Hey guys!

Time for the afterthoughts on "Uncommon Bond"! I have been waiting for so long to do this one!

---

Now, if you don't know yet, I'm a huge fan of Starlight and shipper of Starburst, to have them both together is a recipe for success for me! And this episode certainly goes in my top spots of the season, right alongside with "The Perfect Pear" and "A Royal Problem"!

It was very great to see how Sunburst had much in common with Starlight's friends and how he got along with them. But I have to say that when I first read about what the episode was going to be on, I thought it would be with Sunburst and the Mane 6, of course there's Twilight, but instead of the rest of the Mane 6, we get Maud and Trixie. Which I'm not at all upset about, in fact it was rather surprising! But there were hints of shipping Sunburst with them… And I was like… "Don't you dare girls… Sunburst is Starlight's! Fiveever!"

Speaking of Sunburst, we get to learn a ton about him that we didn't know about before, such as that he's into antiquing and that he's not comfortable going about without wearing his cape. (By the way… I was like… "Sunburst… you're a pony… you don't naturally wear clothes!)

And when Sunburst spends his time with Twilight, Maud, and Trixie, we get some background music, which I liked and wished it would have turned into a song… Really feel like that was a missed opportunity…

Now I would like to mention several smaller things I noticed…

"This shop looked a lot smaller from the outside." -Starlight

Now when did we hear something like that before… Oh right the Season 6 premiere! And yet Starlight still thinks places she visits are smaller that she thinks… You would think she would have learned that lesson now…

Also Trixie… Still turning things into teacups… Did you not see how many teacups Spike had to wash in All Bottled Up!

And Starlight… I like how you showed your strength by getting an apple down the Apple family way… But you realize you're a unicorn right? You could have just brought down a single apple with your magic…

Oh and you realize this is the second time you damaged Twilight's castle right... First with making a wooden mane for Rarity out from one of the library doors and now you broke the floor of the library... Not to mention that Ember also literally ate from the crystal pillars of the dining room!

Now… I would like to mention one final thing and that is the very end of the episode… When Sunburst is done with his visit and is on his way back to the Crystal Empire…

If you remember when I posted what the finale, Shadow Play Part 1, will be about…

"When Sunburst discovers the lost journal of Starswirl the Bearded, Twilight becomes obsessed with saving her magical idol from a thousand-year-old prison."

One of the books from the mystery barrel that Sunburst got from the antique store is the lost journal of Starswirl!

But that's all I'm going to say on that because we have yet to see the finale! (Unless you already did, like me!)

Well that's it!

Of course next time is going to be the afterthoughts for the finale! And boy do I have a lot to say again about it!
