Idle Speculation
Well, I've been speculating on S3. I've been presented with some intersting theories about what the opener will be like. One theory goes that we will have an especially cruel or greedy villain. Think a moment: Nightmare Moon was a user of dark magic. Discord's whole existence revolved around laughing- at the pain of others. And Chrysalis' whole strategy hinged on deciet. Perversions of Magic, Laughter, and Honesty, respectively. Coincidence? I think not. Other theories say that the writers will continue to cater towards the older fans- and I hope that this is true. Truth be told, I swear there are more Bronies than there are "orginal target audience" fans.
I've been thinking a lot of late about old characters as well. Where have Trixie, Luna, and others been, when we were promised far more of them than we were given? Maybe they'll come back later. I hope. As grating as Trixie is, she is still a great character to have around. Luna, I just like Luna all around. It would have been fun watching her continue her attempts to adapt to modern society. Can't win 'em all, I suppose. I think they'll return someday.
What of Equestria's military? Will we see more from them? I understand that they still have to cater to younger fans as well, but they could incorporate the REAF, REA, and REN while doing so. There could be a whole episode revolving around Shining Armor's recruit days, for instance. Perhaps they could bring in some new characters who are retired members of the Royal Guard, sent to Ponyville under the premise of their retirement, but who are actually there to keep an eye out for- and lend a hoof with- any sort of trouble. Heck, that could be part of the season opener!
In any case, I run short on time. So, I will return later,
