This is something I really should have included in my "Reflections" post yesterday, but oh well. Season 4 was the season in which Derpy made her triumphant return. It's not always easy to remember now, but for many fans (not all, but a lot) Derpy's almost complete sidelining during S3 was a really big deal. And, therefore, so was her reappearance in "Rainbow Falls" and her role in several subsequent episodes. We may have had to wait until S5 for her to speak again, but if you weren't around in 2014 then believe me, Derpy coming back was very happily received.
But she didn't even get to participate in the team :(
ReplyDeleteI hope it's one of those situations where the reserves also get medals for team events.
In my headcanon, it absolutely is.
