Today's Upload... · 2:54pm Last Monday
I know I said I'd be doing only original timeline episodes today, but there are two things to note. The first, is that I miscounted on two fronts: Not only is Season 3 actually thirteen episodes long, but all the other seasons are 26 episodes long. So, if I'm going to bring Season 3 up to the standard of 26 episodes, then I am going to have to veto my original decision with this Monday update. The second thing is that I couldn't help but notice that "Wonderbolt Acadamy" is a season 3 episode. This really doesn't make sense to me. While Twilight isn't an alicorn yet in said episode, I actually think the weight of what Lightning Dust's recklessness can cause would work better if Twilight actually was an alicorn by the time the episode took place. So, on that note, I've decided to swap it out for the season 4 episode "Flight to the Finish" which will be covered as part of Friday's update. "Wonderbolt Acadamy" will still happen, I will just be reworking it into a Season 4 episode. Plus, "Flight to the Finish" doesn't even feature Twilight Sparkle at all, so formatting it into a season 3 episode will have little consequence even if I'm going to AU it. There is one episode I am going to have to completely replace in Season 3 and that episode is "Sleepless in Ponyville". Thankfully, I was planning on turning "Magical Mystery Cure" into a full two-parter anyways, so this will make things work out perfectly. I get the main reason they didn't make Magical Mystery Cure into a two parter when season 2 both started with and ended with a two parter, and based on the original plot, I can understand why Magical Mystery Cure didn't get turned into a two parter. However, with my plans, I can easily make Magical Mystery Cure into a two parter AND have it make sense as to why.
...Okay on second thought, it probably won't make sense at all as to why. Be ready for my most nutty & no doubt most controversal take yet for what I've got in store for that.
