I want... an episode. This show can make nearly anything work, really, and I'm probably the only person here who doesn't give much thought to equality or quantity of character focus. Scootaloo is the only character who really needs more exposure, given that the CMC are main characters with near equal billing to the mane 6 at this point.

Simpler solution is they just aren't doing any episodes focusing on characters other than the Mane 9 and Spike. Luna was an exception but Twilight was still the protagonist of the episode.

Hmm Sonic Rainboom is to Hurricane fluttershy is to _________ Scootaloo. At least I hope.

A Scootaloo episode. A Big Mac episode (as was planned) would be nice as well. Come to think about it, there are lots of characters who would likely make great starring roles.
Snips and Snails in another more prominant role.
Return of villains such as Trixie or Gilda, etc.
Another AJ episode, that is neither shared by another pony or ends up with her Overshadowed by Awesome.

The villain of Season 3 is defeated, not by the mane six, but by the CMC. Somehow.

Oh yeah, Scootaloo needs an episode.

Tealove is best pony. Ask The Mane Six

Well, they did kinda focus on Cheerilee and Big Mac, but that was still a CMC episode. Nobody's saying to put the main six on the back burner. I think they could just do like they did in Luna Eclipsed where the plot revolves around one or two main characters interacting with a side character. That's why I want a substitute teacher episode. Both the mane cast and Cheerilee would get focus.

Mane 9? Do you know something we don't, Blue?

Pronounced "Sid-zellia"

What are you looking at?

#246334 Pannic Tue, 10th Jul '12 5:21:25 PM

More Cakelestia.

#246335 Bluespade Tue, 10th Jul '12 5:21:32 PM from Texas

...people like Snips and Snails? @_@

Mane 6 plus CMC. I guess you could throw Spike in there and call it the Mane 10.

Speaking of CMC, I'd kinda like them to have more Divergent Character Evolution, they still seem a bit too interchangable.

Am I alone in that preference then?

I like Snips and Snails.

I still find this funny.

@Syd It's like I said above him, the CMC are main characters, right around Spike-tier in importance (sans Scootaloo by herself).

#246339 Bluespade Tue, 10th Jul '12 5:22:50 PM from Texas

@Psi: I can't stand them personally.

I'd rate them higher than Spike tier. Spike has only gotten like 2 episodes.

I have to say I don't really care much about Snips and Snails either.

And yeah, the CMC need to have some in-group tension. I've always found it a bit odd that they're almost always on the same page about everything.

How about an episode where The Doctor and I do stuff?

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

#246342 stevebat Tue, 10th Jul '12 5:23:29 PM

So I may be getting a fairly hyperactive 2 year old lab mix (That's a dog) in the future. He has no name (Stray rescue). What should I name him?

@Blue I'm talking about overall exposure and importance. Spike is a semi-important character with plenty of lines in a lot of episodes.

@Freeman That's not chicken.

#246347 Psi 001 Tue, 10th Jul '12 5:25:11 PM

@Bluespade: To each their own I guess.

Spike has had more episodes in the same sense AJ has, in that while they've only had a couple of solo ones they tend to share a good few with another character.

I could name him scoots. The best part is my parents would be none the wiser about the origin.

#246349 Sydxelia Tue, 10th Jul '12 5:26:09 PM

Snips and Snails are best viewed in small doses, IMO.

I'd like to see further exploration of Silver Spoon's "nice" side. She practically vanished after she clapped for Granny Smith.

#246350 Psi 001 Tue, 10th Jul '12 5:26:15 PM

@stevebat: You could name him Spike as well. They'd think nothing of calling your dog that.
