I did, in fact, completely forget he was there until someone reminded me.

Can’t say that I’m happy to see Dreamy Cutebottom appear like that (more “Meghan lied!!” comments/posts _yay), but can’t say I’m upset, either. It’s not like he’s affected the plot or interacted with anyone, after all.
 
@Hollow_Shades_resident  
Someone at DHX, Top Draw, or Hasbro obviously likes him, so I’d say he’s returning in season 5. Probably in appearances like those he had in season 4, unless Hasbro has decided ponies need romance in order to sell better.
 
@Background Pony #34CE  
Eh. Even if he hadn’t appeared at all in season 4, I’d still be exactly as worried about the possibility of him becoming a corporate-mandated cardboard cutout love interest in the series. Which is, not very.
 
@Background Pony #5178  
Ah yes, the infamous episode 26i, “Twilight’s Wedding”.
 
@greaterlimits  
This is the logical response. Logic is extremely rare when Dreamy Cutebottom is involved.
 
@KirbyfanNeox  
And you think the credits are done before the animation?
 
But yeah, if Meghan McCarthy couldn’t have prevented that, then she should’ve said something like “He has no role in s4, though he may appear incidentally.”

The part that no one remembers

@cheezedoodle
 
The background ponies we actually care about barely get as much.

@StinkomanFan  
Sorry Freddy, Twilight saved everyone of us.

soon in s5 with twilight mark my words

FLASH  
AAAAAH,  
HE’LL SAVE EVERYONEOFUS!

Here comes the drama!

@KirbyfanNeox
 
He had no bearing on the plot whatsoever. He just had a line of dialog. That’s the definition of background pony.

@ROTHY  
His name is in the fucking credits!

uuuuuuuuuuuugh  
Oh well.

@Background Pony #71B5  
EGADS! I’ve been had!

>implying Meghan was responsible  

oh get a grip people, he had an incredibly minor role here. A fitting punishment.

Get out of her Flash, nopony likes your style.
 
@KirbyfanNeox  
Its not her fault, its the animators for turning a generic guard in the original script to Flash

@Background Pony #48E7  
It’s not really the worst thing that could’ve happened, to be honest, but Meghan explicitly said Flash wasn’t going to be a character in Season 4, and then this happened.  
It’s like she wants the Don’t Believe Her Lies thing to keep going.

@Haymaker  
THAT IS FUCKING HILARIOUS I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING
