Anypony disappointed with Trixie's redemption:

Did you honestly expect Trixie to die in this episode? She may have been an arrogant boaster in Season 1 but she was nowhere near on the scale of King Sombra, or Chrysalis, hay, even Sunset Shimmer (and I'm referring to the real Sunset Shimmer rather than her demon form). Somehow I think the show won't kill off characters like that, only pure evil villains. MAYBE Celestia and Luna as a sort of plot device in Season 4. Although she did get more sinister when corrupted by the Alicorn Amulet, I wonder how many thought she wasn't corrupted by it at all and became this evil through desire for revenge on Twilight? (although many did think it was made from King Sombra's horn and acted like the One Ring so I'll say plenty expected the corruption element)

But wait... Fuzzy Slippers was a regular pony, and not a villain, just mistaking Rainbow Dash for a burglar trying to steal his slippers, and he did die, his funeral being in the next episode. But he was a random character and the first we see of him is with his cancer so I guess there's a difference there.
