I really don’t get the point of always asking this the day we get a new one.  
I don’t think anyone can fairly rank them as soon as a new one comes out as one’s immediate thought of it may not hold up after some time thinking about the episode, so one they might not enjoy a lot at first might move up in their opinion after they had time to think it over.

I think the idea is that to all those people hanging around them, the journal is just a passing fad and they’ll soon move on. The journal will only stick with people who got something worthwhile from it.

Though this was because of the Royal Sisters suddenly disappearing without explanation, and the rising contention because of how the sun and moon seemed to continue rising/falling without them. The situation is a fair bit different than what your post might suggestion, as it wasn’t directly because of the Mane Six but in how they viewed how things were happening around them.

The whole episode was pretty much the ultimate collection of lampshades, headcanons and common points of conflict in the show. Sort of a more serious version of Slice of Life, which nailed the coffins of headcanons, this one did the same for more technical aspects like the comic’s…. troublesome relationship with show canon and typical shitstorm-inducing material. Too bad many are still gonna get a “H8ERS GON H8 LOLOLO GIT DUNKED ON TEARS SO SALTY” lesson out of it, but hey, it’s not like their minds can be changed at this point.
 
I’m glad this episode was done, I mean, many series have this episode where past deeds are brought up in order to reflect on how things changed, and while it did get a tad self-indulgent at times, it’s kind of the point to go with the theme. And hey, Starlight was in the episode and I was still able to watch it, so that’s proof it got more right than wrong in my book. Or maybe that was also the point, to show that it’s possible to feature her without fucking up the plot as a result. One can hope, one can hope.

This episode is also the most defensive Star has ever been towards the mane cast. I still think she isn’t as generally close to them as she is with her own circle, but she clearly seems to have a great respect for them. Manhandlign a pony who was badmouthing fluttershy and seemingly going off to murder two characters.

If DD retires it makes me wonder what they’ll do with her villains. It would be funny if the episode has them begging her to stay active.

One of my friends mentioned that one of the daring do books has her becoming the guardian of ancient temple people or something?
 
Or is that EQG related?

I think DD could just be retiring her A.K Yearling alter ego and stops writing books while still continuing her work collecting artifacts and fighting villains.

I’m glad that Larson distanced himself from this episode, because this episode was mean spirited af to all fans who don’t eat up everything they get. I could bet Jim Miller was the driving force.
 
No longer wanting any of your autographs, writers, voice actors and editors. I hope you’re happy now. :)
