If you thought SpikeXRarity was bad, this is going to be incredible Just think of the children! No seriously, think of how Discord and Fluttershy's children would look. It would be a disaster, but Discord would be one proud papa.

First I'm even hearing about the quote thing myself, not surprising since I basically might as well not have a Twitter account for how little I use the thing. Granted, quote didn't really bother me either way. It was cheesy and kind of stupid, but I didn't have much of a problem with it. The face turn's what bugs me, specifically in how completely out of nowhere it was. Yeah, there were worse things about this episode than that one line.

I asked this on Twitter, but I'll ask here too... anyone else feeling like the show has peaked? I'm not saying that it's crap now, because for the most part it's still good... I just feel like the best days of the show are behind us, not ahead of us.
Was losing the Faust influence really that crucial to the direction of the show, after all?

It can be a little hard telling whether it's a big step downward or if it's just a bit of a funk sometimes, plus the show still tends to have at least something (for instance, the BtAS references in Mare-Do-Well, or the song in One Bad Apple) good even when it's bad. But then again, while most episodes this season are okay, the only one that I really love is Magic Duel. And then if you bring the end of the last season into it the last few episodes there, besides the finale, were pretty bad too.

So far I think Season 3's been really good, and it's not like the other seasons didn't have their fair share of comparative stinkers.
I do think it's lost something without Faust's influence, though. The episodes don't have the same... charm, for lack of a better word.

AKA Yes, it has peaked for me.

To be honest I'm still enjoying it. I can forgive the odd "Meh" episode from time to time. But for me the good is still out weighing the bad

Even if quality has dropped without Faust, at least it didn't drop as hard as Spongebob did when they lost Hillenburg

Though at least that picked up again once that episode was over. Yeah, nothing to do with anything, I just f***ing hate that episode, and the fact that it was intended to be the series finale blows my mind.

If it's peaked, it's making for a pretty entertaining downward spiral.
I liked the story overall, but this really needed two episodes for everything to sink in. And going forward I'd prefer Discord to still be mostly a douche, except when it comes to Fluttershy.

It occurs to me that next week is the Spike, animals, and possibly CMC episode. Yeeeeah, is there any chance that's going to be good?

I contend that what it's lost is the virtue of time.
There are HALF the episodes this season as the two previous. The third season of most long-running shows is usually the beginning of "The Good Run", after a feeling out and characters are established. Generally you can expect a more multi-part episodes.
I truly believe that many of these episodes were conceived as multi-part eps. They were pitched and possibly written as early as 2011, deal with some fairly weighty stuff (redemption).
However....the severe cutdown of episodes necessitated that they be severely condensed. I don't think anyone HATES the "bad" episodes of Season 3, just that the pacing needed to be re-evaluated.
