THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN (MORGAN FREEMAN VOICE): Yeah, you all remember that well-known quote, “Hello, I’m The Detective Librarian”. It all began last year, when a brony and a “Thomas” fan had his own blog called “The Detective Librarian”, where he wrote reviews, “Top Lists”, “Comparisons”, and even fan-fics on November 28-29, 2014. Ever since, he’s been getting praise for all the fans and followers on his blog and people who check them out, which lead us into reaching our “100TH EPISODE/REVIEW”!!!!!
AUDIENCE: *Applause and Cheering*
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN (NORMAL VOICE): Thank you! Thank you!! I’m The Detective Librarian and thank you ALL for helping me receive 100 reviews!! After all this time, I would never have imagined on how I got so much praise over my opinions about certain things, while fighting off my enemies, make new friends/allies, and working together with my rivals sometimes. Also, it’s the Season 3 finale on my blog and in order to celebrate those two events, I’m going to review the long-awaited Season 5 finale of “MLP: FIM”, “The Cutie–” *Alarm Sound Effect* Excuse me for a second. I’ll be right back!
-TDL’S Office, The Computer and Satellite Room (“Shadow the Hedgehog” Reference), 11:35 AM-
SHINING ARMOR: Detective! There you are!!
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Shining Armor, Ted! What’s going on?!
TED THE SCRIPT PERSON: Detective, our satellites have recently detected an armada of UFO’s in space that is approaching the planet Earth right now!!!!
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Relax, guys! It’s probably just another cameo of “Star Wars” characters, just like in my “Return of Harmony” review.
DISCORD: *POOF!* Oh, no! It’s more than that, it belongs to the Mormenian kind and there’s some-sort-of-space station with a large cannon connected to it that may impact the Earth!!
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: WHAT?! YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS??!!! I THOUGHT THAT THE MORMENIANS WERE DEFEATED, AS WELL AS ALCROX!!
SHINING ARMOR: You mean, “Alrox”?
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Whatever!
SHINING ARMOR: Well, it appears that they may have one last trick up their sleeves, by sending an army or that big space station to destroy the Earth!!
EVERYBODY ELSE:
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: YOU’VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!! THIS IS “STAR WARS” ALL OVER AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME, ON MY 100TH REVIEW AND SEASON 3 FINALE, AS WELL AS “FINALE MONTH” ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!
TED THE SCRIPT PERSON: Shining’s not joking this time. I think it’s time we fight back and see what they’re up to.
DISCORD: Uh, we already knew what they were up to, Ten!!!
TED THE SCRIPT PERSON: It’s “Ted” and oh, right!!
DISCORD: Sorry.
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Anyways, while we go an form an army to fight back and destroy that space station, it’s time we go and review “The Cutie Re-Mark”!! This episode came out yesterday on November 28, 2015 and was (like most Season Premieres and Finales) split into two parts on the very same day on the Discovery Family Channel. Now, many people, including myself, were excited for this episode, ever since a animatic clip of the beginning was shown at SDCC (San Diego Comic Con) because it marks the return of the Season 5 premiere antagonist, Starlight Glimmer. Really though, Starlight is thus far one of the series’ best villains of all-time because of many reasons!!! She’s manipulative, sneaky, communist, scheming, and very smart, secretly, while she pretends to be kind and friendly, which block her real colors from being shown. What will she do to get revenge on the Mane Six from foiling her plans from earlier this season, you’re about to find out!! Let’s watch the long-awaited finale that has finally arrived, “The Cutie Re-Mark”!!!
