I was just briefly calling to attention how she's written by Polsky.

As far as S3 goes... Filly Please mentions that Pinkie learns mature lessons in Season 2. While that's true, Pinkie is not the "mature" member of the main cast. She's always been the jokester, and she should always be the jokester. A character can learn, but their established characterization shouldn't change as a consequence.

And besides, it isn't just Pinkie that suffered from bad characterization in Season 3. (Applejack in One Bad Apple, Spitfire in Wonderbolts Academy, Spike in Spike At Your Service, etc.*) And she wasn't without her good S3 moments either: The Crystal Empire Part 1, Too Many Pinkie Pies, Wonderbolts Academy...

Season 1 for Pinkie Pie was good. Season 2 was great. Did I think Season 3 was bad for her? Nah, it was pretty so-so for me.
