I just found out the news about the season finale. · 4:37am Jan 30th, 2013
I'll really tempted on going on a rant on why this is an awful decision, but I'll wait till then. But it's going quite a bit of time.
I guess I have one thing to look forward to:
season three is almost over. Hopefully, that will reduce the number of headaches.
I'm desperately trying to reserve judgement, but honestly? I just keep trying to think of some way, any way, that Princess Twilight won't be terrible. So far, I've got nothing.
I guess the most that can be hoped for at this point is that it's a "princess for a day" deal, a la Rarity's stint as a winged unicorn in Sonic Rainboom. But even if I held out much hope for the reassertion of the status quo (which I don't), I just don't see how anything good can come of this.
Eeyup, both you and Chris pretty much hit the nail on the head. It must be tough for those poor writers, having to deal with the decisions of Hasbro execs.
