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

@EotD
 
Still, I just think there’s more story ideas when you pair Spike up with someone like Rarity or Twilight.

@EotD  
And with the ear of their leader, he could easily get her to meet some on her terms.

@Josh103  

 
Only two Starlight episodes again…
 
I wonder if Celestial Advice is a Celestia and Starlight episode? This would amazing to see Starlight finally interacting with the ruler of Equestria, unlike their failed attempt last time in No Second Prances.
 
No idea what “All Bottled Up” is going to be about…

@Jarkes
 

 
I truly hope that remains the case during season 7.
 
 
@EotD
 
Eh, I’ll always want more TwiSpike. They’re my favorite dynamic in the show. But yeah, I see what you’re saying.
 
However, I think Applejack and Spike have a cute dynamic themselves:
 

A Celestia episode. Hmm, IDK, souds too good to be true. I’ll believe it when i see it.

@Background Pony #B27B
 
If recent episodes and comics are any indication, putting Celestia and Starlight in the same room tends to be a bad idea.
 
One couldn’t be in the spotlight even if all of Equestria depended on it, and the other doesn’t even have to try to have all of the spotlights.

Celestial Advice will probably be just another Twilight/Starlight episode, albeit perhaps one with Celestia having the fourth-biggest role after those two and Spike…

Meh

Oh goodie, what’s next? Starlight is going to steal Celestia’s spotlight if the episode does air. If that happens, any chance of S7 being good goes out the door for me. Seriously.. I don’t know why she has fans anyway…..

@Background Pony #57A3
 
I don’t like Starlight, and even I think you’re jumping the gun a bit.

@Background Pony #57A3  
Because people watching the show from the start hoped that Celestia would be a part of it, or get involved in some stories?

@Background Pony #BA71
 
At this point I’ll take what I can get. Celestia co-starring alongside Starlight? That’s still more than what we usually get.

@Dustcan  
I just want Starlight off the show completely. She’s such a waste. I guess some are ok with Mediocrity.

@Josh103  
“Celestial Advice”
 
Wha-WHAT?! Could it be?  
……this can’t be real. They have to be pulling my leg again! I thought the writing stuff were unable to think up such a concept! It could be one of those “fuck you she’s really a minor role” deals!  
But if the future proves me wrong on that last part, we could be getting our FIRST CELESTIA EPISODE!

I’m still disappointed by the low amount of Starlight episodes implied here for the next season.  
From our experience with season 6. The show always seems to pretend she doesn’t exist until she gets her own episode. That’s the most frustrating part about her.

@SeraphimDawn  
We only have know that two episodes out of twenty four more that will star Starlight, there could be more for all we know.

Lesson Zero:9.3  
Luna Eclipsed:9.0  
Sisterhooves Social:9.1  
The Cutie Pox:9.0  
May The Best Pet Win:8.8  
The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well:8.1  
Sweet and Elite:8.8  
Secret of My Excess:8.2  
Hearth’s Warming Eve:9.0  
Family Appreciation Day:8.6  
Baby Cakes:8.6
 
 

 

@SeraphimDawn  
I seriously doubt those are going to be Starlight’s only episodes this season. Assuming that the season premieres in the first week of April and the episodes listed aren’t scheduled to air after May 31st, that would leave at most 9 episodes to air during that time stretch, which is only a little over 1/3 of the season. Excluding the likely two-parters, Starlight’s likely going to get at least 4 episodes dedicated to her this season.

@SeraphimDawn  
Don’t worry, I’ve got a gut feeling that there will be plenty of Starlight episodes/appearances to give us joy, and probably less joy to other people.

Honestly, what I hope happens with Starlight this season is that in addition to Starlight getting some episodes dedicated to her, I hope she appears more in episodes that aren’t about her. I mean, you would think we would see more of her given that she is literally living in Twilight’s castle.

@Holofan4life  
I don’t see that happening, she’s still a secondary character.

@Magma_ERuptiOn
 
They could at least have her be in the background of some episodes. I mean, she’s literally living in Twilight’s castle.

Does this mean the show will continue into 2018?

@Background Pony #E13C
 
If this one is the last, unlikely; the season, at the latest, will finish in December, assuming no mid-season hiatuses.
 
Unless there’s a Season 8.

@Background Pony #E13C  
 
Yes, it probably will.
