5. Writers can't get out of sympathy for Spike, pit.

6. Fandom still mildly annoyed.

I know I can take this show too seriously, but I am tired of the writers treating Applejack, Fluttershy, and Spike as secondhand characters. At least with Season 4, Applejack got some much needed attention. Unfortunately Fluttershy has been fluctuating between being a filler character to actually progressing. While Spike...*sigh* I am not sure when he became the 'butt-monkey' of the show, when he was never introduced as that in earlier seasons. To have such character portrayed as being helpful and confident in previous MLP series, only to have him become this in G4, it is really saddening.
