What was so great about this?
If anything, they're rushing into depth. It's bad enough there are trivial inconsistencies within episodes, now the premise is just iffy. Is it friendship? Destiny? Death? All-in-all, I was sorely bothered by how capricious this episode was.
And what was the lesson in the episode? And if there is any, it's poorly executed. It is a kids' show after all and an over-analyzer like me can't figure it out god knows what child can.
And don't get me started on the ending, which was just an arbitrary performance to satisfy a subplot that was long forgotten after we see a rather long narrative of Celestia's life and Twilight put through mortal danger. Literally, the last scene is Twilight smiling towards the audience feeling the pride of performing in the celebration.
And these characters. Pinkie was not "Pinkie". She was "The pink one that sometimes does something funny and is of no importance to anything."
Sorry for being a Nancy Sue. One thing I found positive was the background information which seems to be incredibly important because it stems back to the first episode of Season 1. The potion isn't destroyed or anything at the end. She's probably keeping it around somewhere to learn more about Equestrian History. If this element is forgotten, the the writing will be wobbly beyond redemption.
In the interest of time, this rant will end here; unlike the last one which you can see here

TL;DR

They try so hard to add depth to it and they are already at S4. The colorful garbage that spans from S1 - S3 can't be redeemed. They've gone far enough.

Either scrap this episode all together or not rush into it.

A couple of plots are going on at once-

Twilight is learning how to fly
We learn about Equestria's past
Mane 6 save the tree of harmony
The anniversary of the summer sun celebration

It's a very eventful episode which could at least have been 3 (Because you need to do the second one to do the third)

Also, how can we forget the keys!

They discover that they need to find keys of some sort...

That should take a season. Not to drag it it, but to not rush it.

Maybe they're making their way for something larger? Something that they can fill the season with, aren't you excited?

---------SPOILER------------

The only thing I found a problem with was that the "emotional" part didn't have enough time to set in.

Well of all the adventure arc this probaly my second or favorite episode. I really liked how they added that mysterious feel to it. Also i think it was a good idea they kind of sacrificed the elements of harmony. I mean it wasn't the most impressive way of defeating a villian. Now this is just my opinion, and i can't wait to see more of season 4. Yes my grammar here may be bad, but hey! I was lazy!

@Vezok

I agree
This is personally my favorite 2-parter of the series so far.

In an article by Faust she says herself

"On TV, though, I couldn’t tell one girl character from another and they just had endless tea parties, giggled over nothing and defeated villains by either sharing with them or crying–which miraculously inspired the villain to turn nice. Even to my 7-year-old self, these shows made no sense and couldn’t keep my interest."


Which is exactly what happened when discord was reformed.

So my guess is he really isn't reformed.

What's worse is that you jump over my quotation marks like an olympic hurdle and assume I'm the author of that whole paragraph.

Well

here's Faust's article

https://twitter.com/TheYosuppeeps/status/405910467547131904

I put the link to the article in this twitter link

or is that too much to wrap your ignorant head around?

Even though she's not working on the show anymore I'm certain their keeping her legacy going.

A missing comma is a marginal error

If you are going to play "grammar lord" with me that's just an indication that you lost the previous argument and are looking for some interruption.
What justice that did you. I can now do this-

Theistic anti-brony: 1
Atheist brony: 0
