"Saddle Row Review" review by the HeroofBergen · 7:45pm May 21st, 2016
"What in all of Tartarus is this episode!' A phrase that I said so many times this episode. This was probably one of the funniest episodes of the series in a long time.

I had some thoughts about the interesting structure of the most recent episode, Saddle Row Review (obviously there's gonna be a lot of spoilers!). Hear me out, I haven't seen anyone talk about this aspect just yet (though it's only been one day)
Man. Watching A Hearth's Warming Tail is like watching Magic Duel for the first time: so many awesome things I always wanted (even if I never knew I did!), I can't help but feel pandered to. And Trixie's not even in it!
Or 'The Saddle Row Review,' since there seems to be some mixed signals on what the official name of E#09-S#06 is.
Caught a live-stream for once... and wowzers, does America have obnoxious commercial breaks. One right after the opening song, really?
Still... You know the drill.
That moment when the show randomly brings up a 3.5-year-old episode which has been the focus of a fanfic you've been working on for slightly less than 3.5 years also - well, "on" and "off", anyway. Mostly 'off', admittedly.
What do you mean, "only one chapter published"?
so, brief update.
That happened.
which ruins the novelty of the fic I'm heavily pumping work into since before season 5 started.
This is my new spoiler warning and you can't stop me.
Okay, so I’m set to watch the episode, right? Knew it was a Rarity episode, some kind of shenanigans involving the rest of the Mane Six at some point, not much beyond that. This? This was not what I expected.
Ah, thank you.
What? No, I just ordered the pancakes because I can't digest, like, half of the menu. Hay. Human. Not a good mix. Don't worry, your expense account is safe with me. Where was I?
Right. Now, I’m not saying it was bad. I’m not sure what I expected, but this…
Ha! We all knew this would happen! Some of these are made after the episode... it was so fast. But anyways... come, and sing with me! SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP!
Check it out!
This episode, though. This episode, though!
Remember the fic I talked about a while ago? The one that Rubahhitam won as a prize for winning the latest Cutie Mark(ed) Crusaders fic contest? It's now published!
Remember Backstage Affair? Judging by the high number of favourites it got, a lot of you sure do.
Well, for everone who doesn't know it yet, the fic has now a sequel! A short time after writing the fic, Erina Tail Yellow hit me up per PM and asked if she can write a sequel. Since I never planned to write one, I of course agreed.
All right, this is a bit of an interesting episode. Obviously, this marks another milestone for Rarity, having been able to expand her business twice with success, gradually rising in renown. She's achieving her ambition! Only, one thing, at least her friends fear, might stand in the way of this. So, an opportunity to watch Rarity's friendships, and their bonds with each other, with usual sentimentality. I enjoyed it. Nothing too particular, just a good episode to