So, we start off this episode at Princess Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns in Canterlot, where Princess Twilight Sparkle (“Sparkle Sparkle Sparkle”– forget it) is practicing an upcoming assembly, where she’ll give out a speech that she’s going to host at the School with her cards, while Spike the Dragon is watching, while being bored by it. Later, the assembly starts and we get a brief nutshell of how the Mane Six got their cutie marks, which is “The Cutie Mark Chronicles” from Season 1 in a nutshell. For those of you who have not being paying attention for all those years, here’s how each of the Mane Six got their cutie marks in the Season 1 flashback.:
But, I digress, while Twilight gives out her cutie mark history lecture to the audience, she gets a glimpse of Starlight Glimmer, spying on her, before she looks again and notices that Starlight mysteriously disappeared. After the assembly, Twilight and Spike go back to Ponyville and they talk about Starlight’s strange appearance that occurred during that particular scene. Spike concludes that Starlight might be returning to get revenge on the Mane Six, after they foiled her plans from the Season 5 premiere and helped Starlight’s (brainwashed) villagers get their cutie marks back from being “equal”. However, they both dismiss the idea, until they go back to Twilight’s castle and into the Map Room, where Starlight Glimmer is waiting for them. Starlight them uses her magic to cast a spell on a scroll, which causes the Castle Map of Equestria to change. She then uses it to teleport through a portal and disappear, much to Twilight and Spike’s shock.
Spike then attempt to grab the scroll Starlight used to go through the portal, before the map creates ANOTHER portal that sucks Twilight and Spike in and travel back into the past, during the moment at the Cloudsdale Summer Flight Camp, when Rainbow Dash’s Sonic Rainboom caused the Mane Six to get their cutie marks. After Twilight reads the scroll Spike has, she realizes that it’s actually another spell belonging to Starswirl the Bearded, which involves time travel. Well, at least it’d better be epic than “It’s About Time”, even though it was a pretty decent episode, but looks like the audience already knows what Starlight’s up to, since it was leaked in the episode description. So–:
“It’s This One” indeed, Twilight! “Travel Back In Time So That The Mane Six Won’t Get Their Cutie Marks, So That She Can Have Her Village The Way She Wanted To And Her Plans Work, Scot-Free”!!!! So, Twilight and Spike decide to watch the race between Rainbow Dash and the bullies that caused the Rainboom. But, things go from bad to worse when Starlight uses her magic once again to stop Rainbow’s filly-self with a freezing spell, which causes one of the bullies to win the race, and the Mane Six’s younger selves to not get their cutie marks, at all. This causes another portal to divert our two heroes into Ponyville/Equestria in an apocalypse-like state, which means that it’s in the future. They also find that the map and the thrones are with them, not to mention the Equestrian map is screwed up. Wow, this gives me “Fallout” and “Fallout: Equestria” flashbacks, even though I’ve never read “Fallout: Equestria” and I’ve only heard bits and pieces of it, as well as that comic dub about Little Pip that goes like this.:
Anyways, Twilight and Spike explore the futuristic-apocalypse-like-Ponyville, that is now left in a ruined state. There are even things that aren’t in their own time in the normal present; such as Sugarcube Corner being replaced by a bread bakery and Sweet Apple Acres is now an industrial farm that looks more like a factory to me, which (of course) is causing the sky to change into what you would normally see in a pollution and stuff that involves the apocalypse. As they watch (bad future) Sweet Apple Acres being busy, (bad future) Applejack arrives outside, who (just to clarify, since Starlight messed with the timeline here) doesn’t recognize them. She doesn’t even know about the rest of the Mane Six, such as Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, except for Rarity, who is involved in something called “The Cause”, which is actually a war between King Sombra (the antagonist from Season 3 premiere, “The Crystal Empire”) and his army from the Crystal Empire that has been corrupted again, much to Twilight and Spike’s (again) shock. Twilight attempts to explain the situation to Applejack, before taking her to the Map, where we get more info about “The Cause” in this messed-up future-Equestria. It turns out when the Crystal Empire returned, King Sombra returned as well, turned his kingdom into chaos once again, and used his subjects to serve in his army of brainwashed-minions into fighting back against Princess Celestia and her army of royal guards.
