For some reason, I could have sworn this episode was called “The Hooffields and the McColts” until I wrote this episode review.Though B is the most common grade I’ve given episodes of this show, season 5 has actually gotten ten A’s so far-eleven if you count The Cutie Map twice-and only seven B’s. All three of the season’s friendship mission episodes successfully follow a formula while bringing out new accomplishments from the Mane 6, letting each one use their skills to do something cool. The conflict in Griffonstone is probably the oldest of the three, given that it’s regarded as ancient bogus folklore, while the problem in Manehattan is easily the most recent (unless you think Coco Pommel is secretly hundreds of years old) the situation in the Smokey Mountains is in the middle. And like the other two friendship mission episodes, the conflict resolves around restoring a faraway place’s long-forgotten sense of community and friendship. As with the other such episodes, this one gives Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy plenty of time to be themselves while solving a genuine friendship conflict. I’ve consistently enjoyed each season 5 episode that pairs up Mane 6 members. Fitting the episode’s theme, the credits play some bluegrass music. But instead of that… well, we’re going to see what happens soon enough. Since we’re near the end of season 5, I bet viewers were meant to speculate that in the season finale, the Cutie Map would send the Mane 6 to another surprising location. Fluttershy says an enthusiastic “yay”, and Twilight Sparkle speculates about where the map will send them next-perhaps another mission with all six of them.
