So we got no Dragon Fluttershy or Octavia and Rarity duet. But we did get the return of Trixie and the dream walking Luna.

From the episode list so far, I think the dragon fluttershy rumor may be false, unless its the episode with Spike or the Sleepless in Ponyville one.

Or living in a slum.

I think, for the Trixie return, it’d be cool if the mane 6 went to a big city and saw her performing or something.

Possible return of trixie and Octavia getting a voice!?  

If there is an Octavia/Rarity episode I predict that it will be have Octavia as an upperclass girl who is crude and uncouth, much to the dismay of her parents.  
Rarity is invited to a party by Fancypants, meets said parents and is recruited by them to groom their daughter.
 
Ends with growth on both of their parts.
 
Probably wont be the case but Im still calling it

People need to calm down with the whole “fan pandering” guff.

Sometimes I wonder if the writers even realize how interesting a pair of Solar/Lunar demigods who actually get shit done could be.

Yeah. I imagine Celestia is weak because of a thousand years without sleep, and never having to really fight for real.
 
Possible headcanon get: Celestia hides behind a glamour field, and in reality she is horribly emaciated and can barely stand. The curse of immortality indeed.

Then again, Impious, they have shit to do. Government shit.

*probably right

@Dicks
 
Unfortunately, you’re probably not. Unless the writers invert the whole “Mane 6 save the day” spiel by having them all knocked out of commission, leaving it up to Celestia and Luna to save the day. Because fuck the Worf Effect.

Agreed, Yorec.
 
Maybe she and Trixie can be friends. As far as plot devices go, they’re pretty similar. It’d certainly be an interesting relationship.

@Impious  
Luna will, in all likelihood, be as useful as Celestia: not very.

@RIG  
She does one thing: play. Yet she has all this fan art.  
@Impious  
I can see the logic in that. And yeah, I really do want Applejack to be more than “the supporter” whenever a pony is feeling crummy. Hidden depths, maybe?

*?

I’d like to see Gilda make a comeback. Yeah she was a bitch but she lost her only friend as far as we know. I’d like to see a redemption episode.

what do you mean with “living prop”

Of all the one-time characters though, everyone seems to want to see Trixie again, whether it be a redemption story or a villainous comeback (although she’s far from a villain, just an arrogant bitch). I think deep down, the reason why she’s so popular is because she got such a raw deal. The end of Boast Busters was almost kind of cruel. You’re a lying braggart? You’re going to lose your house.

@gg  
We don’t really need more Trixie and Octavia is a living prop.

Applejack does need to do something. Fluttershy’s pretty static, but at least she gets some great episodes. Applejack does nothing. nothing
 
I also think we should get to see Tartarus. Perhaps too dark for a children’s show, but today’s kids are pretty mature, and we all learn sooner or later that not everywhere in the world is sunshine and rainbows.

@Zombie Trotsky
 
What do you mean by Pandering?

@Imp  
Just remember, whatever happens. Its going to be amazing regardless.

Impious makes valid points.  
And the Fluttershy thing got me thinking about Applejack; should both get character development, more characterization, or one for one and one for the other?

@Impious
 
I agree with more Scootalove. She needs her own episode!!
