Season 7 Episode Discussion [Speculation, Discussion, Spoilers] (SPOILER YOUR LEAKS)

Wait…WAIT…is that a CELESTIA episode???
 
I know right? With how often people have complained about the show lacking that exact thing, you’d think the mere possibility would have gotten a bit more of a reaction.

Given that Starlight is essentially the new Twilight, this really isn’t that surprising. Plus the writers are going all out to try and make people like her still.

So it’s called Twilight and Starlight yet features an episode (well 2 technically) where Twilight does jack all. Maybe we’ll I’ll get lucky and the other two episodes are Twilight focused slice of life episodes.  
Nah, that has about as much chance of Celestia actually getting an episode to herself instead of being second banana to Starlight or Twilight

Without synopsis, NOTHING is for certain. Celestia could be offscreen the entire episode.

Pity she has to double-bill with Starlight of all people.
 
At first i would prefer a Twilight/Celestia episode, but since i learned to find out Twilight fans to be annoying and mostly to be Luna supporters, i would prefer and appreciate Starlight/Celestia episode.
 
Also, Twilight is getting on my nerves with instantly giving up when it doesn’t work like in the books or her nerdy antics in general.

I would still be more pissed about all this if I didn’t like Starlight’s episodes and found them some of the most interesting from season 6.
 
I know I tend to end up sounding like a jerk or an idiot, but I really do get the crux of the issue people have with Starlight having screentime. I still can’t agree because I liked them so much. If I feel like she’s giving me some of the best parts of the season, how can I want her to go away?

So what if “Bottled Up” was actually a bottle episode? My thinking is Chrysalis is back (somehow) and is in the Friendship Castle which is in some kind of “Lockdown” mode with the Mane 6 Starlight and Spike and you have something similar to The Thing and the actual “Can you trust who you see” sort of thing going on and the characters that are trapped are getting on each others nerves.

Okay, I guess.
Finally a Celestia episode but she is going to share it with STARLIGHT GLIMMER?
 
Excuse me while I go outside to punch things.

If I had to guess, perhaps “Celestial Advice” will be something like this:
 
Starlight needs advice about something, and Twilight recommends going to Celestia. Instead of directly giving advice, Celestia shares one of her past experiences and most of the episode is about that past experience. Kind of like what they did with “A Hearth’s Warming Tail”, except it’s something that Celestia actually experienced.
 
This would be a convenient way to actually make the episode pretty much entirely about Celestia, while still involving Starlight in some capacity.
 
But I’m not a psychic, so I could be totally wrong. But it seems the most likely possibility.

Well, that seems sorta off. Because issue #50 of the comics has implied that Starlight is actually much smarter than a being who is over milleniuum older than she is, so if anyone will be needing the advice, it’ll surely be Celestia.
 
Because why not?
 
In any case, “Twilight and Starlight” is honestly what I want to see least of in season 7 at this point. Yes, we’ve established that Starlight is now Twilight’s #1 best friend and always will be, but Starlight desperately needs more interaction time with non-Twilight and non-Trixie ponies.

The show tends to ignore the comics, so I think you’re good on that one.
 
But honestly, yeah, I agree with you. Starlight needs more interaction with ponies who aren’t Twilight or Trixie.
 
Heck, I think she still needs some more interaction with Sunburst especially, and that’s NOT my hardcore Starburst shipper talking.

  1. “Definitely”, not “defiantly”. Those are two totally different words that somehow get confused a lot on the Internet.  
  2. You think so? It did always bother me that he wasn’t even acknowledged in the season 6 finale after being mentioned in part 1, and he wasn’t seen with any of the other freed ponies…

You know what would be nice to see in Season 7? Spike interacting with the Mane 6 outside of Rarity and Twilight. I mean I think his and Rainbow Dash’s scene from Tanks For the Memories was the first time they’ve ever had a scene together.

Well, Spike did have a season 3 episode with Applejack. He also interacted with Pinkie Pie in the season 1 episode Fall Weather Friends. The only one he hasn’t really interacted with when it comes to the Mane 6 is Fluttershy.

Spike at Your Service is really his only time interacting with Applejack and his Pinkie Pie interaction went away rather quietly after season 1, so more of it after 5+ years would be welcomed

It would be welcomed, but I don’t know what they could do with Spike when it comes to Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack. Honestly, I just think there’s more story ideas when you pair Spike up with either Rarity or Twilight.
