I'm hoping to see how Starlight Glimmer develops. Part of me wants to see her reform, but she could also be something that My Little Pony never really had... a long term recurring villian. Hydia, Reeka, and Draggle almost count, but they were only in My Little Pony: The Movie and "The End of Flutter Valley" Parts 1-10, after that they never appeared again. Superman had Lex Luthor, Batman had a The Joker, the Care Bears had Cold Heart (and Frostbite), No Heart (Beastly, and Shreeky), Grizzle, and King Beastly [not the same as No Heart's assistant]. My Little Pony needs one continuous villian who will be there in almost every episode, at least for a while.

On the other hand, at some point someone needs to peacefully confront her so she can reform: why is she obsessed with equalization. What happened to her that lead to this? Did she have a good friendship with someone that broke up due to talent differences. Perhaps when she and/or friend got their cutie marks, explored their talents, and one of them did the same thing that Rainbow Dash always does [see "The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well" and Rainbow Rocks] and a major blowout occurred that remained unresolved.

I'm looking forward to seeing her story unfold.

Actually, "The Cutie Map" almost reminds me of The Care Bears in the Land Without Feelings. A remote area ruled by a control freak who forces visitors to convert in some way until the heroes arrived to dethrone him/her, and he/she ends up on the run and finds new ways to cause trouble later. But Cold Heart used a much stronger control method than Starlight Glimmer did.
