Also,
Spoiler: damn you, internet! (click to show/hide)
I'm mildly impressed at the speed required to get that drawn and up so quickly. Possibly I overestimate the difficulty of drawing stuff.

What is really sad is that the moment I saw that scene I knew someone would do that.

Hate to disappoint but it'll be pretty much the same episodic format as before. Dunno if Discord is going to be recurring, but certainly not remotely close to every episode.

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Format-wise, this is basically exactly the same as Season 1, so I am not even slightly surprised at the plan being for episodic... episodes. Goddammit, apparent redundancy.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

There seems to be an overarching plot that advances (only) in the first episode(s) of each season.

So basically we'll see a conclusion around the start of Season 14? Sounds fine to me, assuming they get that far.  :)

What I'm wondering is when we'll get a movie.

G3 had like, 6 12!!! direct to video movies! We have to get at least one for G4.

I think they should try to distance themselves as far as possible from G3 and earlier

And you know that DTDVD would be the perfect chance for them to buck (8)) the restrictions on 'scary' content and have a fully developed, feature length narrative.  :)

Personally, I'm waiting for a Ponies on Ice production.

Actually, if Hasbro sees the brony demographic to be large enough, we might get a movie shown in theaters... :)

I would totally set up a tent outside that a week in advance. I wouldn't do that for anything else.

Hey, not like I expect it'd be a big budget movie. Just one of those movies shown in a few hundred theaters around the country, without much marketing. Not like they'd need to advertise much, unless they wanted a large number of the 12 year old girl demographic too.

Whoa! Brainwave!

I just realized what makes MLP:FIM so good, or rather, what makes it so very SURPRISING that it is so good. My Little Pony: Firendship Is Magic is, ultimately, the latest in the series of tie-ins to a toy line, BUT Friendship Is Magic is unique in that it is the first to fully buck the limitations of Hasboro's ability to manufacture low-quality toys. That is to say, that Friendship Is Magic is, able to shine because unlike its predecessors its characters do not appear to be crudely hewn out of cheap unarticulated plastic, thus allowing viewers to face the screen without being seized by the overwhelming desire to tear their eyes out of their sockets as would be the case with My Little Pony generations 1-3 (and also, for that matter, the case with He-Man, GI Joe,  and almost all iterations of Transformers)

If you're including Beast Wars in that then I will destroy you. And you will know my name is Bauglir when I lay my vengeance upon you.
