Regality 233 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 Okay, so in season 1 we had a two part opening, but the finale was a single episode (The Best Night Ever). In season 2 there was The Return of Harmony two parter for the opening, and the Canterlot Wedding for the finale. This brings up the question, will season 3 follow suit of it's former? Is there less likely a chance to be a two part opening/finale due to there only being 13 episodes? If so, is there less likely to be a two part opening or finale? ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavelColt 22,881 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 Fun Fact: 'Return of Harmony' was originally meant to be the finale for season 1, but got pushed last minute as the opening episodes for season 2. Ergo, being not planned, the general consensus is two-parters for the end of seasons, not the beginning. If anything, season 3's first episode might be of normal length, and the finale will again be a two-parter. But then again, season 3 is going to be an on-going storyline, it appears, all based around the Crystal Kingdom. So they could be doing all sorts of new setups. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Profile 644 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 Idk what to think about 2 parters, and sutch... But Mabe a plot will be introduced... Not a 2 part plot, but Mabe season 3 is an introductory to new things witch will be in the later seasons... Like I remember me being a kid... Watching Dora the explorer... Girl just goes to one place from another... Well I watched an episode of one of the newer ones with my cousin a moment ago who is like 4 years... There were freeking star things that weren't there when I watched it as a kid... Idk some of you might know what I mean... Others... Look it up... But you get what I'm saying right? They might be adding a plot or a new thing for the rest of the show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapien 26 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 I'm not entirely sure it will be two parts - it seems that the finale is more likely to be two parts than the opening at this point, particularly due to the fact that we are only getting 15 Season 3 episodes or whatever.

cuteycindyhoney 13,307 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 I'm just excited that the whole thirteen episode season might be one interconnected story arc! That's what I was hoping for after the first two episodes of season one. Somepony tell me if this poster is legit! I love Twilight's new mane-du! 2 Thank you Sparklefan1234!!!

Regality 233 September 7, 2012 Author Share September 7, 2012 Somepony tell me if this poster is legit! I love Twilight's new mane-du! Well it certainly seems interesting. It looks pretty real, and I really like how their manes are styled (even if it is a faked image). ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow Dash Loyalty 1,275 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 I was sort of hoping that since there was 13 episodes, the episodes would be around 40-60 minutes long >.< I'm thinking that instead of different episodes, every episode is a lead-up from previous episodes. So my theory is that it's basically going to be a 13 part episode. 1 ~Signature created by Chaotic Discord~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarietty 632 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 ^...or season 4 is just going to come very soon after season 3 episode 13. Shows for little girls typically don't have long story arcs like that unless it's like anime or something, and episodes that long would be inconvenient, to both make and air. I get both the season finale and opener being Crystal Empire related, but nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvadel 1,393 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 Well I have a theory on this one also -- Adventures in the crystal kingdom is a 120 minute long DVD. My guess is that means that the first FIVE episodes will be in the crystal kingdom (essentially a 5 episode arc) and then it will swing elsewhere. Silvadel, the Pegasus of Insight.

grimchi3f 19 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 Season 3 is said to be one interconnected story arc so my guess is that the episodes will lead into each other. I like that though I want both the opening and finale to be two-parters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaZe Vinyl 521 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 (edited) My personal opinion on this is that it will follow the 1-2 plan of a regularly sized opening and then a two part finale. That seems to be the idea based off of @@~Chaotic Discord~'s findings. Edited September 7, 2012 by Luna For President Avatar by Zhortac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonyHag1 591 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 I like AJ's old mane style better, as well as her hat. I hope the whole new season isn't all in the Crystal Empire. I'd like to see episodes set in Ponyville and elsewhere. 1 "Mr. The Dragon!" - Ms. Harshwhinny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winona the Dog 1,984 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 Im thinking the whole season 3 will be of one whole big plot. Maybe they wanted to make the plot way darker (remembering pictures of decimated ponyville) who knows your guess is as good as mine. The Crystal Kingdom Saga would be an excellent name for it though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good idea, but I don't think they are going to make a 5 parter episode. For all we know it well be a 2 parter and the other episodes well be just random episodes, from season 1 and 2, just like the other dads.

rainbow_hearts 148 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 Well, I was thinking for a little while. I was thinking about the broken down ponyville and how that is probably going to be finale. I think the Crystal empire is going to come first then some unnamed for the finale. Or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonBrony 1,468 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 (edited) I think have figured out the finale. The Crystal Empire DVD is coming out december. And when does that 13th episode of season 2 come out? Well actually January but that was because some weeks they didn't show an episode. So my Guess is the finale will be December. And with This DVD coming out then. I think it might be safe to say, the finale has good chance of being the crystal empire episodes. Or the whole season could be about the Crystal Empire. And season 4 coming out soon after perhaps. But with this DVD. I think the seaosn is probably gonna end in December. Which is sadening but Season 4 will probably come out earlier. (Or maybe theres a Movie? or some kind of special) Though i could be wrong. And Maybe only the first two are crytal empire ones. But the DVD come sout december. Why would the DVD come out so late? (Holidays?) If the first two are the crystal empire episodes then my guess is the season starts a little late. As in not september. Or perhaps the crystal empire episodes arn't even a finale or an opening. But thats very unlikely. Edited September 7, 2012 by AnonBrony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkiefan1287 610 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 Hard to say, seeing as it's only 13 episodes this season. Most likely the first 2 episodes well be a part 1, part 2 episode. Then they well take a week or two off and then show more in the middle of October and November. Take another break in December and finish in January or February. That when I think it well finish, but I maybe wrong. As for ending on a part 1 and part 2 episode. I would like to see that, but I don't know if they well do that this season.

Dusty Soul 2,611 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 The opening and closing will both be single episodes... Season 3 will be a story arc, that will be just awesome!

eggnut 7 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 The Crystal Ponies Saga (Part 1 and Part 2) and The Return of Discord (Part 1 and Part 2). If there was 2 two-parters to fill season three, then 8 regular episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morethanicecream 116 September 7, 2012 Share September 7, 2012 I hope they do 2 parts. I think it is great but we only have 13 episodes per season. So, I dont want that to happen where we only have 11 episodes afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways that's my view on the whole thing. Season 3 as a single story arc would be a pretty awesome idea! The only problem with that is, the show is still a children's cartoon, and one of the advantages a cartoon often has is the ability for a child to pick it up from any episode at any time without really having to know anything else about the show - thus blocking off the potential of a story arc longer than, say, two to three episodes, UNLESS they do something like what the show Gravity Falls has been doing (constantly feed tidbits of prior information to new viewers via explanations of past events).

Homura Akemi 974 September 9, 2012 Share September 9, 2012 I think there would be no more than one 2-part special. It was really neat with now in the wedding we scored two episodes in 1 day. I'm also looking forward to see if the theme song has been remastered again. Maybe or maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
