Actually, I think Applejack and Fluttershy have probably gotten the best characterization out of all the Mane 6 this season. Sure, they had a few rough spots here and there (Applejack in Somepony to Watch Over Me and Fluttershy in Power Ponies), but for the most part, I think the writers did a good job with their characters, with Applejack being well-characterized in episodes like Bats!, Pinkie Apple Pie, Simple Ways and Leap of Faith and Fluttershy well-characterized in Filli Vanilli and It Ain't Easy Being Breezies.

Now, I can agree with you somewhat on Spike, considering the amount of abuse he's gotten. However, I think Inspiration Manifestation and Equestria Games did a fairly good job with Spike's character, which more than makes up his season-long abuse.
