Kendrick Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 A lot of shows in prime time have gone to a 2- 1/2 seasons format. (a block of new episodes with a large gap in the middle filled with a second act to end the season) Maybe they are doing this. It would be a no lose plan. Make a full season if the fan base stays rabid. Scale production values et. all back if things start to drop off. Spread the cost out over the season instead of banking it all up front.It also allows them to respond faster to fan elements. See how we react to elements in the first half of the season and then put in more of what worked, dump what didn't in the 2nd half. Add in cameos of the BG ponies that everypony likes. Ability to make things more "topical."Maybe this is a good plan and not the end of days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, the expectations for season 3 are pretty high, they're not going to want to put all their eggs in one basket, so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
