Confirmed Gap Between Discord arc and Episode 3


Looks like Sibsy was right- there is going to be a gap between this two-parter with Discord and the rest of season two. How big of a gap is uncertain at this point, but if we survived the entire summer without new pony, I'm sure we can manage a month or two with only this so-far fabulous two-parter to hold us over.

/knock on wood

Thanks to Micheal for the heads up!

D'oh.

Ponycountdown.com needs to be reset after next weekend.

Bombedrumbum said...

Woah, didnt see that coming

Opoch said...

Fudge. I'm already emotionally unstable enough after that last comic, and now this?

Churro said...

This means we have to wait even longer to hear the updated theme song, doesn't it? Oh well, I survived the summer, I can survive this too.

Radimir said...

It's hard to type on a keyboard that's slowly melting from the sheer volcanic rage emenating from my body.

Shit, I forgot that first season was like this too. :(
Please dont be more than a month.

Wolfgang said...

Discord pushed back Season 2. He knew the chaos he'd create from something so small.

Sigil said...

By Unicron's fatfolds! I was not expecting that. Oh well I made it this far I can wait a while longer.

Ovy said...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Carrin said...

Oh wow XD

So it pretty much was a "special" huh.

VioletYoshi said...

I still say I won't watch pt one again, without pt 2. Part one was just too freaking sad!

Samuel7897 said...

Noooooooo, I am now sad :(

Nyx said...

Cereal, you best be trolling.

Bombedrumbum said...

Well, look on the bright side. We get an amazing two-parter to kick-off the season and last us until the next episodes come. We survived the gap between season one and two, and we can survive this!

ajc said...

Wait so we don't know when the next episode is coming? Or there is going to be episodes in between the second part of episode 1?

¡¡¡Hijueputa mierda de la gran puta verga y la maldita porqueria!!!

... I thought the waiting was over...

EonMaster said...

Spike: "Noooooooo!"

Now I have to wait even longer to see if I'll like the season 2 theme song. Season 1's was good except for the intro, I never liked the old MLP song.

Joey said...

I wonder how long the gap will be? The waaaaaaiting is the hardest part.


Wonder what that new theme will sound like. I never had a problem with the old one myself

CharginChuck said...

Hasbro, you filthy, filthy tease!

....oookay...deep breaths.

...love and tolerate...love and tolerate....

Naezo said...

It's quite possible that it just isn't listed yet. wait at least until Sunday to be sure, I say.

DJB123 said...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Not a very original response but by far the most natural.

Cheezymadman said...

I don't see it. What part of the image confirms that?

Sketchonion said...

The break is likely only for 2 or 2 weeks.

joetraincool said...

-_-* I should have expected as much. Oh well, we'll survive, but it's still an inconvenience.

Ace2401 said...

@Naezo

If it's not listed, that means it's not coming on. Part 1 of the The Return of Harmony is in the weekly timeslot. As the one who took the picture, I can tell you that I can see a set in stone TV schedule up to 12-13 days ahead on my DVR. I'm betting that Part two will re-run the next week after that as well.
:(

If you guys want me too, I'll be sure to keep track of it. I'm hoping to catch the scoop on Ep 3 anyway.

Vanishing said...

I figured that would happen, but I don't see it being over 2-3 weeks.

wackyteen said...

at least we don't have to wait for episode 2.

I've already seen Episode 1 a total of 14 times.

Now, I'm sad. I should've just not got back on. =( So much for stable sleep.

CharginChuck said...

This song is just playing over and over again in my head now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMyCa35_mOg&ob=av2e

Naezo said...

@Ace2401

Ahh, I see. I have DirecTV and I haven't ever figured out the timing. It took some time for Part 2 to show up, so I wasn't sure.

Thank you for clearing that up.

Ryan said...

Hold on, are you certain this is correct Cereal Velocity? I'm not very sure what are the circumstances are for this situation...and Sibsy said something about it? Like you mean the 2nd part of this is further away?

gato said...

Saw this coming.

We had those gaps in season 1 too.

[/talking like if I didn't join the bronydom in July]

wackyteen said...

@Ryan

It merely means we won't get a new episode on October 1st or mybe October 8th.

Or the 15th... or the 22nd.... *paranoia takes over*

Unless they start airing on Friday nights, then >=(

Flutterfan said...

Bronies: You said never said anything about a gap between episode 2 and 3!

