Upcoming "Oswalt x Salenger" episode

Why must you think the Mane 6 have to appear in every episode. They may be the Mane Cast, but much like the real world, there are countless other people who all have their own interesting lives to live and share. It's important to give these other characters a chance to shine.

The show doesn't nor shouldn't revolve around Twilight and Co. all the time.

But in this Oswalt and Salenger episode, these are characters we've NEVER seen before -- at all! I don't want to see just them.

Isn't that kind of an irrational concern considering both the show's treatment of previous guest stars ("Pinkie Pride" wasn't simply a 22-minute Weird Al worship festival, it was a Pinkie Pie narrative which integrated Weird Al in pony guise into its plot whilst giving him a genuine character to gel with the plot) and the nature of the show itself - why would the episode feature only the two guest star ponies? The only time the show has abruptly and randomly veered away from its main cast as a means of creating/carrying an episode's conflict was "Slice of Life" and that was intended as a comedic milestone gagfest, whilst this episode appears to be nothing of that nature.

All messages from this thread should now move to "E06: Common Ground", since that's the title of the episode.
