You know, it has just occurred to me that when Season 2 of TYT got started back in January, the first few episodes really did come out on a weekly schedule as originally advertised. But by around late February or early March, the series suddenly (for seemingly no reason at the time) went to a biweekly release schedule, with the special longer episode not releasing until three weeks after the the previous standard episode.
It is only recently that we found out that it was around March or April that further production of TYT episodes was rather abruptly cancelled. Putting those pieces together, it now makes sense why the release schedule was suddenly lengthened when it did, because they wanted to stretch out for as long as possible what they did manage to complete. Had they stuck with their intended weekly schedule, the final completed episode would’ve released on June 20.
I guess they decided to wait until they reached the last few completed episodes on this stretched out release schedule before they finally revealed the truth of TYT’s cancellation so that we wouldn’t spend the entire summer panicking about the future of not just G5 but all of MLP in general.
