Lol it's funny I never catched up the actual title of this two parter until now :P

As for me, well - I am very impressed with what they did. It wasn't a full-blown epic spectacle, with the usual fireworks and fanfare such episode have, and it was good approach - the story was still very impactful, interesting and at many moments VERY creepy. Writers did lot of solid work to put some fresh ideas, and it paid off I think this might be one of the best two parters overall, and that says something. Loved the work on villain, her goal, and the conclusion, how mane 6 had to rely on help of other ponies in the end, and leaving the door open for return of Starlight :)
