A spin-off where the ponies take on human form? Please no! Who thought that would be a good idea?
Wait, wait, wait let me get this
- My Little Pony
- Littlest Pet Shop (I have my reasons why I put that there but not bothering)
and now this one that's MLP human form... well FUCK that. I will see the first episode and judge on that at a later time.

I was expecting this to be a pun, akin to "Too Many Pinkie Pies was like watching paint dry". But it wasn't.
I don't see how this is jumping the shark (because that's when a series as a whole takes a prolonged, if not even permanent, dive to mediocrity, and that cannot be assessed before many more episodes have been made. You can't say "the series jumped the shark with this episode" when the episode in question is the newest one and there aren't any more of them made yet.)
I, however, did not like the episode at all. It made no sense, had too much singing (yes, I know it was meant to be that kind of musical episode, but I still didn't like it), there was no actual plot or aesop, and I didn't really like Twilight's new design.
Bonus points for breaking status quo, though.

My reaction to what happened in this episode (the major part), is what Pinkie did with the glass of water.
SINGING FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE SHOW WAS... good I guess (gets to end of the show) OH SHIT MORE SINGING!

I've noticed something. Each season of MLP has had 1 shitstorm each. S1 before it started (OMG MLP is for girls), S2 had it in the middle (Derpy!) and S3 had it at the end, or rather leading up to what happened at the end. What will happen in S4?
(If you didn't hear, the show was renewed for another 26 episodes, there will be a 4th season
Like I said on m2k2: literally nothing in that episode made any fucking sort of sense or anything that even remotely resembled sense at all.
That felt like them trying to make some sort of majestic season finale and failing horribly.
My reaction at the very start of the episode was "What the actual fuck".
My reaction after the episode was over was "What the actual fuck".
I did kind of have the alicornization spoiled to me. I wasn't really sure if I actually believed it, and even after watching the episode, I'm still not sure if I actually believe it.
In general, this was a weak season. There were four episodes I liked a lot, the rest ranged from "slightly above average" to "meh".
Edit: I'm a sad sad person so here's 2300 words about how that episode wasn't actually able to happen

I am also completely puzzled what exactly they were after with this episode. The idea was... random and weird, and made no sense whatsoever, and there were too many questions left unanswered (such as, for example, why did nobody else in Ponyville seem to wonder what was going on and why those few ponies suddenly changed so much and get a completely new cutie mark... Did changing the cutie marks actually retroactively rewrite the entire history? But if that were so, why did they act like they had been doing their "talents" just for a day, rather than all their lives? Yet had no memory whatsoever that they used to be different... Argh, it makes absolutely no sense.)
It was like just a weird dream. Or nightmare. It would actually have made more sense if all this was just Discord going evil again and messing up Poniville as some kind of revenge (or simply to be chaotic evil.) Being basically the god of chaos, the weird effects and attitudes of the villagers would be fully explainable. In fact, that would have made a much better plot.
I have to say, from all of FiM episodes ever, this is the only one that I didn't like at all. It shouldn't exist. (Perhaps I'll just pretend that it doesn't exist.)

I liked the season just fine (with the exception of this episode, of course.)
Edit: Btw, I don't very often have the patience nor interest to read really lengthy walls of text, but your analysis was so interesting that I read the entirety of it. It was quite nicely thought through.
We may predict that Season 4 is going to be the last.
Why do I imagine the people behind MlP holding a wad of cash saying "never" when I see this comment?
Oh right. Because thishappened before with a game I played. :P
Given that, according to rumors, this is actually intended to be the first of a three-parter, I might have to retract that, depending on what they do.
Curiously, in this particular case I wouldn't actually mind that at all. On the contrary, I would welcome it.

It's not "according to rumors". The writer of the episode said it on her Twitter that she intended it to be a 3 part episode and the other two parts will come later. Link to Tweet
As for my thoughts on the episode, it was a bit rushed to reach the conclusion. The musical numbers were nicely done. Silly, but nicely done. This episode though is definitely a major point in the show. It's either going to make or break the series. It's one of those things you just can't go back to status quo on. So either Season 4 is going to be absolutely fantastic, or it's going to be completely awful. I hope for the former, because I've enjoyed the show, even if S3 was a bit mediocre at times. But then again, S2 was very hard to top, especially between the first two and last two episodes.
Somehow, I have got a thing for smiling ponies with sunglasses. COULD YOU TELL??
