Rainbow Double Dash here.
I was feeling kind of depressed. I figured I'd check out the TV Tropes page to see if there was anything I could add to it.
Anyway, the point is - thanks. I needed this.

The Return Of Tambelon: A fantastic season opener.
I'll do my best to avoid major spoilers. The Return of Tambelon is a great way to begin Season 2, reinventing the classic MLP villain Grogar and his story. RDD's engaging, vivid writing style holds strong, as do the presentations of the characters—-the L6 and Luna herself are flawed but fundamentally good ponies, Corona is more than just a cackling paper cutout of a villain, and Grogar is wonderfully chilling.
There are also some more minor points that still add their own nice touch. The presentation of Tambelon's culture, the fact that Grogar's incantations are in at least fairly decent Latin (saying this as a Classics major), and some of the little touches in the character interactions (especially between Luna and Corona). It's clear what this story sets out to do, and it does it well, in my opinion.
