That's what I thought, although I thought the whole part about the memories and experiences Twilight has made was pretty sweet. It's not the things that you gather around It's not how much you own The things that hold the meaning in your life Are the memories you've sown I'm a bit sad the "deku tree" approach wasn't taken, i.e. https://derpibooru.org/740903?scope=scpeac292e4a63e1c486a6c5595a756b0faf18108b9e https://derpibooru.org/630208?scope=scpeaa3274c367cc4f9fb14f47c092a29868c4562ac2 isn't going to happen. Also, what happened to Owlowiscious ? It seems implied he flew away for good.

It has only been 4 episodes (including the season finale). Be patient...

He exists only if the plot demands it. Otherwise he's just conveniently "somewhere" out of sight.

He's an owl, he probably sleeps during the day. Night episodes aren't really a thing in this show. Is the new season not on iTunes yet, or am I just not seeing it? I don't get whatever channel Pony is on anymore, and I don't like watching them off of YouTube if I can avoid it.

It seems to me that the only pet that's shown on a somewhat realistically regular basis is Angel, possibly because Fluttershy's home is always full of animals, so he fits there nicely. Perhaps the second most regular pet that gets any kind of screen time is Opal, and even she appears quite rarely. All the other pets, however... only if the episode is somehow about them. Otherwise they are mysteriously out of sight and aren't even mentioned, like they didn't even exist.

The new season has been on iTunes since the premier aired. Unfortunately no season pass available yet. https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/my-little-pony-friendship/id975102064

Ah, that would explain it. I guess the lack of a season pass is partly due to how iTunes would occasionally "air" an episode early. Or something like that.

A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

Twilight Sparkle is helping to clean up all the animals, but I think we all know that she is sexing that ferret.

Would like to see only one (and not the other two) get her Cutie Mark and see what happens. That could make for an interesting story but it would also end the CMC arc as well. Understandably, the showrunners are more comfortable leaving things as they are (Status Quo is god).
Sorta kindof happened now...

Okay, just watched the opening to that episode. No way a ferret would sit still through all that!

Episode 96 That was a really good episode! (Bloom & Gloom and Castle Sweet Castle where bland in comparison) The song was the best thing I listened to since Pinkie's Lament. It was emotional (RD caring for Tank) funny (AJ trying to comfort RD, Pinkie, etc.) and exciting (RD broke down the factory). Also liked the music at the factory. They referenced the Rainbow Factory theme (Link).

I found the episode to be a bit strange. Many out of character moments, I'd say. Edit: Curiously, I didn't understand what the writers were going for with this episode, even though it's quite obvious in hindsight. Somehow I just missed it. Clearly they were alluding to someone's grief after losing a beloved one, like a pet; of course since in this series they can't actually have a pet die, they opted for the next best thing. Still felt kind of strange and full of out-of-character moments.

It very much is. I also got the impression that they wanted to do "This is why you have Applejack and Big Mac and Granny Smith" but were told by the execs "No heavy stuff" so they compromised with this.

Hmmm... That looks familiar... Oh yeah. (cross posted from another forum)

Did DeLancie ever voice Uncle Pennybags?

I'm pleasantly surprised the smooze wasn't made into a thousand year entity bent on destroying the world. :P

Somehow I never pictured Discord as the jealous type. After all, he's arguably the most powerful reality-bender in Equestria (with the possible exception of Pinkie), almost omnipotent, and thousands of years old. One wouldn't think that jealousy would be a characteristic of such a demigod. (But then, if you study even a bit of Greek mythology, perhaps it's not so strange after all.)

I generally dislike Hot Topic. Why then do they sell all the cool stuff?

Has the series finally jumped the shark? Well, literally at least, yes: https://derpiboo.ru/910768

Yes, too much pandering. But I don't mind too much as long as whatever happened isn't going to be spoken of or seen ever again.

Yeah, that was some serious asskissing. (Get it? Asskissing? No? Err.. ok. I'll shut up now.)

When I saw the episode's ("Amending Fences") intro I thought that the episode would suck. I was, however, pleasantly surprised. It was actually quite an enjoyable episode.
