t have any filler could be even harder to judge than a show with ups and downs in filler?

If you manage to counter my argument with that subtle evolution in their maturity, props to you for taking that effort.

>I hadn't thought about from the first part of the ep when Apple Bloom asked sweetie, "are you sure you're not Twilight's sister?". It's a bit of a stretch but I can't fully disregard it as impossible that perhaps they were hinting a bit at something.
wow, I didn´t notice that line either. Trust me that I didn´t have that idea because of that question, just simply trying to explain the circumstance around that action.