We then see a fight between Celestia and King Sombra’s armies, which also shows a glimpse of future Rainbow Dash (with mechanical wings), Pinkie, and Maud Pie. This forced everypony in Equestria to help out with the battle to do their duty, work all day and night-long, and help fight back.:
Indeed, the war between King Sombra and Celestia/Equestria is more or less an Equestrian version of World War II, but without Adolf Hitler and his German Nazis and the Japanese army. After AJ’s lecture, she gets back to Sweet Apple Acres, while Twilight uses the Equestrian Map and Starswirl’s spell that Starlight altered to go back and stop Starlight from changing the past for the second time. But, as soon as they get back to the past, Starlight uses a spell to freeze our heroes in a crystal-like spell and explains what her plan is. She plans to send herself back-in-time, in order to change the past, even though Twilight attempts to stop her, Starlight will continue to get sent back to the past. If that happens, then Starlight will– You already get the rest. After she finishes her explanation, Starlight then taps on the crystal trapping our heroes inside, causing it to fall off of a cloud, keeping them afloat, and fall off and nearly into their deaths. But, luckily, Twilight uses her magic to break the crystal and set her and Spike free and they continue to look for Starlight in another attempt to stop her from continuing her plans.
But, they find Starlight, talking to Fluttershy’s younger self and the bullies about “anti-bullying” because of her conspiracy theories that “Everypony Must Be Equal”. Twilight tries to stop it from happening, but to no avail, before going to Rainbow Dash’s younger form, who is conveniently flying by, instead of being at the race that was supposed to be in the correct timeline. I have to admit, it is a pretty funny scene here.:
As you can tell, young RD learned about “Stranger Danger”, meaning that you shouldn’t talk or take things from strangers. As you can tell from the clip I place in here, one of Twilight’s plan to stop Starlight by talking to young RD fails. As Starlight taunts her, Twilight and Spike get sucked by ANOTHER portal that leads to ANOTHER FUTURE, but now takes place in the Everfree Forest!!!!! It also includes Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie in a tribe lead by Zecora, who accuse our heroes of being spies for Queen Chrysalis and her Changeling army, which concludes Part 1! After the–
TED THE SCRIPT PERSON (SPEAKER): DETECTIVE!! WE’VE ASSEMBLED A TEAM/ARMY THAT’LL HELP YOU FIGHT BACK AGAINST ALROX AND HIS MORMENIAN ARMY!!!!

FRANKIE HECK: Well– *COUGH* Let’s just say that Review Master has me in a shield bubble, just in case I nearly get killed and it’s a good thing too. Because I’M THE MAIN CHARACTER OF MY OWN SHOW, THE BOSS, AND I–
EVERYBODY: SHUT! UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FRANKIE HECK: AWW!!! FINE!!!:
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: 😡 Anyways, *Ahem* I guess it’s time we guys do what we have to do, “Stop the Mormenian Kind, Before They Destroy the Planet, Which Is Pretty Much As You’d Expect!”
SHINING ARMOR: *Sigh* Yeah. Very cliched, if you ask me!
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): OH, PUT A SOCK IN IT, YOU GUYS!!! LET’S GET MOVING AND FORM OUR ARMY!!!!
THE REVIEW MASTER (FUTURE): EXACTLY!!!
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Okay, okay. Let’s go!!
-Outer Space, TDL’s Battleship, Time Unknown, The Final Battle Begins-
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Okay, here’s the plan! Review Master (The Present Only) and I will go inside the space station and figure out a way to destroy it and confront Alrox, once and for all! Shining Armor, Ted, and Future Review Master will go and lead the other ships to fight back against the enemy ships.
SHINING ARMOR: GOT IT!!!
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Also, Frankie Heck and Timothy the Ghost Train, you’ll go and come with us to find the generator to destroy the space station, before it destroys the Earth!!
FRANKIE HECK: Okay, but let me make this clear!! I SHOULD BE THE LEADER BECAUSE– *Shining Puts Hoof On Frankie’s Mouth*
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: THANK YOU!! Anyways, let’s go, Review– Hey, where’d he go?
-One of the Ship’s Rooms-
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): *Writing In His Diary*
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Hey, Present Review Master!! We have to go!! Wait, what are you doing?
