I think they simply didn't put Flutter's family in until late in the series because at that point in the show the writers were desperate for any new ideas that they thought might get the viewers excited. Speaking for myself, it didn't work. Flutter Brutter is probably my least favorite episode.

If we're going to be watching The Starlight Glimmer Show My Little Pony into future seasons, it would be nice if they could get back some of Starlight's mischievous edge. She's got such great chemistry with Trixie because they both have some of that. She can still be reformed if that's what must be, but it would be more fun and original to give us the sense that she's still a little naughty under the surface, rather than just apologizing for living and making her into Twilight Jr. all the time (while forgetting the real Twilight exists). There's no point in making her a carbon copy of someone else when she's got the potential to be a cool and original addition to the show.

Celestial Advice seemed pretty generic and uninspired,especially for a season premiere, but certainly not the worst of the series. All Bottled Up was a little better because of Trixie (she's Great and Powerful ya know!) And even though I liked her episode here I was just shaking my head at the fact that the Mane 6 were little more than fan service; just tossed in so nopony could accuse the writers of excluding the starts of the show on the premiere week. I know the Mane 6 have accomplished many goals (Twilight becoming Princess, Rainbow as a Wonderbolt, Rarity's boutique, etc.) but that doesn't mean they have no more stories to tell. It doesn't have to be earth-shattering to be fun and entertaining, or out of the question to focus on them rather than yet another Starlight episode. If it wasn't for the inclusion of Trixie and the Mane 6's add-on sequence (which was typically entertaining because they are the true stars of the show) there would be little to cheer about. I hope things pick up from here.

I watch it on Discovery Family. I usually watch my shows live.

Before coming here, I was on Equestria Forums for three years. I thought it was pretty good at the time, but after coming over here, there's no comparison. MLP Forums is way more active and I can find new threads in abundance almost every day. I briefly tried one or two others, but they didn't impress me as anything all that big; certainly not like it is here. This is the best I've found personally.

Sure I would. And if I make sure my hands are warm and I do a good job, maybe I'll get on the fast track to some royal treatment of my own. Nothing like a little kissing up to the boss to get those perks!
