    Some would argue this show is nothing but product placement, what with the whole thing being based off a children's toyline and all. Only if Donut Joe is involved somehow.

    Season 5 is my second-favorite season after Season 2. In fact, it would've been my favorite season if it hadn't been for the shoddy ending of The Cutie Re-Mark (there's a reason my avatar is of evil Starlight Glimmer and not her after she's been reformed). I think that while Season 6 pales in comparison to Season 5, there are also a number of Season 6 episodes which I enjoy and think are legitimately good.

    I would love to see them return. The show just hasn't been the same without them.

    I wouldn't mind a new villain, but I'd much rather see the writers bring back a G1 villain like Grogar or have Tirek and/or Sombra return. I don't think the writers are going to reform any more villains, otherwise Chrysalis would've been reformed at the end of the Season 6 finale.

    Funny story. A while back I was planning on writing an AU where instead of being a full-grown mare, Starlight Glimmer was a foal prodigy. The way I envisioned it, Filly Starlight would've been a cross between Anthony Fremont from The Twilight Zone and Baby Doll from Batman: The Animated Series. She'd have been an emotionally disturbed filly with godlike powers who terrorized the village she lived in and forced ponies to do her bidding or taste her wrath.

    I happen to be a huge fan of Batman: The Killing Joke and I was wondering if someone could edit this gif of Starlight Glimmer so she's holding a camera with her magic, ala. the Joker. Any help would be much appreciated!

    Any particular examples you wish to share? This is why I think definitively diagnosing Starlight Glimmer with any sort of personality disorder or psychological illness is difficult, if not impossible. It's also one of the reasons I think Discord's reformation was handled better than Starlight's: sometimes it feels as though post-reformation Starlight and pre-reformation Starlight are entirely different characters, whereas Discord's post-reformation character seems consistent with pre-reformation Discord.

    If I were diagnosing Starlight Glimmer based off her behavior in The Cutie Map alone, I'd lean more towards Narcissistic Personality Disorder than Bipolar Disorder. According to the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, individuals with NPD exhibit most or all of the following symptoms: Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment from others Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc. Self-perception of being unique, superior and associated with high-status people and institutions Needing constant admiration from others Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain Unwilling to empathize with others' feelings, wishes, or needs Intensely envious of others and the belief that others are equally envious of them Pompous and arrogant demeanor Starlight also exhibited a number of these symptoms in The Cutie Re-Mark, but I think definitively diagnosing Starlight Glimmer with any sort of psychological illness or personality disorder is a fools errand in light of the substantial differences in personality between pre-reformation and post-reformation Starlight Glimmer.

    I imagine Flurry Heart as having her mother's heart, her father's courage and her aunt's brains. Flurry Heart is naturally curious, but unlike her aunt, she has a "hooves on" approach to learning. She cares deeply about other ponies - even ponies she doesn't know - and leaps to their aid the first chance she gets. Flurry is headstrong and stubborn with a tendency to bite off more than she can chew, but her heart is always in the right place.

    I think I know who the villain of the Season 7 premiere is going to be.

    This got existential really fast.
  12. Aurora Glimmer
    That's what they kind of did, though: Discord went from being the MLP equivalent of the Joker or Kefka to the MLP equivalent of Q or Mr. Mxyzptlk.
  13. Aurora Glimmer
    And Starlight went from pony Pol Pot to the Mane Six's new best friend in ten minutes. What's your point?
  14. Aurora Glimmer
    I'm torn. On the one hand, Discord was an excellent villain and it seemed an odd choice to reform a character as malevolent as Discord was; on the other hand, I think Discord's redemption was handled well (as it took three seasons for Discord to gain the trust of the Mane Six) and I've enjoyed most of the episodes he's starred in.
  15. Aurora Glimmer
    I think "Flurry Heart: Warrior Princess" has a nice ring to it, don't you?
  16. Aurora Glimmer
    That's what makes me think there was originally more to Starlight's backstory that got cut out due to time constraints. If the show continues exploring Starlight's character in Season 7, I think one of the things the writers should do is expand upon Starlight's backstory a bit.
  17. Aurora Glimmer
    I think the show should try exploring/expanding upon Starlight Glimmer's backstory. I think her backstory (or lack thereof) is one of the things that's holding her back as a character and having an episode that explores how Starlight Glimmer became the pony she was would strengthen her as a character.
  18. Aurora Glimmer
    IMHO, they should've either left Starlight's backstory a mystery or saved it for a future episode. The backstory we got was either very rushed or had been trimmed down for the sake of time.

    I've always figured ponies either used outhouses or squat toilets, since the most comfortable way for them to do their business would be standing up. If you really must know, horses don't need to wipe: they possess self-cleaning anuses. I assume the same would be true of ponies in Equestria.

    Thunderlane is pretty handsome. He's such a bad boy with that mohawk of his.
  21. Aurora Glimmer
    I'm excited that G.M. Berrow is returning, especially in light of her recent chapter books. I think the Fox Brothers can write good episodes, although they certainly have black marks on their record. To be fair, Applejack's Day Off wasn't entirely the Fox Brother's fault. I believe Dusedau was at least partially responsible.
  22. Aurora Glimmer
    I honestly have no idea. Part of me thinks they're going to end the series with the movie, while another part of me thinks that if the movie is successful, the show will continue in some way, shape or form. This could mean more seasons of FiM or perhaps a spin-off series like Guardians of Harmony. For those saying they want the show to end because the quality of the show isn't what it used to be, I think the quality of the show will improve after the movie, since writers like Meghan McCarthy and Mike Vogel will be able to return to FiM.
  23. Aurora Glimmer
    I'm sure Starlight Glimmer boinked Double Diamond at some point, since they seemed to have a thing for each other.
  24. Aurora Glimmer
    Off the top of my head, I think both One Bad Apple and The Cutie Re-Mark could've done with a re-write. One Bad Apple had a muddled message and a "protagonist" who was forgiven with a slap on the wrist, despite turning on her own cousin and her friends in a selfish effort to save her own hide. As for The Cutie Re-Mark, I thought Starlight's backstory was terrible and I found the ending extremely disappointing. I'd have preferred it if Starlight had either remained a villain or if they'd handled her redemption more gradually instead of trying to accomplish it through a musical montage. As for her backstory, I'd have left it a mystery or saved it for a future episode instead of trying to cram it into the finale.

    I think if there are cars in Equestria, they're only found in cities like Manehattan and not in places like Ponyville. I mean, Ponyville only has dirt roads, which are fine for equines, but aren't exactly conducive to automobiles.
