Another thing I can't stand. · 10:30pm May 14th, 2017
Yesterday, I watched episode 6 'Forever Filly'. Unfortunately, I found this episode on YouTube before 'Rock Solid Friendship' even aired. Now, I'm finding out about an episode 9? I know that there are people out there who see these episodes in Canada (or wherever) first, and they can't wait to let others know about it or write fanfics based on it. However, there is probably just as many that want to just wait until it premieres on the Hub Family Discovery channel. I'm doing my best to avoid learning about these episodes in advance, but they're like Savior-Faire, they're everywhere (yes, I'm that old). So please, think of the one that can't or don't want to see episodes in advance and:
I know how you feel, there have been at least two episodes that have aired in Australia, including the one with AJs parents that I have heard so much about and it irks me that here in the US we have to wait for hell to freeze over to see them. Hasbro eventually told that outfit out of Canada to quit airing them early and they did. Now they need to do the same with that station out of Australia. People see it on youtube and dailymotion and then that winds up hurting ratings here in the US. They're already low enough because of the damn high retransmission fees Discovery Communications charges which puts a lot of their networks (Discovery Family and Destination America, my faves) in a higher cable package.
I have a friend who has watched the ones aired early already and luckily she hasn't spoiled anything because I want to wait until they air here to see them. I'm not going to do the same thing I did with the season 6 finale.
I shall be a dear and respect your wish to no spoilers if possible.
