Remember when My Little Pony wasn't a jumbled mess of different airdates around the world?
I can't even go on Derpibooru now without risking tripping over finale spoilers.
What the hell happened with the second half of Season 8?
So it is that bad, huh? The only pony site I frequent is Fimfiction, and even here it's a mess. Knighty posted episode discussions for three different episodes last week, one of which I don't think was supposed to air in the US until September.
I think Hasbro just stopped caring and got tired of Discovery Family's advertising (or lack thereof) for the show. Wouldn't surprise me if they're planning to go straight to digital with G5.

Exactly what i was thinking. They might as well rush the episodes out to get started with g5
4928372 interestingly, it looks like they're going to let the Netflix license for the show expire on August 31, unless it's going to be another one of those extended negotiations periods were the removal date keeps getting bumped back. Considering Disney is pulling out of Netflix by the end of this year, I suspect Hasbro might have plans for their own streaming service and that might be where G5 premieres.

They must of even lost interest in their own show. Im guessing whatever is with g5 is gonna be somehow more important than g4's schedule and removal from netflix.
4928499 Well it's really not a good sign if they're losing interest in their own show, because that just dooms them to repeat the mistakes of previous generations on a different scale.

I believe this is all just wild speculation. G4 MLP is one of their most successful runs, I doubt they've "lost interest".
I think these are just broadcast companies around the world doing their own thing.

Yeah, like fucking America right in the ass.