Hub: I am altering the schedule. Pray I don't alter it any further.

Aesahaettr- said...

WTFBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Yes, that meme played in my head. NOT COOL, HASBRO. Or the Hub. EITHER WAY! UGH!

Mkay we survived the great pony draught of 2011. We can survive without more new pony episodes for 2-3 weeks, right? Right? *eep*

Octavia said...

Yup. I'm sure everypony will surivive a little while in between. Maybe it'll build even more suspense. :P On the bright said, got this fun two-parter still much earlier than most originally thought. :)

Pixel Coder said...

So what exactly is this image saying? I'm confused...

Oh, that the week after episode 2, they're showing episode 1 again. I think I see it now.

Takon said...

Ahem~

Hax Mega said...

It is airing guys. I just checked my DTV Unit. I'll upload a picture here in a few minutes.

Ace2401 said...

@Pixel Coder

Yep, that's what it's showing. Maybe I should have circled the date in GIMP just to make it more clear. :/

Fair enough, maybe this is how they are allowed to slowly change five of the mane 6 back to normal without doing something like "they all magically got better and Discord was dealt with in 22 minutes."

.... Wheres my jackhammer?

Ace2401 said...

@Takon

Look at the header and the date, my friend. This is for the week after Ep2 airs.

AJ_627 said...

So far i heard from brony broadcast that it was only going to be a week. there still animating season 2 and i wouldn't be surprised if they took another brake in the middle of season 2

Will said...

According to my listings, everything's supposed to be airing properly.. Part 2 is set to air the 24th, right on time. I am confus.

MaverickStarT51 said...

The only coherent thought I have right now is "why Celestia WHY?!" I was so happy because the wait was over and now this? *sigh* Right now I'm a REALLY sad pony :(

Sketchonion said...

For people misreading things. Episode 2 is airing as scheduled. The delay is for episode 3 and on. There is likely going to be a couple weeks between episode 2 and 3.

DJ Kat said...

God, why was I freaking out about part 2 being delayed? Ponies have taken over my life O_O

Hax Mega said...

Ace2401 said...

@Will

Episode 2 is airing on the 24th, this is showing that episode 3 is NOT airing the next week after that. Check the date; October 1st.

wackyteen said...

/facehoof at the misunderstanding going on here.

Ace2401 said...

@Hax Mega

This post is concerning Episode THREE.

Mason said...

the break shouldnt be too long. im guessing 3-5 weeks.

Profesor Rod said...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

How am I supposed to write my on character shipping fic between Pinkie and Discord!? (I'm being serious guys!)

Eternal Chaos! Discord trolled us hard! GAME OVER PONIES!

D'|

Zamoonda said...

Part 2 isn't delayed. Episode 3 is delayed.

wackyteen said...

@Mason,

you guess A MONTH? D=

Hax Mega said...

*Facehoof* Panicked reading for the lose...

Joey said...

@Flutterfan

Lol

Bronies: There is Good in you Program Directors, I can feel it.


Hasbro: It is...to late for me, my viewers.

Ace2401 said...

lol @ me correcting everyone who'd misunderstanding XD

wackyteen said...

Ace, I think a dissertation on the image would've done little good....

Ryan said...

Morthgarrow said...

I'm guessing 2 weeks, maybe three before episode 3 airs. A month or longer just doesn't seem logical for the Hub to do; leaving that big a gap after the premiere of the 2nd season would be quite odd.

Joey said...

Alright Alright, Lots of confusion here.

Everypony deep breaths, find your center, everypony good? Cool.

Now lets all calm down and..

PANIC! PANIC! DOOM AND DESTRUCTION! MICHAEL BAY IS ON THE RAMPAGE! EVERYPONY FOR THEMSELVES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

AH said...

Well, let's just watch the hub schedule closely for the time being. TV schedules are subject to change.

Ace2401 said...

@wackyteen

Yeah...

Too bad I'm sick and so didn't think to do that. :/

Unless you mean it wouldn't have helped much, in which case, oh well.

Ryan said...

@wackyteen
Ah. I feel like Cereal Velocity should've worded slightly more better, or more clearly, or that I read that thing too quickly. In addition, Cereal should've checked how long it would've actually lasted.

Look on the bright side, I suppose we'll have a bit more preparation, and time with our fan material. We'll survive...the last time there was a gap was actually April Fools' week when Friday was a repeat episode.

