At first, i was kinda skeptical of the Cutiemark Crusaders. I felt like their childish antics was a little much for me. But after a few episodes, i wanted to know what cutiemarks they'd end up with I think that the writers have done a pretty good job of keeping the CMC involved with the audience without putting them in your face too often. If Angie Cakes above me is right, and there are going to be eight more episodes, i hope they space them out at least two episodes apart, if not more. i think it'd be good to extend into the third season Another thing we need to keep in mind is that even after they all get their cutiemarks (probably at separate times), they most likely wont give the individual ponies the boot. I wouldn't be surprised if every now and then, they'd throw in an episode about Scootaloo or Sweetie Bell.