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, DETECTIVE!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Review Master, I’m serious!! We need to go, NOW!!!!! THE WORLD HANGS IN THE BALANCE OF OUR HANDS AND IF WE DON’T DO THAT SOON, EVERYONE’S LIVES WILL BE AT DANGER!!! DROP THAT DIARY YOU HAVE AND GET MOVING!!!–
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): OH, FINE!! I’LL SHOW YOU, I’VE NEVER TOLD YOU THIS BEFORE AND NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME!!! HERE!! READ IT!!!
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: *Reads RM’s Diary* Wait, YOU have a sister and a real name?
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): *Sigh* Yes. Yes, I do. Her name is Rosie Bernstein, while my REAL name is Trevor. Trevor Bernstein. Before I met you, my older sister, Rosie, was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago. We didn’t have enough money to help her get cured and I wanted to because she took care of me, after my parents got killed in a car crash when I was 10 years old. I decided to make my OWN blog in order to raise money for Rosie’s breast cancer.
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Why didn’t you set up your own account that helps fight for cancer, like those other Youtubers who did?
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): You see, Detective. My computer was very, very old and didn’t have a good internet connection with other websites, except for mine. I even tried to advertise about helping me raise more money to help my sister, but ALL that changed, when you came along as “The Detective Librarian” AND TOOK AWAY ALL THOSE FANS FROM ME!!!! As time went by and your first few days on my blog came, I started to get less attention and enough money to help and I thought that things couldn’t get any more worse than this! But, I was wrong, a few months after 2015 started, Rosie’s condition began to worsen and she died on February 28, 2015, as a result. I decided to help get a backup plan, by doing charities, asking my horrible-relatives to help, and buckets for money, but THEY DIDN’T WORK EITHER!!! By now, I REALLY WANTED TO GET RID OF THE ONE THING THAT RUINED MY LIFE AND CAUSED BY ONE AND ONLY SISTER WHO EVEN CARED ABOUT ME IN MY FAMILY, ROSIE BERNSTEIN, BUT YOU TOOK THAT MONEY THAT COULD ONLY SAVE HER LIFE AWAY FROM ME AND YOU STARTED TO GET MORE PRAISE THAN I DID, BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Review Master, I–I’m–I’m so sorry, I– I didn’t know that you were trying to help your sister who had breast cancer for a few years. I thought you trying to be more popular, like you said. I guess you were lying to make yourself look cool. <:'( But, we can’t think about it right now! We’re supposed to stop the Mormenians from unleashing an attack on OUR HOME PLANET!!!
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): *Sigh* Fine. Let’s go inside one of the escape pods!!
-One of the Ship’s Escape Pods-
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Now, while we get inside the Space Station, let’s continue our review of “The Cutie Re-Mark” Part 2!
So, we begin part 2 of our story when we get introduced to future/alternate Zecora. She decides to make sure that our heroes aren’t Changelings in disguise, by using a facepaint-thingy on them, which makes them the tribe’s own. We get explained why Ponyville is in the Everfree Forest; it’s because Chrysalis and her Changelings dominated Equestria and Zecora and her tribe have been forced to build their own sanctuary in the Forest, in order to hide from the EVIL Changelings. After Twilight tells Zecora about the situation with Starlight Glimmer and her plan to alter the past, Zecora shows a little lecture to her about how time can affect things in life, like a stream. It’s more like a video game to me, when you make a mistake, you have to go back and try and try again, until you give up and do something else, when it’s “Game Over”!!!! As our heroes explore the sanctuary, out of nowhere, the alternate/future versions of Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Applejack pop out of the bushes in fear and tell Zecora that the Changelings invaded Ponyville.
