Alright, just reaction posts for now, and probably more pontificating later. So for those who haven't watch yet, SPOILERS AHEAD.
SPOILERS...
I WARNED YE!
HERE WE GO!

Spreading distrust amongst the three tribes? Insidious! It's like we're taking a full circle back around to how it all began. Chrysalis being involved is no surprise, and this is actually a really good plan. I mean, if you can break down bonds of friendship, the Mane Six will lose their power, maybe? Still, good plan. Dastardly, even.
Holy crap! Cozy Glow has a horn! She's an alicorn!
Discord was Grogar!
Twily made Spike her royal advisor!
Pony racism rears its ugly head already.
Discord is now unveiling his plan, and hoo boy, it's a doozy. So it was he who brought back the villains, and now his plan has gone to *yay*.
Flutters broken heart is painful.
I'm loving John Delancie's last role as Discord here, it's hilarious if nothing else. That said, Discord's actions have shaken Twilight's confidence.
Still, she mobilizes everypony to protect Equestria and the frontier. I love Twilight.
Cozy Glow makes for an adorable evil chaotic Alicorn.
Best line so far: Spike to Discord: "Dude, read the room."
Holy cow! Cozy Glow showed up at the throne room and smacked down Twilight!
Yay! The Pillars of Equestria are involved! Unfortunately, Tirek dispatches them with ease and takes their power.
Uh oh, Chrysalis is about to attack Starlight at the school! Kick her ass, Starlight! Also, Starlight has some great one liners here.
Now we get to see what the Sisters can do to Cozy Glow.
Um... it's not good.
Fluttershy has new best line: "Fly my pretties!"
The three villains have Twilight and friends cornered, and friendship is on the brink of destruction as Twilight is forced to flee as her friends protect her escape! Looks bad!
(End of Part 1)
We're back in part 2...
Chrysalis has trapped everypony in cages, and Discord's in chains!
At least we know the villains infighting leaves an opening for exploitation.
Good thinking, Discord! Nice trick, also, yes, Tirek is a cretin.
They shot Starlight! You bastards!
Wow, the friction between the tribes is getting worse. The pegasi are blocking off Cloudsdale, and Ponyville is insular and angry.
Yay, Twiliy is safe in the Crystal Empire! Though her confidence has been shaken. It's okay, Twily, I love you.
The Windigoes are back!
It looks like everything is going back to before the three tribes united. It's wild!
Fortunately, our core Mane Six are still together, and giving each other the love and support they need. Oh, I'm not crying here. Not at all.
Flurry Heart is as adorable as ever.
"What are we going to do Twilight?!" "The same thing we always do, Pinkie. Try to save the world!"
Pinkie and the Brain reference here. This is the new best line in the show ever.
Epic battle begins.
Rarity has grown in her magic. Shields, teleportation, awesome!
Holy pickles! Dragons, and changelings, and yaks, oh my! YISSSS! Epic battle embiggens!
Yay, we get to see the Student Six, and they've been spreading the magic of friendship! It's helping! Woohoo! Oh, I love this so much! I mean, not crying! Not crying!
Oh pickles, shield's gone.
Yes, Twily, do it! Do it! YES! Do it!
A BILLION TONS OF RAINBOW LASER, BIATCHES!
Pinkie used Discord's magic from the bell! Oh Celestia yes!
All power has been restored to its proper place.
So the big three villains are turned to stone. Wow!
Celestia, Luna, and Discord bow to Twilight! *love*
Post-apocalyptic donut.
All that's left is the wrap up episode, so here we go!
...
Spike, you've grown!
Twily! You're so beautiful and majestic!
Gallus is a guard? We're in the future! It looks like some time has passed since the last episode. Oh my goodness, look how wonderful they all are!
So from the opening we find out that yes, many years have passed. Oh wow, how are things now?
Flashback story it is.
Ha! Lyra and BonBon are canon married! THEY'RE MARRIED! BEST FRIENDS!
Don't cry Twilight, because I'll cry! *cries*
*CRIES MORE*
Celestia and Luna retirement speech. *CRIES*
Everything is going wrong. I love it.
Gummy setting off the fireworks! See, Pinkie? He did it sort of!
Everything went awful at Twilight's coronation, but it all worked out and I love it. lol
PINKIE PIE AND CHEESE GOT MARRIED! THEY HAVE A FILLY NAMED LITTLE CHEESE!
RARITY HAS GRAY IN HER HAIR (but still looks fabulous)!
APPLEJACK AND RAINBOW DASH ARE A COUPLE! THEY'RE MARRIED! SUCK IT! YEEEEEAAAAAAAAHH!
FLUTTERS AND DISCORD ARE STILL TOGETHER!
Celestia and Luna are moving to Silver Shoals. Interesting.
ONE MORE SONG! *CRIES*
...
The CMC are instructors at the school of friendship! Cool!
...
It all turned out great, really great! Our ponies went on to live happy lives together forever.
END CREDITS!
OH NO, IT'S OVER! *CRIES HARD*
This show means so much to me.
