I was thinking now would be a good time to rank the episodes. The last one's hopefully top tier, so it shouldn't be hard to add in.
I'll give it a go too.
1. #14 - Suited for Success (excellent premise, execution and song; Rarity's big break as a character)
2. #10 - Swarm of the Century (great nod to pop culture, Pinkie's plan and Twilight's breakdown)
3. #7 - Dragonshy (classic adventure, starring all the cast but with spotlight on Fluttershy)
4. #2 - Friendship is Magic, Part 2 (Sailor Moon style climax, Luna!)
5. #1 - Friendship is Magic, Part 1 (Great introduction for all the characters)
6. #25 - Party of One (Pinkie's time to shine)
7. #9 - Bridle Gossip (excellent humor, Flutterguy, Apple Bloom, Zecora)
8. #19 - A Dog and Pony Show (more Rarity goodness, spotlight on Spike, THIS IS WHINIIIING)
9. #11 - Winter Wrap Up (fabulous song)
10. #22 - A Bird in the Hoof (hilarious phoenix antics, Fluttershy's almost-breakdown)
11. #6 - Boast Busters (Great and Powerful Trixie, Twilight's first show of power)
12. #16 - Sonic Rainboom (almost made Rainbow Dash likeable, Sonic Rainboom)
13. #23 - The Cutie Mark Chronicles (backstory for all characters, Pinkamena Diane Pie, Dark Twilight)
14. #20 - Green Isn't Your Color (fashion hijinks, Photo Finish, great empathy between Fluttershy and Rarity)
15. #17 - Stare Master (spotlight on Fluttershy, CMC's less aggravating appearance)
16. #4 - Applebuck Season (sleep-deprived Applejack is priceless)
17. #13 - Fall Weather Friends (the episode that started a thousand flames, great action)
18. #24 - Owl's Well That Ends Well (Spike development)
19. #8 - Look Before You Sleep (great character interaction, Twilight's addiction to rules)
20. #15 - Feeling Pinkie Keen (Great humor, poor conclusion)
21. #3 - The Ticket Master (nothing really remarkable except the Benny Hill chase)
22. #5 - Griffon the Brush Off (Pinkie saves this episode from doom, Gilda is irredeemable)
23. #18 - The Show Stoppers (kind of boring start, but hilarious final musical act)
24. #12 - Call of the Cutie (bleh)
25. #21 - Over a Barrel (only good part is the conversation in the train. Braeburn is fun, but the episode falls apart at the end)
Yeah, I know it's an odd choice for first place, but that's an episode with a surprisingly mature message, an excellent song and perfect execution.

I wake up to this. What is going on? No wait. I know
Very flattered.
I was surprised no one did a Gaf Pony. I was staring at the cutie mark right there! Her colors are all based on the forum colors. I drew her because I thought you guys might get a kick out of her.
Thank you Pony GAF for a very amusing thread and seeing so much awesome talent all around.
P.S. I was very amused by the reactions to the human Jack/Dash pic. I told myself I will not do versions of the others because I felt same way. It's like I betrayed them. Humanize ponies! Noooo!
Thank you very much for dropping by, and once again, thank you for your incredible contributions to the fandom, and for giving us your permission to use Belle Eve for our incoming season 2 initiative.
