I stopped watching the show regularly midway through season 6, as there were some episodes that felt either dull or unappealing to me. I feared that any new season that came afterwards would be complete crap, so I was hesitant to watch any more episodes aside from a handful that I thought would be okay. It wasn't until some years later that I felt confident enough to watch the remaining episodes of the series. I've watched season 8 in its entirety and while there were a couple bad episodes in that season ("Yakity-Sax" and "The End in Friend"), I didn't think it was a terrible season by any means. I plan on finishing the rest of the series soon.

I think I saw the commercials for the G3 toys when I watched Cartoon Network during my childhood. As for my first exposure to G4, the earliest I can recall was when I started seeing MLP profile pics on the internet communities I visited in late-2011.

I don't know. If Starlight had a twin in the human world, then we never got to see her. My guess is Starlight's human twin lived in a completely different town, like Sunset's human twin (who was confirmed to exist according to a document for an unreleased special, posted by Nick Confalone on Twitter.) It definitely would've been nice if Pony Starlight came over to the human world one more time, it's a shame that she only showed up once.

Agreed. In my opinion, Hasbro has already made enough bad decisions with the MLP franchise to the point where I strongly believe that our best hope for it recovering would be for Hasbro to sell the franchise to someone who's known for their work on it, like Lauren Faust for example. I somehow doubt they'll resort to that, but at this point, it's likely to be our only hope.

I wouldn't trust MLP with Warner Bros. any more than I'd trust Disney. As far as I can tell, they're fixated with keeping MLP:FIM on their ill-fated Discovery Family channel for as long as humanly possible given that they renewed the broadcast rights for it to last until December 31st and who's to say they won't renew them again. Plus, they're doing a terrible job at keeping the MLP G4 cartoons available on streaming services. Netflix only has seasons 1-4, Tubi is missing seasons 1-2 + a handful of episodes, and Pony Life is nowhere to be found on legal streaming services. Not to mention that Sony was very close to yanking Discovery content off of PlayStation owner's digital video libraries, which proves that digital distribution is not an option either - both FIM in its entirety and Pony Life can be bought digitally as of this writing, but who's to say they won't remove them from the libraries of the people who bought them. Given that I'd really like the series to be released on Blu-ray, I think Hasbro should partner with a company who prioritizes both streaming and physical media, like Shout Factory. It would solve both problems if they took that route.
