Could there have been episodes that were taken out of order?

This is something I kinda brought up in another topic I posted called, Could Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake been in more episode? After reading some of the comments people left and looking back at some of the episodes, I believe during season 2 certain episodes were moved ahead and some were moved back. Now I am not sure if this has been talked about before or if it's true. So I well try and explain it.

 

The flow of the episodes just did not feel right when it came to episodes with Pinkie Pie or the Cakes. Some episode looked like the Cakes were still enjoying the life with no kids. They were in still entering contest and enjoying town events. They weren't acting like parents and by the end of the season it would show that the Twins were waring them down and they were having hard times.. This is how the episodes looked to me.

 

Now episode 13 was the episode "Baby Cakes" where Mr. and Mrs. Cake had 2 new foals, Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake. Now with these 2 charters it would be implied that they would show up most the time with Pinkie Pie, like how the CMC show up with their sisters or role models. But after that episode we see less and less of the twin's and the one thing the show is good at is keeping continuity. Now during the episode "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" which is two episodes after "Baby Cakes." We can see Mr. and Mrs. Cake, standing in the line and jugging by there position they camped out with Pinkie Pie. Now if they are here, who is watching Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake? The way the line looked, it almost looks like the whole town is there and the camping out thing was a last minute thing Pinkie Pie came up with. So did The Cakes find someone to stay at there house all night and take care of the twins during the day tell they got back? Now it could be that they just used there charters and weren't thinking about it, but as time moved on in the show we can see a few more errors.

 

The next time the Twins would show up would be in the episode, "A Friend in Deed" showing that they would be in episodes with Pinkie Pie, but like other times we would see a lot of Mr. and Mrs. Cakes, but there would be no sign that they have kids yet, that they are still living the life with no babies. The last time they would show up would be in Ponyville Confidential, and it would show that Mr. and Mrs. Cake are still getting use to them, even thou mouths have already past, so you think they would be used to them by this point. This would not be the last Pinkie Pie episode. The last Pinkie Pie episode would be, "MMMystery on the Friendship Express" where yet again Mr. and Mrs. Cake leave there home and don't take the twins. Now of course they are nerves about the cake, but don't you think your babes would be more important to you then some stupid cake. Now Pound and Pumpkin could be taking a nap and other times it could be that way, but I have some ideas.

 

Now why would they do this? One word, leak. As we all know MLP has had many leaks in the past like episode being released to soon, new charters, and there big one was when the song smile smile smile got out on the net. Now they never talk about leaks, so most likely they moved the episodes up and did not mention it.

 

So this is what I think MMMystery should have been episode 13, episode 18 should have been Baby Cakes, and episode 24 should have been A Friend in Deed.

 

Now for all I know I am way off on this or I could be wright. What do you all think?

I don't think that the show's creators meant for it to be so deeply observed. most likely, the Cakes were never even acknowledged the fact that they were having kids until that episode. Alot of cartons are like that.

Hmm... kinda got a point there, and I think your right. But if it is out of order, it doesn't really matter. The time difference can't be too far off...

That could be and I might just be over think this, but the one good think about this show is it's great continuity. So I just don't think they would make that big of a blunder.

True, if I am right about the order, then the twins would only be 3 months old.

I think I would go with this, although the show shows some continuity, they don't go back to it all the time and in general each episode is ment to be a solo episode not really related to any others (except for the gala arc ect) .

 

I mean, look at RD and her pet, where is he the entire rest of the season?

That donkey finally got reunited with his wife or something. What happens a few episodes later? We see him in a jungle!

 

Damn, some serious determination there, running off that soon!

I think thats a different donkey and not the same one from the episode. Not to mention I don't think he would run off to a jungle.

I don't remember where or when I heard it, but apparently S1 was not in a chronological timeline, and we can assume S2 is the same. I don't like to think of it that way but hey, whatever.

I suppose you're right, but still, I just had to throw that out. Personally, I actually like the idea of seeing this at-first minor character, and then a few episodes later be the focus point of the episode.

Er... I don't get it?

Well I thought it was kinda similar because she also goes and spends loads of time on that and then goes to canter lot without him

 

(tho I guess if he's in the jungle she wouldn't of had anything else to do)

i say, it takes quite a mind to notice all these things, and i applaud you for that. but as always in shows, like said in the first post, it might not have been intended to be so carefully thought out. also though, it may have been just a careless mistake by the editors (ive noticed countless editing mistakes throughout the seasons, so it doesnt suprise me. however, there are editing mistakes in every show)
