Really good. It seems like there was so much going on in this episode, it's a wonder they were able to fit it into 22 minutes. :here:

This was the most ethically troubling episode because it implies a rigid linear structure to time that makes even attempts to go back in time merely another link in the chain; everything is fixed, causality is merely rhetorical, and free will is an illusion. Twilight Sparkle will have always gone back in time. To ask why is pointless; she will have gone back to inspire herself to go back.

S5E26 kind of dunked on that, by not only directly showing the characters messing up a specific event but doing so in numerous ways with numerous outcomes, and I hate it, because it's not as existential.
