I didn't mind Derpy not being in Sleepless, there were no scenes where she would have been appropriate, IMO, and as much as I love her she doesn't need to be force jammed into every episode. Heck, Spike and Twi didn't appear in Sleepless either but I'm not worried about them. However, I will agree that I was very disappointed that they absolutely did not show her cutie mark or eyes in scenes where she formerly absolutely would have fit in previously in S3, including the spectator crowd scene in Magic Duel and the concerned crowd in Too Many Pinkie Pies. If you count only definitive sightings that include cutie mark and/or derp eyes, Derpy has not appeared at all in S3, which would by far be her longest absence from the show both consecutively and as a percentage of a total season. The previous record for not showing Derpy's eyes or cutie mark was two eps and that was in a 26 ep season. Currently we have not seen her eyes or cutie mark for six eps out of a 13 ep season. So I agree she doesn't need to be forced in every episode, but clearly she is not showing up as frequently or as definitively as the previous two seasons.
