Live thoughts as I watched it on my own:
-There's the intro. I didn't make it past it my first time around
-The voices are noticeably different. I knew Dash and AJ's voices had changed cause that was super obvious, but I forgot just how different Twi and Spike sound now.
-"Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle". I've missed that
-They never went back to this all-night, pre-Summer Sun celebration rave
-I love old Pinkie. She's great nowadays, but she isn't this hyper nowadays, and it's great.
Part 2:
-"It ain't natural". AJ you're a farmer you should know how nature works.
-Just noticed that extra line at the base of the horns. It looks pretty weird now.
-And there's that time Rarity killed a dragon.
-What was Nightmare Night's plan if RD decided to join the Shadowbolts? I'm not sure she thought this through.
-"Huh Twilight, I thought you were full of shit but I guess this stuff is real after all"
-Yeah right Celestia, this all went according to plan. Maybe you should've told Twilight to make some friends earlier instead of waiting for the very last minute.
-Fuck my friends in Canterlot, I have new better friends.
I never liked the pilot that much, but it remains a great introduction to the characters
