While Twilight is on an adventure, her friends are stuck with party duty.

:sheepish: Whoops, that's the synopsis for the last episode.

:ponynet: Here we go, this is the correct one.

Shining Armour, the undisputed wife javelin champion.

Sombra was an interesting villain, even though he returned later it would have been nice to see still more of him. Image

Sombra was a nice villain, and I actually liked his redemption story in the comics (not a lot of the other things that came with it in that arc, but Sombra's story was nice).

Biggest flaw for this episode for me was that it should have been a Cadance episode. A story about how she saved the empire she was about to rule instead of how Twilight did it. Even worse was she's offloaded to cast a city sized shield. Something we had just learned in the very last episode, was something her husband is good at.

But Shining Armor had horn impotency malfunction warts... Sombra's magic messed him up.

I remember when there was a leak that came from datamining a flash game and when when we first saw King Sombra for the first time in a thumbnail portrait image. At first I thought he was a joke that was inserted by a programmer/designer because Sombra 100% looks like an edgy OC with the black coat, red and the goofy edgelord red-tinted horn. Color me surprised when that dork got official.
