So we're just supposed to ignore the other 5 then? What's the point of the friendship of we are supposed to care about 1 person/pony? I didn't say that. I'm just saying Twi was supposed to be the MAIN character from the start. I understand that, but after Season 2, it became more of an ensemble cast show. Twilight didn't even show up or speak in some. Becoming an alicorn would just not only shift all focus onto her, but leave out the other 5 because in my mind, if I was a kid, I would be like "Why aren't we seeing Twilight do cool shit, who are these boring ponies? I WANT TWILIGHT!!". It's a sacrifice of a mostly well written ensemble cast for nothing really.

For those that read the comics, and know about the plot for issue 6, I have a question. {Spoiler}Who do you think is the new Nightmare Moon? Someone close to the mane 6. Could be Twilight, Rarity, but I think since Luna was the younger sister, I think they are going to keep it with the younger one theme and I think it is going to be Sweetie Belle.

Though we already saw what Candance would be like as a villain in "A Cantelot Wedding". Nightmare Moon would be having Chryslais left overs.

Good to see that the storm went over and to see respectful discussion here. Because believe me, if something was still going on, I would have probably spoken my piece here.

Huh....You do a silly little thing like SLEEP and you miss so much.
My opinion of Season 3 so far?
If I had started watching MLP this (or possibly even just last) season....
I wouldn't be a fan.
Seasons 1 and 2 set the bar VERY high for a "Children's" show. Season 3...It's not hitting on all cylinders. There are bright spots to be sure.....but when it's bad.....it is BAD.
The issue is even the "worst" stuff this season has been the issue of pacing. These "Redemption" style stories really needed to be 2 or 3 parters to have better impact. I blame the quick pacing, as I have NUMEROUS times before, on the halved season. Both the creators are used to double the time to tell the story and fans double the time to digest it. Having to convey the same amount of information in half the time.....the writers haven't adapted to the constraints.
I believe that the Discord Redemption story was initially pitched as a Multi-Episode arc. It just.....it just doesn't flow in one episode. I'm going to level with you...while watching the episode, I checked the clock....and saw that it was 10:48 AM .....approximately 12 minutes until the top of the hour, with ANOTHER commercial break to go.
I knew before it happened that the ending would be rushed. I was PISSED during the episode. "Maybe", I Thought, "They're going to swerve me, and the moral is that some people you CAN'T Change". But they did what they did....and went with the rushed ending.
Do I like it? No.....not really. Am I going to stop watching? Likely not, as I kinda want to see where it goes.
In the end....I like the end result of "Keep Calm and Flutter On", just think they REALLY dropped the ball on getting there.
