Season 9 Discussion Thread [Warning: SPOILERS!!!!!]

@Jarkes  
Regardless I still would like to see an epilogue.

@Shimmering Spectacle  
We probably will get one during the Finale.

@09MurphyM  
That’s what it is, it means conclusion.

@09MurphyM  
Well, as long it doesn’t happen offscreen.

Like the last season, I’m a bit concerned about this season having too many “season one” type episodes. It’s a bit late in the series to be resorting to simple misunderstandings or making the Mane Six dumbasses for the sake of the plot.

@Background Pony #1C57  
Like how Garfield started doing those Bachelor strips right after Jon started dating Liz? Though they were probably already in the buffer and they just wanted them out of the way I guess…

Time to interpret limited information presented without context in the least charitable way possible.

@DerpyFast  
Dont forget to say that season 9 sucks on that small amount of info Kappa
 
In all seriousness, I can understand why some people can get turned off by this…

@DerpyFast  
No kidding.
 
The synopses sound fine to me, as they are.

@DerpyFast  
This ain’t the place none of that hifalutin’ optimism. Out here, you either lash out or you get burned.

Meanwhile I just hope we get a Starburst episode with Starlight and Sunburst becoming a couple by the end of the season.

@Jarkes  
Or any ship, really. Especially LyraBon. We need LyraBon.

@DerpyFast  

I’m pretty sure deciding how an entire episode will play out based on a single sentence meant to describe the bare essentials of the plot is pretty standard for some parts of the fandom at this point.
 
Personally, I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I wouldn’t be here now, (going on) 9 years later, if they weren’t still making content I find enjoyable.
 
 
@Vivace  

“Optimism!”

@Background Pony #6A79  
nods

So did we get any more summaries yet?

@DerpyFast  
Counterpoint: Time to interpret limited information presented without context in the most favorable way possible.
 
Learned my lesson about that when Father Knows Beast’ summary promised an awesome episode.

@Anonycat  
Except no one’s doing that.

@DerpyFast  
I’m sure someone’s doing it.

@PonyPon
 
Probably is at least a few people.
 
Myself, I’m leaning on the “cautiously optimistic” side.

@Anonycat  
Counterpoint: Deflecting criticism of your behavior is not a counterpoint.

@Background Pony #5CF3
 
Please don’t start this.

i feel if a synopsis sounds interesting then I feel it’s doing its job. You get episodes that sound weak but end up being good, then episodes that sound great only to be a disappointment, and Ideally i’d like to have episodes that sounds great and delivers.
 
But honestly as long there’s nothing like 28 Pranks Later’s “yeah, you’re probably gonna hate this one”, then i’ll stay cautiously optimistic

You know, we have the synopsis for the first 5 episodes and i realized we don’t have the obligatory really early in the season Maud episode.

@LeoNero  
A last change of pace.

@LeoNero  

 
GOOD  
Honestly, Maud was seriously wearing out
