First off, I did suspect that Trixie would have a far more prominent role now that the Mane 6 are one unicorn short. Her involvement in S4 is not unexpected.

Secondly... what an outrage! Gilda got axed? This is more than commercialism; it is blatant absurdity. Might as well toss Zecora while we're at it! And why not Spike too! I can't imagine they're flying off the shelves.

And third... Well, I was not expecting much more from Luna anyway. They've been pretty lax with her development so far, and she is easily the darkest character in FiM, despite her being a nerd with a thousand years of catching up to do. In fact, the fandom has done a better job handling Luna than the writers have. (For example, "Spark" and "Seeing the Pattern" present her as she is supposed to be: dutiful and harsher than Celestia, but still awkward).

Anyway, this is a dire series of developments. It may be time for a "Save Gilda" movement...