But, Zecora suddenly knows that they’re actually changelings in disguise, including (YOU GUESSED IT, EVERYBODY) Queen Chrysalis!!!!!!!:
I know!! FINALLY, EVEN THOUGH SHE APPEARED IN THE IDW COMICS, CHRYSALIS FINALLY RETURNS TO THE TV SERIES AFTER THREE SEASONS OF ABSCENCE, BABY!!!!!!!!!! 😀 As you’d expect, Chrysalis and her Changelings reveal their true forms and send their army of OTHER Changelings to attack the sanctuary and stop Zecora and her tribes’ rebellion against her. As Zecora and her tribe attempt to fight back against the Changeling attack, Twilight and Spike run away from the fight and attempt to get back to the Map to stop Starlight for the fourth time, while being chased by a group of Changelings. The Map sends our two heroes back to the past, where get a pretty epic fight between Twilight and Starlight.:
Well, it’s a good thing that the fight between Twilight and Tirek is more epic than this in “Twilight’s Kingdom”. After the fight, Twilight and Spike get sent back to–:
–ANOTHER FUTURE IN THE EVERFREE FOREST!!! However, it’s at night and for those of you who have seen the VERY first episode of the series, it’s possibly Princess Luna/Nightmare Moon ruling Equestria. They’re about to find out right about now, when a bunch of Timberwolves pop up and chase after our heroes and into a restored version of the Castle of the Two Sisters. But, when they get inside the Castle of the Two Sisters, they find out that Rarity is working for Nightmare Moon as her servant, while Rainbow Dash is one of NN’s guards in Nightmare Moon’s bad future. Wow, two characters in the show voiced by Tabitha St. Germain working together as villains, instead of allies?:
Also, instead of Nightmare Moon/Princess Luna being banished to the moon, Princess Celestia has been banished to the moon, instead. Wow, couldn’t this episode get any more crazier than this???!! 
But, you’ll wait and see, later. 😉 So, Nightmare Moon demands Twilight to tell her about the time-traveling spell Starlight created or else, they’ll be sentenced to get thrown in the dungeon. Twilight now tells her about how it’s run, including the Map as a time machine, before she explains about the events of Nightmare Moon in her own time and uses the Map to have her and Spike escape and figure out another way to prevent Starlight from continuing her evil scheme. But, as they attempt to stop her with a crystal spell, Starlight breaks out and continues her plan, while sending Twilight and Spike into different futures of other villains of the series, such as Tirek, Discord (OF COURSE), and the Flim Flam Brothers/The “Cheap Skate” Brothers. Wow, I’m surprise they didn’t include Gilda, Trixie, Sunset Shimmer, and the Dazzlings/Sirens (from “Rainbow Rocks”).
After this, Twilight meets up with Starlight and admits that she can’t stop Starlight from altering the past and the future. She tells her that the more this goes on, it’ll last forever and if she attempts to change the pasts, it may negatively effect the future. Starlight, however, doesn’t buy Twilight’s lesson and as she uses her magic (ONCE AGAIN) to keep filly RD in the wrong direction during her race with the bullies, another time portal opens up and Twilight decides it’s finally time to show her what the future will be if Starlight keeps doing it for the rest of her life and if Twilight never saved Equestria many times, as well as move to Ponyville. The future they come across is actually a desert that is more or less the apocalypse, again, and as Twilight tells about the adventure and how showing it will hopefully change Starlight’s mind, Starlight begins to get more angry than ever. She yells at Twilight because she never knew about Starlight and the reason why she thought that “equality” and removing cutie marks were essential for friendship. Starlight uses the Map to travel back to when she was younger, which is FINALLY explanation of why Starlight became a bad guy and wanted to remove everypony’s cutie marks and talents, while building her village in the desert from earlier this season.
Many years/moons before the series begins, Starlight Glimmer used to live in a village and once had a colt-friend named Sunburst. Sunburst and Starlight were BFF’s and they never were separated throughout their entire life, but it all changed when one day, they were stacking up a tower of books to the ceiling like dominoes. But, when Starlight removed one of the books (probably for re-shelving and similarity to “Jenga”), the entire book tower collapsed and nearly hit her, until Sunburst used her magic to stop the books from toppling down. This caused him to get his cutie mark and all the books to get shelved in their proper places, get sent to Canterlot as a special pony with his talent, while Starlight was left behind and never saw her friend or made new ones again, ever since. Why: Because Starlight never got her own cutie mark, Sunburst had his cutie mark and moved on, except for her, and Starlight was worried that if she made a new friend, a cutie mark might take the friendship away from her and another friend. Okay, look, you guys might think it’s dumb, but think about it, other people might get jealous over their friend getting a new talent and all the attention, while the other person didn’t and was worried that if he/she made another friend, the same process would continue again. But, it’s a good way to explain why Starlight thought of those conspiracy theories and became both a ponified version of Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler.
