Except Celestia is much better at the game than they are. She solved the Nightmare Moon issue with nothing but a letter about making friends. Gandalf have to get 13 dwarves to kill a dragon and then prance around middle earth with a few hobbits to get the job one.

And Dumbledore was just kind of an asshole.

Eh Celestia and Dumbledore are almost the exact same character (even more so if the comics really do go in the direction people think they will)

Once you have a good thing going, the impulse is to push it as far as it will go. :-I :pcstare:

:cheese: How'd you learn to sing like that, Princess?
:gotcha: I've had lots and lots of hobbies over the millennia.

Just for the record: I don't post here anymore because I've mostly quit the fandom, but you guys are still cool and I still love the show. I don't want anyone to think I slammed the door behind me or lost my passion or anything sad like that.

Well, you can be like me and just appreciate the show or comics and the occasional cool toy on the weekends independent of anything else. :allears:

It's all about the budgeting of time and attention in he end.

I'm actually wondering if she'll finally get a checkmate in this season finale, I mean if she Transfers her magic to Twy, she doesn't have it to keep her 1000+ year old flank young anymore! I mean Cadence is still young, and Luna has the moon Banishment loophole, but I wonder if giving up her magic up, even for a short time might cause her to kick the bucket...or at the very least get all old & wrinkly like Granny Smith!? :gotcha:


I really don't expect to see much of a change in them except making Celestia's and Luna's mane non-wavey. I think if they were going to do a younger/demagiced princess model, we would have seen it in the season premier during the flashbacks.

No, because Dumbledore was incompetent and a jerk and Celestia is a goddess and supreme and all-powerful and able to defeat all evil with just a blink of her eyes if she wishes! :twonk:

I'm firmly and curmudgeonly on the side of missing the awesome "lax about all that royalty stuff" season 1 Celestia vibe, as opposed to the newer "Generic 'serious issues' ahead! Time to narrate for the incoming plot!" Celestia mode. :rainbert:

Indeed. I guess it's possible that the writers just never thought of a situation where it would've been nice to have Celestia throughout this season, but still, even she got to have some nice incidental appearances in S1.

I'm really crossing my fingers in the hopes that she gets more moments like that in Season 5. It'd be really nice.

If someone's older than a thousand, than yeah I consider them old. They may look the same, but still doesn't change the fact they're not young.

Apparently season 3 of "Littlest Pet Shop" will start on May 31, less than two months after season 2 ended.

How likely it is that Pony season 5 will have that quick turnaround?

Really, except for Crystal Empire, and MCC, when it was meant to be a test, Celestia doesn't really withhold info from Twilight.

In the Pilot, all Twilight needed to know was to make friends. Any other info would have distracted her.

Return of Harmony. Celestia lays it all out for her.

Canterlot Wedding. Celestia via Shining Armor, tells her everything they know.

PTS - Celestia vanishes, unable to tell her anything.

Only other time I can think of her withholding info was EQG, as I have to believe she knows what world is on the other side of that mirror (especially after info from the recent comic arc). Not to mention it explains why Principals Celestia and Luna are so surly. The cosmic lottery put them in charge if a High School, where their other world counterparts are pony princesses with godlike powers and pretty, pretty wings that rule over an entire empire.

No. One of the writers confirmed that it's a full 26 episode season.

Wow, LPS has a shorter gap between script + airdate.

Odds are S2 & S3 of LPS were made back to back, thus the short break. Sadly pony isn't that lucky, probably for the better though, as Granny Smith says, can't rush perfection. :granny:

My guess is Season 5 will air around November as usual. Maybe September or October of we're really lucky!

Actually, given that season 4 production started before season 3 even aired, what are the odds that seasons 4 and 5 were actually in production back to back?

@TailSpin: I heard from an ex Everfree Network guy LPS was planned for 4 seasons in total. But I'd take that info with a grain of salt.

@Mr. Big: That would be awesome, but somehow I dunno. Even if they were, Hasbro/Hub will probably wait till after Rainbow Rocks airs to start S5.

I thought this ponyless summer was going to be much shorter than the last few anyway. If I could make it past last year's, I can make it through this one as well.

I don't think it's going to be much shorter, per se. The first summer went from May 6 to September 17, though that was with the slightly odd production circumstances for The Return of Harmony. I expect S5 will begin in October.
