4april 374 November 27, 2015 Share November 27, 2015 I just watched it with a friend, and we laughed our butts off. It was kinda weird. She went from Lady Gaga to Demi Lovato by the end of the episode. xD Did you like it? Did it change your view? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlitterFlutter 1,583 November 27, 2015 Share November 27, 2015 My one concern is how they plan to top this next season: https://m.youtube.co...h?v=NsYWQ_-zNqUI That video is really epic though! 1 Credit to Kiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritishBrony2012 814 November 27, 2015 Share November 27, 2015 I not worried, show still be good. Show not perfect there be good and bad episodes. Disagree with season 5 being down hill, sure there some episodes that not for me, but season 5 are great. 1 Proud British Brony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammo 986 November 27, 2015 Share November 27, 2015 Also. Every season brings in new talent, most of which do very good work. Actually shows tend to stagnate and get lazy when it's the same people doing the show for years. After a while that creates an assembly line philosophy. Simpsons and Spongebob had this issue. I have MORE hope when people leave and come because from what I've seen, the people they get to work on the show are people who WANT to write for pony. Fans becoming creators essentially. If new writers have passion that's a good sign. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez 106 November 27, 2015 Share November 27, 2015 Don't worry, the writers are very talented. FUS RO DAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partialgeek514 5,011 November 27, 2015 Share November 27, 2015 I'm guessing Season 6 will be better than Season 5! I suppose we'll have to wait for it to actually come to find out though. Also, I don't think AKR leaving the show will affect its quality much if at all. There's plenty of other good writers and I'd personally like to see what new writers could bring to the show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shy0wl 484 November 27, 2015 Share November 27, 2015 I'm more worried about season 6 being the last season of the show than I am of the quality of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eipeiknip15 12 November 27, 2015 Share November 27, 2015 The show will still be good, I think it will continue to improve! Season 5 has been better than the previous seasons so I think season 6 will be better than season 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Bit 1,531 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 AKR was easily my favourite writer on the show but one thing I've noticed about season 5 that makes me really optimistic for season 6 is the talent of some of the new writers who've just came in. "Castle Sweet Castle" was a wonderful episode in my opinion, done by two new writers, and I'm very hopeful to see them continue. "Hearthbreakers" was another one along the same lines as Castle Sweet Castle. I would also say that writers like Josh Haber and Larson have arguably improved the quality of their contributions to the show as well with "Bloom and Gloom" and "Amending Fences" While AKR is a really really sad loss, I have plenty of hope for the newer writers on the show 1 ---< Fanfic Writer, Music Maker, Film Director and Voice Actor >--- Don't expect anything incredible though!

Rainboom Dash 1,056 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 I don't think season 5 has been downhill at all, it's still produced plenty of great episodes. Hoping for a few more new writers in the next season though, as it's nice to keep things fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleverclover 1,526 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 (edited) I really don't know. I just don't. By and large, I have been quite unimpressed by new writers' efforts this season. In particular, I did not think that any of the episodes between Crusaders of the Lost Mark and The Mane Attraction were anything more than average, and some I would even consider less than average. In any case, I do imagine that season 6 will finally be the season where seasonal rot sets in, so we'd probably be screwed either way, even if AKR hadn't left.

Ziltoid the Omniscient 286 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 Im not sure that AKR leaving the show is going to make it as bad as it would seem. There's still other valued writers (more or less) still working on the show. McCarthy, Larson, Polsky, etc. Plus probable 1st time writers for episodes in Season 6. I wish Amy well in her future endeavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jangocoolguy 433 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 (edited) Amy may've been one out best writers, but her leaving doesn't mean FiM's in trouble. We'll just have to see. Que sera sera... Also.

cider float 2,538 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 (edited) I haven't had high hopes for the show since the end of Season 2, after Slice of Life it fell a lot farther I just watch because when I start something I have to finish it. But I guess I can have fun talking about them which sadly is what I have more fun than actually watching them. Don't hold high expectations... maybe they might surprise you, didn't for me but for you who knows.

Varrack 1,080 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 I'm not worried about season 6. So what if one writer is gone? There's plenty of other great writers out there too. I'm sure it'll be a great season, as I believe the quality of the show has been rising the longer it's gone on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoyStar 13 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 I'm gonna really miss AKR since she wrote some of my favorite episodes, but I feel that the show as a whole will still be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky 68 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 (edited) I'm not going to lie. I feel if the show ended after this season or after last season and had Crusaders of the Lost Mark during S4, fans would have been satisfied. I mean going into S6...what else is there left to do unless they plan on introducing new characters? Of course we'll see in the finale what possibilities open up going forward. It seems like they've done everything they can do with the Mane Six and Cutie Mark Crusaders at this point. They're not going to do anything with Spike so we can rule that out. Discord maybe? Guess we'll have to see! Edited November 28, 2015 by Rocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarfaceOne 263 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 (edited) Anyone else worried about the quality of Season 6? I mean, with AKR gone, how will the show be affected? Your not the only one, kid. I'm worried too, this year did not really have an arc unlike last year, and last year's arc was rather poor, but had an awesome climax. I hope Season 6 has a proper arc, if, however, by Season 7. If the Quality get's worse, I may consider leaving the fandom. I don't want it to turn into another Spongebob Squarepants.

cider float 2,538 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 A lot of Season 5 just feels like it's filler and not as good as it used to been. The only real thing that people have cared about for years about and was the only unresolved story was the Cutie Mark Crusaders didn't get their Cutie Marks. That is resolved now, so there really isn't anything that has value to finish now so now they're just trying to stretch this out and add more stuff but the magic is already gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowflame 189 November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 The show has improved over time so there is no reason to be worried. Many people here who are dissapointed are probbaly long time show watchers that are getting tired of the show and that is why the show is is no longer fredh for them but I found the show last year so I am still very excited. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
