Re: In-Season General Show Chat - Season 6 Conversation Stat
SlateSlabrock wrote:Starlight has the same issue Twilight did in season 4: They made her redemption a big event, but then it felt like they started writing the next season before deciding what to do with her. Season 4 Twilight was a princess in name only, with exactly one episode (outside of premiere/finale) touching on her new authority. In this season, Starlight has had three episodes that focus on her (the premiere, Trixie, and the Christmas episode), and then she's completely absent from everything else. Her cameo in the Changeling episode was her first for the second half of this season.
I don't think they need to force Starlight into every episode, but it feels sometimes like big story developments are kept sealed away from the day-to-day episodes when they could just be quietly acknowledged -- show some ponies greeting Princess Twilight, or have Starlight present in ensemble episodes (the cookie episode, the Parks&Rec episode). For example, she was there in the beginning of "Spice Up Your Life" when they rebooted the map. Small details go a long way.
I feel like they're trying really hard not to force her upon us. I mean these are new writers dealing with a new character that's supposed to be a new addition to the main cast in the 6th season of a show. It's easy to see how they don't wanna end up in a Poochie situation.
Of course, the real MLP Poochie is Discord, while Starlight is awesome and a great addition to the cast
