Okay, I just got caught up. The only thing I did miss was the starting song and Twilight finding out everything that had gone wrong.
I will admit, it does feel rushed. However, as I think back through this season, a good chunk of episodes were rushed as well. The third season in of itself felt like it was originally planned to be longer. One with multi-part episodes, much like the original 1980s MLP was. Unfortunately, the writers had to make shortcuts for whatever reason here.
I wouldn't be surprised if the last episode was meant to be a multi-parter as well. The songs helped in making sure that they got it done in the time limit they were given.
I am one who has a hard time crying, but I did feel like doing so with the Princess Twilight's speech near the end. I'm not one who is ashamed to admit tears, unlike Shining. (Liquid Pride... right!
: )
Oh, and the fans pointed out that Derpy reappears at long last near the end. Yet, they tried REALLY hard to keep her hidden. It was as if they were hiding her from the hypocritical parents that were against her. So yeah, I think the writers might be trying to pull a "screw you" on them. We'll have to see though.
Overall, it's good for what it is. The songs are good and they did very well with the whole plot of the episode. Definitely a satisfying one to end on.
Well, time to start waiting for the next season again. Last one felt like FOREVER to come. A part of me thinks that the delayed wait was due to the writers being forced to do 13 episodes, but who knows?

Anyways, that's all for now and I'll see ya later!