Still, it was somewhat unexpected.

ToonNinja said...

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU—

Ace2401 said...

@Ryan

At this point, there is zero indication on when the show will resume, so all we can do is keep an eye on the schedule.

wackyteen said...

i doubt it would've done any good.

I immediately thought no episode 2 till Oct.1st then I figured out what gap between Discord and rest of season 2 meant.

The Lotus Tea Dragon said...

I can survive. All I have to do is watch every episode of season one, one a day, and then watch the Season 2 premiere, until episode 3 is ready. I can do it, I can do it... I can do it... I can do it... baby steps!

Qwefforitus said...

Patience is a virtue, I clearly see most of you do not have. Come on guys. We're better than this.

Flashback said...

I think this is one of the very few posts were a low rating is almost assured...

wackyteen said...

Patience? Who needs patience? I'm so impatient I make Dash look patient.

/tired sarcasm.

BagOfChips said...

Uh, I dunno about you guys, but my TV doesn't tell me what's on more than week from now.

Why are we panicing over this, again?

Nantang'Itan said...

Confound it, I know the new episodes are going to start smack in the middle of my exams. I can see it coming.

karrotline said...

we waited too long for this poop to start again >:0

Kisuke said...

Oh come on. We waited all summer and now we gotta wait again? What the hell man... what the hell...

BlackWidower said...

...Now that sucks. My only question is why!? Why go on a hiatus so soon after the premiere!?

Meep said...

Looks like Discord had a backup plan after his (possible) defeat to Uber troll us to the 4th wall kind.

I always knew there was a hidden diabolical meaning behind his Discord Shuffle...

Verbose said...

The bright side:
More time for Discord fanfiction and art (and we can focus on whatever is in store for episode two...like those clips of Discorded Rainbow Dash being lassoed...

No need for panic. I feel like that was a Tenchi Universe episode title...

Bibo said...

The Hub: We have altered the schedule, pray we do not alter it again.

Maybe you guys aren't looking at this at the right angle, what if they aired the first two episodes a week ahead of schedule?

Ace2401 said...

@BagOfChips

My TV does. :3

This is the pretty much set in stone TV schedule. I've never seen it lead me wrong when showing when stuff is going to come on. Sorry.

Jocuro said...

I vow to keep my background picture as the "to be continued" sign until the second part comes out. No matter how long it takes. It's torture, but I can do it.

Confound these ponies.

Roo said...

the wait is discord trolling .. everypony chill we waited all summer.. we can wait a few days longer for our beloved pastel colored ponys

ultra8 said...

Guess I wasn't the only one to check ahead on the schedule.
Well atleast it's not like back in season1 when we had to wait to weeks to see part2. At best we'll just have to wait maybe 2 weeks before getting eps 3 and the new theme.

Tequila Sunrise said...

@Bibo
Always look on the bright side of life?

If true, this sucks, but I'll survive. If anyone needs me, I'll just be over there mainlining season 1 (again).

marioandsonic said...

FALSE

FALSE

IT'S FALSE

Ace2401 said...

@Jocuro

Part 2 is coming out the 24th, this post is about episode 3.

Tequila Sunrise said...

@marioandsonic
As others have said, the purported gap is between E2 and E3, not E1 and E2.

Bibo said...

@Tequila Sunrise

Yep, I find it less stressful and enjoyable that way.

Flutterfan said...

Why couldn't they have just squeezed in episode 3 before the break? I mean I'd just like one non-two parter episode to analyze.

Takata said...

Darn.

Well it makes new pony episodes more of a privledge to wait for! Season one will keep me occupied!

Mass Writer said...

They wouldn't do that to us, would they? I mean the season just started. I kind of thought they would do this about half way through the season, not after the second episode. I'm sad now. :(

Bibo said...

I will use my 1337 h4X0rz skillz to hack into Hasbro's servers and get the episodes. :P

Brony Montana said...

Oh... I was going to freak out because I thought they were saying we'd have to wait a month or two until the conclusion of Return of Harmony. I feel a little better knowing we'll still get to see Part 2 on Saturday. But I'm still a bit annoyed about having to wait so long for the rest of Season 2.

Bibo said...

@Mass Writer

The show is targeted towards young girls...remember?

Puzzle Plate said...

Dude my DVR says its on like Donkey Kong This Saturday...

marioandsonic said...

Guess we'll have to wait longer for the new opening theme...

DVA4695 said...

well this is a Bummer but I can wait too besides there is other Pony Related things to do such as fiddle with a Sound board

marioandsonic said...

Oh, and Cereal, maybe you should change the title a bit to avoid further confusion.

Make it something like: "Confirmed Gap Between Episode 2 and Episode 3".

Ace2401 said...

@Puzzle Plate

This post is about episode 3, not episode 2. Episode 2 is scheduled to air on the 24th, but nothing new is scheduled on Oct. 1st.

Ace2401 said...

@marioandsonic

Yeah, that's more or less what I put as the subject of the email I sent Seth, dunno why they changed it.

DVA4695 said...

perhaps it could air one week after the 1st just a theory.

Ace2401 said...

@DVA4695
That's not out of the question, and I'll be sure to keep my eye on that.

mycutiemarkisagun said...

My Fellow Bronies, I encourage you all to respond to this outrage by committing acts of terrorism. Perhaps if someone hijacks a big enough airliner, they can use the hostages to negotiate moving the date up.

note to NSA: this is a joke, please don't send a tactical team to my house

Stormy Brave said...

Ah crap.

Wait. Wasn't there news/rumor that the season would continue sometime in [mid-?]October or something?

Blue Cord Dragoon said...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot over

InfinityDash said...

I'm disappointed but honestly not really surprised. I mean September 17 is pretty early considering all the rumors before had been pointed towards a October/November start date.

SinorKirby said...

This is a total lie, and is completely not true. The listings for The HUB on Saturday the 24th at 6AM PST(GMT-8) and 6:30AM PST(GMT-8) are both set to "The Return of Harmony: Part 2" and feature a summary of the episode.

Proof: http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll298/Zephyr_Shadowbane/Untitled.jpg

Bibo said...

Guys look at it this way...people of different languages are still on Season 1, we're winning.

TheDreamMaster said...

This is gonna be a long wait again

Atiarotias said...

@mycutiemarkisagun
owww, be careful. They can Clean you off for "dangerous thoughts" or something...
after all, they know where you live!

Mr. Belfast said...

The drought was 19 weeks. We can handle ANY wait they throw at us.

Bibo said...

@SinorKirby

Its been said a billion times that the gap is between episode 2 and 3.

SinorKirby said...

Scratch that-

Apparently this is saying that after the two-part premiere there's a gap.

My bad.

Brian said...

@SinorKirby

Except we're not talking about the 24th, we're talking about the 1st

StarGater93 said...

Long post short, I do NOT expect the release consistency of freaking fanfiction updates from the material the fics are based upon.

--MINIATURE-WALLOFTEXT_ACTIVATE--

If they take more than 2 weeks with airing episode 3 then they failed at realizing that pulling off a retarded stunt like this only pisses us off. Before we were told EXACTLY when season 2 was starting, we were prepared to wait until December or some nonsense for our ponies to return. Giving us a date for an entire freaking season and only delivering 2 episodes is a real dick move.

This makes me want to skip season 3's premier next year, which means I'll have to leave EQD for over a month to get away from the spoilers... Having 100 entries in my RSS reader from less than a week worth of activity was more than I wish to handle, let alone a month's worth of FUTURE EQD (40 million views? try 40 billion.)

Mass Writer said...

@Bibo
Yes, I know. Just kind of hits be as a surprise is all.

Ace2401 said...

@SinorKirby

Look again, this post is concering episode 3, not episode 2. Episode 2 is airing on the 24th, but nothing new is airing the week after.

And this comment is probably gonna be ninja'd XD

Meep said...

@Bibo

Winning has never before been so bitter sweet...

It truly is lonely at the top.

*Looks around at all the other sad bronies at the top

Make that a vast collective of single minded loneliness...

Bibo said...

@StarGater93

This show is for little girls. Children in accordance to Educational and Informational standards.

Why are people forgetting this??

Renaguard said...

I can wait, I'm still waiting for Half-Life 2: Episode 3!

mycutiemarkisagun said...

@SinorKirby

SILENCE! Slaughtering innocents is the only way our cause can be won!

Heartmend said...

Episode 2 will be airing on September 24th.

The whole point of this article, however, is that EPISODE 3 is NOT airing on October 1st. No one knows when it will air, but I suspect no later than October 17th. (That's the date I thought Season 2 was going to start in the first place, actually.)

Delicate Flame said...

That is.... disturbing news =/

Oh well, as long as we get episode two this weekend I'm happy =)

Heartmend said...

Sorry, October 15th. :)

lesserpoet said...

@Flutterfan

As horrible as this wait will be, comments like this will make it... THE BEST WAIT EVER!

Shining_KoW210 said...

Everypony hold on a moment, does this mean we're not going to see episode two at BroNYCon?

WhiteDiamonds said...

Now really that is rather rude, making us wait even longer after teasing us with (thus far) epical season 2 delights! Hrmph...

Well what can one do I suppose...

Idle Drifter said...

This is why I live by the 96 hour rule. The second anything goes down rumor control is a must. Not mention not reading things too quickly. So we wait. It sucks but we wait.

Heartmend said...

@Shining_KoW210

Episode 2 is airing on September 24th.

No one knows when Episode 3 will be airing.

Mass Writer said...

Maybe we should wait and see. The listing could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time a tv guide messed with me. Then again it could be true and I'm just giving my self false hope.

Geldon Yetichsky said...

I'm crossing my fingers it'll just be one week.

From the looks of it, they're airing episodes 1 and 2 back to back the week after this, so that's sort of cool and of itself.

Heartmend said...

http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic/episodes-season-2/307115

Ace2401 said...

@Geldon Yetichsky

No, it's just episode one. :/

Renaguard said...

Listen guys remember back when there was a week gap between ep. 22 and ep. 23 of season 1, well he's my prediction: ep. 3 of Season 2 might air either on the 8th or 15th of October.

Remember the old saying "GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT"

DVA4695 said...

I heard that saying before.

RagingTwilight said...

Why must Trollestia continue to torment us?

TheDreamMaster said...

Yeah, I'd bet it is a 2 week wait, since the first reairing is only episode 1. I hope it is not any longer than that.

RyGuy84 said...

Hehe, wow! Maybe they should have included Patience along with the Elements of Harmony. (Only kidding. Please don't hurt me!)

I'm happy we'll at least get to see the conclusion to the two-parter before there's a break. Leaving that cliffhanger unresolved indefinitely would have been torturous.

In the meantime, fanfic, and lots of it!

TearofFriendship said...

No. No no no no no no no no no.

Mason said...

@wackyteen

At most, a month. could be as little as 2 weeks.

Kapten-N said...

Why are they showing the same episode twice in a row? O_o
That makes no sense!

Ace2401 said...

@Kapten-N

They're not, that's the Saturday after Episode 2 airs.

James Corck said...

Well, that's a dud.

At least we are getting the conclusion to the season premiere, so it's not so bad after all. I see these two episodes as "MLP: FiM The Movie", so for me Season 2 has yet to start.

Bibo said...

@James Corck

Mother of God...

What if...what if Season 2 (and probably 3) does so well that Hasbro decides to make a movie.

Now obviously after the first two episodes of this season they're not going to bring up the Elements of Harmony, so the movie (should be 6 hours long in my professional opinion) would focus entirely on the Elements of Harmony.

Gnollbard said...

BY CELESTIA'S BEARD, HOW CAN THIS BE!?

darkdalmation said...

...I think Celestia and Discord are working together. That's the only explanation for this gap.

Al-Asad said...

EPISODE 3 DELAYED?
WHAT IS IT? GABE NEWELL OWNS HASBRO NOW?

Nalwonk said...

Well, it's the same number of episodes either way, so it's gaps now, or gaps later, I'd rather they space out the episodes during the season than have half a year with nothing.

V da Mighty Taco said...

@Al-Asad You just ninja'd me. I wouldn't be surprised if Valve was somehow behind this, with their hatred of the number 3 and all.

DVA4695 said...

Can everypony please be patient.

Nightmare Moon said...

My timer won't last that long. It barely last a day!

ReadToasts said...

Is the second part 1 hour long? According here http://www.hubworld.com/tv-schedule , 24th September, the 2nd episode takes place at 8am and 8.30am. Or does it mean it they will repeat the same episode twice?

DVA4695 said...

they will repeat the same episode twice

Killsteal_Wolf said...

Curse you Discord! You are discording the entire world with this movement (Someone should do Fanart of that)

Don't worry, I can wait about two weeks I guess. The second part is this Saturday. Then there may be a 2 week gap to repeat it... And it comes back on October 15th. I can wait, I waited all Summer, I can wait a tad longer for the answer.