After Starlight shows our heroes her dark past, she teleports them and herself back to the past, when Rainbow as a filly raced, created the Sonic Rainboom, and caused the Mane Six to get their cutie marks. She decides the only way to stop Twilight from attempting to prevent her from continuing her plans, by ripping apart the scroll of the spell that allows them to travel back at anytime. As she does so–
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): *Ahem!* WE’VE ARRIVED, DETECTIVE!!!
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Oh, right. Looks like we’ll have to *sigh* save it (again) for later. 😦 :
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): *Enemy Ships Follow Our Heroes* *Gasp* DETECTIVE!!! THERE ARE ENEMY SHIPS COMING FOR US!!! FIGHT BACK!!!!
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: I CAN’T!!!! MY ESCAPE PODS DON’T HAVE MISSILES OR CANNONS TO STOP THEM, SADLY!!!! MOST ESCAPE PODS DON’T HAVE THOSE TYPES OF WEAPONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): YOU DIDN’T BUILD ANY WHAT????!!!!!!!! 😡
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Uh, oh. I’m sorry? *Nervous Chuckle* <:D
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): *Facepalm* You’ve got to be kidding me.
ALIEN-SHIP PILOT: FREEZE INTRUDERS!!!! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!! YOU ARE HEREBY UNDER ARREST UNDER THE MORMENIAN LAW AND THE SECURITY OF THE MOON DESTRUCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I REPEAT, COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP OR WE SHOOT THIS SHIP DOWN WITH YOU TWO INSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-The Moon Destructor, The Throne Room-
ALROX: Sir, there you are. I’ve captured two humans who tried to interfere with our plans for us Mormenians.
?????? (SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE): Thank you for bringing them to me. I can now make them do the one thing that we must do, ever since our plan to turn humanity into our kind was foiled by a man named “The Detective Librarian” and his friends!!!!
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: What the– ARE YOU THE–
ALROX: Yes, Detective and Yes, Review Master!! I was lying about me being the leader of the Mormenian kind. The REAL ruler of the Mormenians is none other than King Orkenia!!
KING ORKENIA (SPEAKING ALIEN): *Turns Around His Chair Throne* Welcome, Detective and welcome, Review Master. I’ve been expecting you, ever since I’ve heard about you two and how you were involved in stopping our last project to end all human life on Earth and change them into US!!!!
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): Uh, I was expecting you to be a high and mighty alien, instead of a tiny alien. Unlike Darth Sidious/Chancellor Palpatine/the Emperor from “Star Wars”.
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Come on, Review Master– I mean, Trevor!! He was probably born this way.
KING ORKENIA (SPEAKING ALIEN): Anyways. *Ahem* In order to eliminate humanity, our new law is that whenever we capture human beings, they have to fight each other, until they die. IF one of them dies, the winner shall be exterminated.
ALROX: What he means is that whoever wins in a battle of wits shall die. If the two humans battling each other get killed, then that’s the end of it, it’s our new way of destroying all humans, instead of converting them to our own.
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: A BATTLE OF WITS???!!! Did you two just make a reference to the sixth “Star Wars” episode, “Return of the Jedi”? I have a review to do, so, I have to continue. PLEASE!!! DO THIS FOR THE FANS!!!!
KING ORKENIA (SPEAKING ALIEN): *Whispers in Alrox’s Ear*
ALROX: He says, “Fine”, you can continue.
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: YES!!
