Melanoma wrote:The gap between seasons has been widening until season 6 came along. If those hiatuses were consistently 4 months, we'd likely be at season 8 right now but better quality over quantity. Would probably be for the better if the off-seasons to average ~9 months if it means better episodes and story arcs.

The official announcement of Twilight becoming an alicorn caused a lot of people to be upset. Details of EqG began really coming out right after MMC aired, inspiring confidence in very few people, and then the actual movie itself was not very well recieved overall. By the time the fandom cooled off from that, Down With Molestia began in August and went on to become a shitstorm rivaled only by that whole business with Derpy's name. I think that, by the end of it all, people were left very worn out until S4 began and breathed life back into us.

Fizzbuzz wrote:The hiatus between seasons 3 and 4 didn't seem to me like it was all that long, though. MMC aired in February 2013 and S4 started in November that same year. Sure, that was a bit longer than the first and second summers, but I chalked that up mainly to S3 being only 13 episodes long. As far as I know, that was due less to EqG and more to Hasbro only ordering 65 episodes back when FiM began.
