Season 3 Episode 1: Crystal Empire Part 1



The Hub has decided to start giving people a way to watch their shows without trying to have the channel. It is difficult for many My Little Pony fans to watch the episodes legally considering now many TV providers have the Hub channel. So now they upload the episodes to their website for everyone to watch!


The season 3 premier has brought up a new kingdom in Equestria. The Crystal Empire was hidden for a thousand years and has finally reappeared, but it is in grave danger. Only one pony can save it, Twilight Sparkle, with the help of her friends of course. When Twilight goes to the Crystal Empire she see's that her brother Prince Shining Armor, and his wife Princess Cadence is there trying to protect the Empire as well.


Personally I find this episode to be a rather poor beginning to the new season. There seems to be quite a few plot holes in it and inconsistencies with the past of the series. For example, Princess Celestia says she knows very little of the kingdom yet she was alive when it around before. Also in the flashback it shows two Alicorns defeating the evil King, one looks like Celestia while the other looks like Luna, but Luna by that time was already in the moon as Nightmare Moon. Not only do these inconsistencies bug me, but the way certain characters act bug me as well. Princess Luna seems rather uncertain of Twilight's abilities in this episode, and seems to look down on her with how she was animated. Perhaps this wasn't what they meant to do but the glaring Luna did in this episode seemed rather out of character for who she is. All in all, I find the first episode to be a let down for the show.
