I know it's early to make this thread, but season 3 is fast approaching! So once you see episodes one and two please post your thoughts here! I'll be making individual threads for each episode instead one big thread so people can avoid spoilers. Episode one and two are combined because they premiered on the same day.

Loved the end when spike got to save the day!(my favorite part) The storyline was great and the touch of humor made it even better.

I was very please with the first two episodes. Is it me or do bad guys have a thing with stairs? XD I'm glad Spike got to save the day as well! Too bad that the bad guy this time around didn't have much screen time. Oh well, he shall remain a mystery.

Is it just me or did the crystal palace remind you of crystal Tokyo from sailor moon ? XD I would have liked to have seen more from king samba and delve more deeply into his character. I mean where did he go? I also wonder why season three is so short? I'm glad apple jack is getting more episodes. She always gets jipped! :/

King Samba didn't talk much either. :/ I really wanted to see more his character. He's our first male evil unicorn.

So I'm I the only one who really didn't like these episodes.... I mean there not bad but I feel like what they wanted to do didn't really go all the way. But that's just how I felt. That and the villain was a bit of a disappointment for me.

Well, if you think of it like this:
In the past season premiers the villains weren't completely fleshed out either. yeah they had talking roles, but we didn't know that much about them. Like Discord for example. Where did he come from? Why is he evil? All we knew was that he liked to cause chaos.
Also the season premiers of 1 and 2 mostly focused on the friendships of the ponies. Season 3 however only focused on Twilight's and Spike's friendship and the Crystal Ponies. I'm glad they did that. We already know by this point that mane 6 have a strong friendship. It's nice to see Spike got the spotlight and we learned about the Crystal Ponies. It's great to see other countries in Equestria.
Was it the best season premier? No. It was decent and I liked it. Besides I feel like the team's main focus should be the finale of the season. You need to end the season on a high note. I bet the finale will focus on the what Cesletia has in mind for Twilight's future. I really look for forward to that. ^^ Luna will finally become a larger character.

Well at east with Discord he was more enjoyable. He just loved messing with the ponies and chaos. He didn't really need a back story ONE because its a kids show. Two, he just loved discord and chaos. So with that he looked more threatening to the ponies because he broke up there friendship for a short time. Like Nightmare moon she tried to destroyed it, but it was there first show but it came out good. I guess with this one they were more focus on Twilight because I KNOW shes going to be playing a huge role later on in the show. Like work next to the princesses or maybe be one herself.
But I think what REALLY bugged me was that saving the whole kingdom was a TEST! That bother me. This shouldn't be a test, it should be a priority. If they didn't called saving the kingdom a test it wouldn't get to me. But I figure it is a set up to something in the future with Twilight. Remember this is my opinion. I'm not saying I hate the episode but maybe im nitpicking here....

I think the reason it was a test to see if Twilight could handle something big like saving kingdom for example. The princess have something plan for Twilight. I can feel like it will be greater than saving a kingdom.
Like you said it is a kids show. We can't expect something greatly detailed. I know Discord is more enjoyable and we don't need to know his back story. But my point that I was trying to make was all villains in MLP don't have a detailed backstory. It's just past villains from the seasons 1 and 2 were given major speaking roles. Sombre or however you spell was not. Maybe he was given a major speaking role he would have been more enjoyable to watch. He wasn't a main focus in the episode though so there was no need to. We were able to learn about a different culture of ponies and see Spike shine in the spotlight.
