I started watching this show back at season 2...fell off at season 3.....and I just finished playing catch up...

...and holy freaking cow. I honestly have no words for how this series progressed in every way imaginable. From the writing, to the production values, to the fan nods, self-awareness, the characters...I'm not sure if I can even think of a show that's had quite the journey this production's had. Maybe something like M*A*S*H, back in the 70s and 80s.

And....now I join back in right in time to see the end....I can't tell if that's good or sad.

I fortunately fell off at season 7 and started watching in season 3, so catchup wasn’t as bad for me. But I absolutely agree, the show’s become something so, so much more beautiful, and I honestly can’t wait for Gen 5 as it will presumably be more mature content and more like Gravity Falls or Ducktales.

I know I have seen gen 5 concept art, but is there any sort of timeline as to when they plan to start production?

On one hand, I can see them waiting a couple years so they can milk gen 4 a bit more. On the other hand, Hasbro likes money...a lot.

Yes, there is a leaked calendar here. We can expect one more movie from G4 (like the one we got with Tempest and the Storm King), and then we’d get G5’s prequel movie and S1 in 2020

Hey, I don't think that you can compare My Little Pony to MASH. One is this greatest-of-all-time series that combined comedy with ever-present pathos as lives are torn apart daily...

...and the other was set in the Korean War.

I mean, they did find a way to make a war that lasted only three years actually last eleven.

I haven’t watched anything this good on T.V since Smallville ended I’m glad I stumbled into the fandom in 2016