Back to the story, Twilight confronts and tells Starlight that she didn’t know how much Starlight suffered during her childhood and convinces her that she can’t do this anymore because of how it will effect the future. She also tells her that she can make new friends and if there’s something outside her experience, she can solve it with her friend together, which is what friendship REALLY is about. Twilight offers her to give friendship a chance, but Starlight Glimmer refuses and we get an epic battle to the death once again that messes up the timeline and– No, no, wait, THAT would be the GREATER ENDING!!!!!! Instead, Starlight Glimmer, at last, sees the error of her ways and finally accepts Twilight’s offer to give friendship a chance, allowing Rainbow Dash’s first Rainboom to happen and have the Mane Six’s younger selves each get their own cutie marks. After this, the final time portal sends our heroes and Starlight back home to their own time, while the spell’s scroll gets sent away, never to be seen again. This causes Equestria to turn back to normal, as well as her friends, who show up and end up get disgusted when they see Starlight, but Twilight tells them about what the episode(s)’s events and Starlight’s past. After their discussion, Twilight tells Starlight about the negative results of a fallout between friendship and instead of punishing her (which would be better), they decide to give her another chance by having Starlight as Twilight’s student to learn more about friendship and the Mane Six (including Spike) are her early start for new friends.
This leads into the one (and the episode’s only song/cheap way to end this episode and this great season) song that we have to do called “Friends Are Always There For You”about how Starlight’s life changed when she lost her first friend and became evil, until she was reformed. During the song, she goes to the Village and apologizes to her villagers for all the things she did to them and at first, they (of course) abhor her presence, until they decide to forgive her for her mistakes. She also is seen hanging out and having fun with the Mane Six and you’ve gotta have another way to end this season, by showing a photo of everybody in Ponyville (including the background characters) and even the Mane Six and Starlight. Now, that was a bit anti-climatic, but it’s still a good ending to a really good episode!!!
KING ORKENIA (SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE): Now that that’s done, it’s time to fight!!
ALROX: YOU HAVE TO FIGHT, NOW!!!
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: Wait what?!–
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): *Uses a Lightsaber That Alrox and King Orkenia gave to Detective and Review Master*
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: WOAH!! HEY!!
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): YOU HEARD THEM!! LET’S FIGHT NOW!! I’VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO DUELING AGAINST YOU, ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: OH NO, YOU WON’T!!! RAA–
-2 Minutes of Lightsaber Duel, Later-
THE REVIEW MASTER (PRESENT): *Pain Groan* *Gets Up*

THE REVIEW MASTER/TREVOR BERNSTEIN (PRESENT) (DYING): Detective….I’ve seen this episode and I have to admit, it was a really…Good..Conclusion to a really excellent. Season. 5!! What…Do you think? *Heavy Breathing*
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: I have to admit, the ending to this episode was really unexpected and Starlight Glimmer reforming was a little bit anti-climatic and I have to agree with ToonKriticY2K that it could’ve been better. But, overall, this episode was really good to a really fantastic season that has been a MUCH better improvement over the last two seasons!!! It really answers the questions bronies like us have been asking and the theories we’ve been wondering about, such as what would happen if Twilight never moved to Ponyville, befriended the Mane Six, saved Equestria a dozen times, and even became an Alicorn Princess of Friendship. Also, Starlight Glimmer is still a great villain, but, I would agree that I would’ve preferred her sacrificing herself or being erased from existence (like in “The Flash” from CW), but, I’m still happy over what we got. The animation is still great, the action was well-done, the humor is funny as always, and I do like how ALL the series’ villains returned in the bad futures, such as Chrysalis, King Sombra, Nightmare Moon/Luna, Discord (even though he’s a recurring character), and even Tirek. Hopefully, the next time we have a season-long villain, he/she won’t be reformed and may still go where the villain wants to go until that same villain’s plans are foiled.
Other than that, this episode was really solid, even if it wasn’t as good as the last season finale, “Twilight’s Kingdom”, (which is STILL ONE OF THE BEST EPISODES OF ALL TIME). The animation was great as always, the humor was good, it’s nice to see villains, such as Tirek and Chrysalis again, and the action was really well done. Despite some issues that needed to be changed, I first gave it a 9.5/10, but it’s now an 8.5/10, now. My thoughts on Season 5 are that I thought it was a HUMONGOUS step-up from the two previous and has become one of my favorites so far. The animation is getting better, the writing has improved, the jokes and references are getting a LOT better, and most of the episodes and songs were really fantastic (even if some weren’t and were okay). Since I gave this episode an 8.5/10, I’ll be giving this season a 9/10 for such a HUGE improvement after “Two Strikes and a Homerun” for the series. There, those are my thoughts on this episode and Season 5 itself.
