So I'm pretty sure there will be one or two more duds. As long as there aren't 20 of them, I won't get too worried.<br /><br />I can remember that during Season <i>Three</i> people were already worrying that the show might go on for too long. I think I said at the time that I felt five seasons would be about right. I was wrong about that, and I'm happy to have been wrong, but I don't want <i>Simpsons</i> Syndrome to affect the show.<br /><br />Assuming it ends after nine seasons, then that's fair enough. I'll always treasure <i>FiM</i> and I imagine it'll always be "my" <i>MLP</i>, in the same way that in <i>Doctor Who</i>, Christopher Eccleston will always be "my" Doctor. But I intend to watch G5 when it arrives, and at least give it a chance. :)Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769758118827489093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301854188587462574.post-16927072646011469002018-06-18T00:20:05.268+01:002018-06-18T00:20:05.268+01:00Excellent review sir.

Agree to disagree! ;-)).<br /><br />There is one thing I wanted to talk you about explicitly. I actually sent a Soapbox article to ED about it, but I think won't be bad if I talk you about it here. Despite I loved the first half of the S8, there is an episode that confirmed all of my fears about the show going on for too long: Non-Compete Clause. I'm not gonna go into what is wrong within the episode, because we all know what is wrong with it. What I want to talk about is another thing: Many people are freaking out over the rumors (which are slowly getting confirmations) of the S9 being the last one and frankly after NCC I just don't understand why. The problems with NCC are common problems I saw in many other shows that run for too long like Family Guy or The Fairly OddParents (Heck I even made jokes of NCC potentially being a discarded post Wishilogy FOP episode with MLP's characters pasted on it), and my fear for MLP was that it would have met the same fate of those shows. This is why I originally planned to quit after the Movie: To not see that happening. If I changed my mind was... Thanks to the leaks. The episodes contained in the leaks (NCC aside) as well as the details of FiM ending with the S9 made me understanding that most of my fears were wrong, so I've decided to go on until the very end. What I don't understand is... NCC was more of an isolated case, but if the show goes on for too long episodes like that would become the new praxis, and frankly, I don't want to see that happening. Would fans wish for more seasons beyond the S9 if that would mean more eps like that one? Let's think about it for a minute.<br /><br />One last thing thought: With the S9 being the last one, there are only 37 eps left (I count the two parters as one eps, and also add the upcoming Christmas special to the count), with so few eps left, I really hope that NCC is the last dud we're going to get. I really do hope so...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
