Joking aside the reason I skipped it is because, at best, the writing style that began in season six just kind of bores me in the same way I would get bored watching someone chop carrots; yeah something is happeneing, but I'm simply not invested in it. At worst, it actively deconstructs the brilliant characters and compelling universe that I've interpreted from the show up to season six, which for me is like watching someone pour ketchup onto an expertly-crafted crème brûlée.

I know skipping episodes makes me open to the criticism "you never know until you try", but the thing is, I watched my way through last season on the idea of "maybe this one" and never felt I got the return on my investment. I'm not necessarily saying the episodes I don't watch are bad (since I don't know), just that the opening failed to inspire the standard MLP excitement in me.