THE REVIEW MASTER/TREVOR BERNSTEIN (PRESENT) (DYING):…Thank you… Detective. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me…That was the last review I ever needed for my career and…..My life. *Coughing* I was wrong…Rosie taught me that “You Don’t To Control Everything In Your Life That You Hate and You Have to Face Them With Confidence and a Faithful Soul”……Go. Help me finish what my sister started…Please.
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: *Sad Sigh* I will, Trevor. I promise.
THE REVIEW MASTER/TREVOR BERNSTEIN (PRESENT) (DYING): Actually. Instead of calling me that…Call me…”The Review Master” once again. The new “Review Master” is you, Detective. Keep your old name and I’ll keep my other name I chose…….”You’re The Detective Librarian and….Happy 100th Review for One Year and I’m Very Proud of You and how You Received Many Praise and a hundred reviews after all this time…..I’ll always be here in the reviewing community. I promise…..” <:’) *Dies*
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN:
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN (CONTINUED): *Sigh* I will, Review Master…..I promise. *Cries Deep Down Inside*
TED THE SCRIPT PERSON (RADIO): DETECTIVE!! THIS IS TED!!! LISTEN, WE JUST WITNESSED THE FUTURE REVIEW MASTER FADING AWAY, LIKE HE’S BEING “ERASED FROM EXISTENCE” OR SOMETHING!!! IS THE PRESENT REVIEW–
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN: HE’S NOT ALRIGHT!!! I REPEAT, BOTH REVIEW MASTERS HAVE DIED!!! WE NEED YOU TO COME AND GET US, IMMEDIATELY!!! IT’S TIME WE MOVE ON AND TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT “THE REVIEW MASTER”………*Putting Head Down and Crying for a Little Bit*
(Reference to “Star Wars” Episode VI: “Return of the Jedi”)
-A Few Days Later, Planet Earth, The Cemetery, The Review Master’s Funeral-
EVERYONE:…………. 😥
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN (MAKING A SPEECH): *Ahem* It’s me, The Detective Librarian and I would like to tell you ALL a story about how the Review Master came to be. He began as a normal man named Trevor Bernstein, who lost his parents when he was really young and his sister, Rosie, took care of him ever since. But, she would be diagnosed with breast cancer years later when they grew older and Trevor created “The Review Master” to help raise money for his sister. Until, I came along and people started following me instead, which made him angry about it and his anger grew and grew, when Rosie passed away months later. At first, I thought that our conflict between me and his organization known as “The Hunters” would never end, until Review Master died, but, I was the one that created this conflict in the first place. It all changed when I learned about how he officially came to be a few days ago and he learned that you don’t need to eliminate everything that is negative to your life and all you need to do is face them with confidence and a kind spirit. It’s time that we finish what we started by helping raise money for his sister’s hospital that is still going bankrupt and we have to give the kindness he gave, after sacrificing himself to save me by destroying the ruler of the Mormenian kind. Where ever you are, Review Master AKA Trevor, you’ll ALWAYS be one of us and part of our hearts and souls of review-making. <:'(
-Later-
THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN (MONOLOGUE): Ever since I first arrived, me and Trevor fought for our lives to figure out who is a superior reviewer and the ultimate one as well. But, in the end, I learned that sometimes, fighting never solves your problems and you need to face your negatives with confidence. Today, a new day is dawning for reviewing…A day where things will turn out just fine…..
-THE END-
-HAPPY 100 REVIEWS FOR “THE DETECTIVE LIBRARIAN” AND GOOD-BYE SEASON 3 OF REVIEWING AND WE’LL SEE YOU ALL NEXT SEASON FOR SEASON 4!! TOODLES!!! 😉 –
