My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Uncommon Bond

Today's episode was written by Josh Harbor (who has been writing for the show since season 4) and Kevin Lappin (which this is his third episode). It is the first time they wrote an episode together. The episode was boarded by Marta Demong (who this is her third episode boarding for the show) and Kat Dela Cruz (who started boarding for the show in season 6).

This is a highly entertaining episode with a good lesson. All the characters here are at their most likable. Twilight is also at her most geeky which is always a huge plus. Starlight's feelings are real to us and fully understandable. Many of us have felt like her here at least once in our life. Sunburst is also equally likable as he still cares deeply about Starlight but just isn't sure why she is acting this way. On top of this much of the episode's humor is top notch. From Starlight waiting for the train to Maud's brilliant sense of humor to simply the look on Twilight's face as Starlight compliments her. This is an excellent episode and a highly recommended one.
