1. In my opinion; Trixie is reforming not reform'ed. 'In her first episode she was neither good nor evil, just arrogant. Also, a lot of the stuff she did to make a fool of the main characters is semi-justified, as performers are trained to do that when heckled; if you try to make the perfomer look stupid, they will usually turn it around and make you look stupid. However, I am not a Trixie apologist, as they only heckled her due to her arrogance, and she was also wrong to lie about the Ursas. Trixie was "evil" in her second apperance and was more of a threat, but a the end of it she reverted to a slightly better version of Season 1 Trixie. She appologised, but did so in an arrogant way; she has not reformed, but she is in the process of doing so to me. It was handled a lot better than Discord suddenly understanding friendship and 180-ing.

2. Well they were based on a child's story - even if that child was Lauren. Also, a lot of the storylines of FIM are generic, but the writing is usually so good, and a new spin on it they seem less generic. That doesn't count as overused to me - if anything it's underused as we don't know much about them yet. It's obvious to me that the plan was for them to be (at the very least) mentioned characters in Season 1 and 2 before they appeared (if they had come up with the idea that Shining Armor was Twilight's brother sooner they would have had an excuse to mention him sooner), as opposed to just a picture appearing online saying their names, and the fact that they were in love during season 1.

3. Agree the Crystal Empire needs more history, and maybe it will get some one day. If not, we'll create our own. I have some ideas for it, but they're not fully formed yet (partly because I'm checking what the official version will do, as I don't need it yet).

4. Lauren wasn't allowed to use Luna too much back when she was involved, now that she's gone and has no power over the show, there's a chance we'll see less Luna, but at least they're still using her.
