My theory is that this hiatus was unplanned. It is the result of production problems with a new, higher-priority DHX project. This has required that they divert resources away from MLP season 5 to prevent a crash-and-burn.

What project? I'm thinking either the Big Pony Movie or an Equestria Girls mini-series to be shown after Friendship Games. The extra work meant that episodes 14 to 26 aren't finished yet.

Scare Master probably will air on October 31. If I'm right about the rest, Season 5.2 of FiM and Season 1 of EqG will air on alternate weeks.
