Maybe S4 will bring us all back together.
I for one enjoyed EQG, and it doesn't deserve as much hate as it gets.
Tbh though I don't want people to have super high amazing expectations for S4. It's still a kid show, ad they have to do with what they have. I think the main reason S2 was so good, is because that's when people started to join the fandom, ad started with S2 thinking it would be shit, but turned out to be decent, and blew the whole show out of scale.
S3 was good also tbh, and again it doesn't deserve the hate it gets. Alicorn twilight was a WOAH WTF kind of thing, but I'm sure they had this whole season be a setup to S4, as in order for S4 to have a plot, this had to happen.
All I can say at this moment is trust the writers. They haven't let me down yet, and they probably won't in the near future.
