We were also anticipating the Equestria Games episode to center on the Equestria Games rather than being a Spike episode, I'm sure that was a bit letdown for many. I myself was disappointed by it. We were anticipating a Rarity episode in Season 3, and a two-part final in Season 3 as well.

And I love how you all give me Tartarus for all the "patterns" I mention (increasing gaps between seasons, less biting tails, etc.) but you seem to think there's a pattern that seasons always begin, and sometimes end, with a villain, because they all have been going this way thus far. Well guess what, the two patterns I noticed have been consistent so far so why is it that it's hard to believe but you still assume there'll be a villain in the new episodes?

I'll say it again, for people who missed it the last hundred times: There is no way they can top Tirek without having the new villain kill some ponies or steal their souls, and even if they did, no villain can last half an episode now that the Mane 6 have Rainbow Power which can defeat any enemy, seeing as how Tirek is basically the Thanos of MLP. Besides, I'd much rather not have any more villain episodes than have one that disappoints. I was disappointed by Princess Twilight Sparkle (for villain quality) and Twilight's Kingdom (for villain fate, although I have since come up with a redeeming headcanon for him, seeing as how Tartarus is hell).
