@RY: Any specific thoughts now that the series is over?
Well, for one thing, I may owe some of my school friends an apology for possibly excessive skepticism on my part when they discussed having an interest in MLP. I am somewhat glad, though, that I was also reasonably civil in my disbelief; it means having less crow to eat.
I've found myself with the occasional compulsion to listen to a few of the show's songs again, namely "Winter Wrap-Up" and "Art of the Dress". Aside from that, I haven't felt particularly compelled to rewatch the series. (If I had felt this way, I would have ranked MLP as a literary work on my list of preferences up there with Eragon and a small handful of other works.) I am, however, considering having my mom watch episodes 4 and/or 14; the central themes of those episodes would have particular relevance to her.
I also spent a good deal of the season thinking that Rainbow Dash was male. I had a bit of cognitive whiplash when I heard the pronoun "her" being used in reference to that character.
