I have similar feelings....it feels like the show is about to undergo a massive growth-spurt, as all the characters move forward as Adults....their was already massive development within this season already; people are so taken by what's going to happen, that they forgot about that.

Of course, some people don't like change; they don't, for example, truly want the CMC to get their cutie marks (in the canon anyway), and want them to endearingly crusade forever....but actually getting them would create new changes in the show that would be just as exciting -- it comes down to personal taste and how open you are. Perhaps Sweetie doesn't get a singing cutie mark and gets something she doesn't like...how would she cope with this? Maybe she discovers a talent nobody could have expected? That's not character inconsistency or a failure in continuity... it's called growing up.

As you say, Rainbow has already joined the Academy...the next step, is to join the Wonderbolts themselves - maybe she finds out it's not what she wanted...maybe she joins the Royal Guard in defending Twilight...maybe she goes down a completely different career path, and surprises us all. All of this is genuine growth and development, and will be interesting to watch...and she won't be the only one to do so.

One thing is crystal clear....the Mane 6 are best friends, and will stick together....Even if Twilight elects to stay in Canterlot and rule, I would have no doubt that the others would make extreme changes in their own lives to adapt, whether it means following her, or perhaps giving their own lives a re-think. Whatever happens, It'll definitely be an interesting ride, so we should look forward too it.
