I'm curious as to WHY Starlight believes the way she does...whether it started as a lie, she seems to believe her own propeganda.

It was a great episode and start to the new season. I am excited to see where the map will lead Twilight and her friends to. I am also curious as to how Discord will fit into things

I think you're expecting too much if you expect anything particularly unique out of My Little Pony.

Steven Universe is also for little kids and it's deeper than overdone repetetive messages. If we stop expecting more then we are allowing low quality stuff to happen

I said My Little Pony in particular, not children's entertainment at large. Steven Universe is a good show that touches on some interesting themes, although I think some people do have a tendency to exaggerate just how unique that show is.

let's see
>age gap crossspecies relationship between a man and genderless 5000+ y old alien
>implied lesbian relationship of Pearl and Rose
>confirmed lesbian romance of gems who creates Garnet
>the only cartoon where boy have 4 parents/3 moms
>episodes about boy and girl turning into one female entity
>females consist of characters that appearance would seem unattractive {fat&short, anorectic&flat chested, bulky emotionless giant) yet the writers allow us to see their true interesting characters. They don't depend on "cute" or "sexy" look to gain viewers attention like ponies have with moe appearance
That's some more original concepts than just "strong female leads" that are present in MLP. And SU characters have more personality traits than "this one is shy" this one "want to be cool" etc

Yeeeeaahhh.
I do actually watch the show, so you didn't need to type all of that out. I am well aware of how Steven Universe is structured, so you're preaching to the converted.

Redfields In reply to Cuddlepug [2015-04-04 18:48:13 +0000 UTC]
Just wanted to point out that the show is more unique than MLP is. I think Faust would made this show better just like Rebeca Sugar with SU.
Now is just some good episodes of MLP in an ocean of crap. And good episodes only come from messages taken from other sources like this premiere. Bravo for a more mature theme but is still not really anything groundbreaking. The most brave thing they made so far is implication of AJ parents being dead and Lyra/Bon relationship in Rainbow Rocks

I doubt many people would deny SU is more unique than MLP.

I enjoyed this episode a lot. It was fun seeing what they did with the village and the Mane Six's reactions to it (Fluttershy's was my favorite, since you don't often see someone like places like this but don't want to immediately convert to it). I hope to see more of Starlight Glimmer in the upcoming season!

I give it an A too. A very solid episode that's not only good but dark at times and I feel with Season 5's theme regarding cutie marks and destiny, it's the start of a long journey.
