<![CDATA[CJF’s MLP Reviews: Princess Spike]]>I’m not impressed. Episodes centered around Spike are very lacking, almost like the writers have no idea what to do with the little dragon. Then Season 4 came along and gave us “Inspiration Manifestation” and “Equestria Games,” all of which challenged the character and helped him grow. It’s a shame to see an episode that is neither of those two and takes a step back. I don’t hate “Princess Spike,” but I don’t love it either.

It starts at a summit in Canterlot, where ponies from all over Equestria join together and learn about one another. We are introduced to a statue that Princess Cadence carved up with gemstones, each representing the cities. That will come into play later.

After an exhausted Twilight speaks to the crowd, Spike proceeds to say a few things. However, the crowd doesn’t even notice him and give praise to all four princesses. Way to start things off, episode, as if that wasn’t contrived enough.
