Some additional details about season 3 have surfaced. Apparently a couple of the writers have left the team, along with story editor, Rob Renzetti. Meghan McCarthy will take over story editing responsibilities. She was a writer during the first two seasons. It sounds like Hasbro played it cautious after both Lauren Faust and Rob Renzetti left by only ordering 13 episodes for Season 3, half as many episodes as each of the first two seasons.
