I don't care how many episodes have first season. I only care for show to be long and I enjoyed it.

Loved the dump Mousa.

Also, do you have karate Dash close to hand?

I too am confused about how a season could last over a year.

If there is anything that you are alone in thinking, it's "thinking that you're alone in thinking of your theories".

Awesomeissimo, AHR, glad to hear it.

@Applelight. I knew I forgot to scan something. Gonna need a few minutes.

I analyze "Geek Culture" here.

When All Else Fails, worry, that's the 14 way.

I'm British so I'm biased, but I honestly think 8-12 episodes is fine for a season. Although that aplies more to live action shows.

#130557 storyyeller Mon, 19th Mar '12 8:33:02 AM from Appleloosa

Oh, it appears that in cases of a 65 episode season, they were airing every day, not every week.

I could never understand British way. Shows from UK are so short.

For old time's sake, my cheapo netbook has had that ancient circa early-2000s copy of Photoshop 6.0 I managed to salvage from somewhere loaded on it. It's got a processor superior to the Centrinos and K6-2's and Pentium 4's of the time period, even if it's a featherweight Atom N455 running XP.

If I need to, I'll go back to using the olde Photoshop for my works :V

Also, as long as the ponies retain the magic Lauren invested in them, I'll continue to support them :D Even if they have 8 seasons like My Little Dashie claims it's gonna have.

For a weekly deal, 13-26 episode seasons is fine :D

Quality over quanity. Would you rather have 8 amazing episodes or 26 mediocre episodes?

Again, this aplies more to live action shows.

#130561 Mr AHR Mon, 19th Mar '12 8:37:50 AM from ಠ_ಠ

26. The best episodes can come out of the filler episodes where they decide to explore some crazy possibilities.

#130562 Purple Dalek Mon, 19th Mar '12 8:38:48 AM from the Moon

But you still have a load of mediocre episodes.

All it make me feel that I watched cancelled show after one season (sometimes less).

Dalek: There is no absolute. Some episodes will be better than others, but it will allow more people to watch and decide what episodes they like best. There is no absolute amount that people can write before they start sucking.

#130565 Perpetual Lurker Mon, 19th Mar '12 8:40:34 AM

I guess daily airings would work for a 65 episode season, but with that you would have to either produce the whole season before hand, or go really cheap on the animation. Both options probably run animators ragged. It's just more economically sound to go for shorter, quality over quantity seasons, and if you need more episodes you get another season.

@ Mousa

Thanks!

Also, being British...I'm used to the short seasons.

...how many UK people do we have here?

#130568 Applelight Limited Mon, 19th Mar '12 8:42:19 AM from Manehattan to Canterlot

At least...four.

I've actually seen a lot of opinions on this episode, and the general sentiment is that they find Merriweather's writing doesn't really work as well as they would like. Maybe we're all spoilt on our high expectations for G4 Ponies now

Watching lots of anime has made me used to looooooong series. Confound all this filler D:

Then you have stuff like Blue's Clues where they literally air the same episode over and over.

#130571 kyun Mon, 19th Mar '12 8:43:20 AM

Okay back to ponies.

Now that we're nearing the end of the season, how do you think it holds up to the last one?

#130572 Purple Dalek Mon, 19th Mar '12 8:43:22 AM from the Moon

@kyun Well there's me, Applelight, Ginger and proberly some more.

Season 2 is better than season 1 imo. Season 1 took a while to grow the beard. The early episodes were enjoyable but not as much as later ones.

#130573 Kyler Thatch Mon, 19th Mar '12 8:43:29 AM from the bottom of my heart

Does it really matter how many episodes there are in a season? I'd expect quality to be more a function of how often they're expected to crank out an episode, and how much resources they have in terms of budget and manpower. A longer season just means, well, a longer season.

you will go to the paper towns and you will never come back

#130574 Death Cloud Mon, 19th Mar '12 8:44:28 AM from Horsehead Nebula

All those shows like Red Dwarf or Black Adler have good episodes but not that good to justified having such short season. I prefer american shows with long season. More fun.

#130575 kyun Mon, 19th Mar '12 8:45:46 AM

I do agree, so far this season has been slightly better. Because the lesson don't always need to be learned by one of the Main Six anymore, a lot can be done with only a handful of the cast being featured in an adventure instead of all 7 main characters, making room to explore the world more. I seen people hate this season for this same reason too.
