I've always had a little issue with the show for quite a while. I've kept trying to understand what exactly that issue was. But now I think I've figured it out. When I first watched Seasons 1 & 2, it felt like the MLP staff have put a lot of thought into each episode. With excellent story telling, original character development, and touching morals; the viewers would watch and have a feel for the characters, they can actual feel the friendship.

But in Season 3 & 4, I wasn't well-connected to the show as I used to. I still see the friendship, but I couldn't feel it. "It looks the same, but it doesn't feels the same." The main focus was on the openings and finales. In the Season 3 opening, Twilight had to pass a test, and in the finale, she became a princess. In Season 4, they discovered the chest, then got a new castle (along with some key episodes on the way). It was like the MLP staff put all this stuff here in between just to get to the surprise at the end.

Now it seems they're getting deep in Season 5. Now that the "Twilight Princess Story Arc" is complete, it's time to go back to basics and kickoff this new season.