I say one of us should try contacting Jayson to see if we can get an Answer for Season 2 Episode 3. Then we can all quietly wait and make wonderful fan art before the rest of Season 2 begins.

*Discord brainwashes me to be Impatient*

I have to wait this Saturday? I WANT IT BY TOMORROW!

Ewyndall said...

I think the first two episodes will provide enough material for us to survive a little gap.
I mean, we kinda survived the entire summer season without anything new and the fandom just kept growing and growing and producing more with each passing week.

So no worries. Unless they want to postpone the rest of the season till January, that would hurt. No reason for them doing so though.

namelesspony said...

Deep breath
NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Firleycat said...

At least we get to see how things turn out with Discord. Sure, the wait is going to hurt, but at least we get to see how the 2 parter ends first. That has to be worth something.

Alex said...

How could I have predicted that some people would see this and start whining and bitching? Good God, some of the people commenting seem to think that Hasbro are doing this deliberately to piss them off. The internet is a selfish place, where people get an elevated sense of self-worth.

To my knowledge they gave us the Return of Harmony episodes early as a taster for season 2. I heard that season 2 will be airing properly mid-October. It's hardly that long to wait, really. They gave us the episodes early; you may consider this a mixed blessing, but be grateful that you got any ponies. They could have either aired the Return of Harmony in mid-October and then aired the rest of the episodes every week after, or they could release the Return of Harmony a few weeks before (and, given that the episode was originally intended to be part of season 1 anyway, this isn't that difficult to accept) and give the fans something to tide them over until the season airs properly.

Funnily enough, it's not the end of the world that the episodes are coming a little later.

Omatic said...

Dang, that's disappointing. But as other people have said, patience is important here. I really hope that the older fans can take this news better than the little people this show is primarily targeted at.

I'm sure I"ll have watched the two parter a dozen times or so by the time season 2.1 starts...

Rohit Eligeti said...

3rd episode must be about Luna's and a whole new opening

bronydash said...

Dammit, why do you tease us like this, FiM team?

Mason said...

@Alex

Agreed. People are making too big of a deal about it.

This just means we'll have to watch the two episodes available over and over again till the rest of S2 come out. And I'm not too bothered by that at all.

Little girls, Children, and "Educational and Informational standards" has absolutely NOTHING to do with my post. How does ANY OF THAT apply to WHEN a show is aired?

Are you suggesting that the "Children" wouldn't give a flying fuck about season 2 only being partially aired? As correct as that might be (LOL MOAR PONY RERUNS LOL), I can hardly doubt that they can ignore the brony community (just sayin), or that such a manoeuvre would be WORTH IT to them in the first place (Oh wait, those silly bronies are actually watching our shit lol! time for $$$ lolOLOLOL@@!!! THE CHILDRENS ARNT GOING TO CARES WHEN SEASON 2 IS AIRED BUT THESE GUISE ARE GONNA WATCH EVERY EPISODE LOL LETS FUCK EM UP LOL).

I don't mind waiting for ponies but teasing us with an episode (2 parters are single episodes imo) and then going "HERPDERP SEE YA IN A MONTH" is wrong. Period.

I have waited for over THREE MONTHS for episode 13 of Wakfu's season two to air and be translated. I've also been waiting a month for Homestuck's End of Act flash that has a cliffhanger at a pivotal point in the story.

Waiting for ponies for a couple weeks is child's play in comparison.

You're coming across as the worst kind of pony fan - the overly obsessive fan who sounds like a baby throwing their rattle out of the pram when they don't get their own way.

You have another episode this Saturday coming, and then more maybe a few more weeks wait after that. If you can't emotionally deal with that, then you should probably be attending some sort of therapy for your anger/stress issues.

Good things come to those who wait. Learn some patience, man.

Nah, it's not getting canceled.

Because episodes are still in production (and will be until December), they are giving the studio enough lead time to get several episodes in the can before they air, which should hopefully lead to less breaks later on in the season.

During Season One, there there were at least two breaks during the season. New episodes didn't show for two weeks in a row over Christmas/New Year's, probably to give the hard-working production staff a break to spend time with family and friends over the holidays. There was another break Over a Barrel and a A Bird in the Hoof. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see similar breaks this year, too. :)
