Hyped About Season 5? Don't Be
Surely most if not all of us can agree that Season 4 was quite a season, wasn't it? How it started off with this Tree of Harmony, how it continued with the intrigue of the 5 keys and ended with the sixth alongside Discord's full reformation and Tirek's battle. Let's face it, that's going to be difficult to top, isn't it? Oh and please do note that I haven't been keeping up with any news about season 5 other than it could premier anywhere between late 2014 to early 2015.
What we don't want to do is get the expectation that each season is going to be bigger and better than the last. This can't happen especially if the show is going to have a higher number of seasons. Seriously, what do you think it's going to take to top season 4? What do you think it's going to take to top what topped season 4? And so on. This could be done if the wait between S4 and S5 is very long to give the studio enough time to work on it excluding any other projects they may also be working on simultaneously and also if the show is going to close the next season or the one after.
It might be a better idea for the show if season 5 were to take it slower. Something more calmly paced and easy-going like season 1. Relatively speaking to season 4 that is. For one, this would give the writers more time and allocate more of their creative resources to season 6.
So remember, if season 5 doesn't end up living up to its predecessor, this isn't to be seen as a bad thing. The pacing has to fluctuate to bring ourselves down so that we could be wowed for what is to follow. In retrospect, this is kinda what just happened when you put S3 and S4 next to one another.
This video should give better clarification to what I'm getting at.
