I will take some of that hate, because I have to agree with you. I really liked Dragonshy, because I felt like I was seeing more to her character than just "Sweet, Shy, Likes Critters," but the more I see of her, the more I'm afraid that's all there is to see. I may still be surprised--I haven't watched a lot of the middle episodes yet, though I've seen all the Season 2 episodes since Lesson Zero. (Our cable plan doesn't actually include the Hub, so while I watched the very first episodes back when they aired, I kind of drifted away from the show until we had a free preview in November.) I'd been watching all the episodes in order to catch up, but I watched half of The Stare Master and kind of...wandered away. Part of that is the CMC, who kind of exhaust me, but a bigger part of my disinterest was having to suffer through them riding roughshod (ha, that idiom has never been more appropriate) over Fluttershy, and knowing that she would have to use her "staaaare" or whatever to get the upper hoof again. I should just get over it and watch that one and Show Stoppers already. I want to get to the Gala.
