I can't be only one whom was bothered by that? Then again this show seemed to discard any notions of horse anatomy after S1.

I'll try to explain the best I can...

For me, personally, it's the characters, setting, and optimistic message. I kind of like everything about this show, but those are probably the biggest things.

Characters: The characters are very entertaining, and all are enjoyable in their own way. No character really feels bad to me, even the villains tend to be entertaining in some way or another.

Setting: Magical fantasy/kind of modern with no humans and traditionally fantasy races. Dragons are a thing, along with pegasi, unicorns, griffons, phoenixes... and aside from the species, the society is kind of cool too. It's very... open, I would say. It has an interesting blend of tech levels (no cell phones, or cars, or guns), with a few modern things existing, mainly through magic (a little bit of autotune due to magic in one episode, one character is a DJ with turntables, etc).

Message: Really, the show is just optimistic. People can be friends with eachother, problems can be solved, but it's not all smiles and sunshine 100% of the time. There are character that are basically jerks, and heck, even major, world ending threats. But in the end, it'll all probably work out.

I guess if there are any additional reasons, it's the writing and the fandom.

Writing: I suppose it's subjective, but I like it. It can be really funny at moments, and the plotlines flow well enough. There have never been moments where I've stopped at a character's dialogue and thought "that didn't sound natural."

And, the fandom. Personally, I like it. There are a ton of great fanfictions out there, there's a lot of good art, and don't even get me started on the fan songs. Plus, the discussions that can take place, like on this thread. Lots of guessing about the world, about cultures, stuff like that.
I enjoy role-playing and ponies. I'm also descended from French kings, English kings, and Vikings. Can't speak anything other than English though.

Current catchphrase: "keep on keepin' on."

However, the time travel here wasn't quite like the kind of time travel I absolutely despise. It was still time travel, so there's that.


Total score for Season 5: 6/10, worst season so far.


What's wrong with time travel again?

Time travel always leaves plotholes. Always.

For one, if they kept going back in time to the same place, how come they not stumble upon themselves when they return to that exact point in time for the tenth time or so?

Also wonder how every future was different, even though the same stuff happened.

Something to do with butterflies and quants. :p
And perhaps they didn't stumble upon themselves, because it was not same past?

Then how would the pasts of other timelines affect the main timeline?
See? Timetravel is bad.

Everything is always connected in minute details. *nods*
..
Although I suddenly remember a scifi story where they travel back in time. Character #A says something about paradox of older and younger version of A existing same time, and that wouldn't universe have means to prevent such things. Character #B answers along lines of "Do you think that universe cares about such minute details as duplicates of same person".
Or perhaps history/time in Equestria is like history/time in Discworld. More of a suggestion than rule, and a mess, that's trying to be kept in order by secret society behind the scenes.
That's why there was both familiarity and discord. *nod*
:p

Even then it's best to leave it be. Nothing good can come of that. Before you know your name is suddenly Internet because you meddled with the timelines.
