I still don't see how that qualifies as a "gamble" or "risk". Was it a "risk" having Party Favor, Night Glider, Sugar Belle, and Double Diamond save the day in the season five premiere?

Just because the Mane Six are the main characters doesn't mean the show always has to be about them. And Starlight stepping up as a hero is something they'd clearly been building toward over the course of the entire season.
