• Confirmed Gap Between Discord arc and Episode 3

    by

    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!

      This IS what happened with the first season, if you remember. I was actually expecting this and saw it in the schedule as well.

      @AnonymooseThe absurd, hopeless optimist in me imagines them saying, "Hey, sorry guys, but we're behind a few weeks because we put together these really awesome behind-the-scenes specials for the upcoming Season One Blu-Ray collection."

      Yeah, I can dream, right?

      @Lite Sparkle

      Return of Harmony Part 2 is showing THIS WEEKEND. Next Weekend, they are re-showing Return of Harmony Part 1 instead of the expected 3rd Episode of Season 2. We don't know when the 3rd Episode is going to air, the prediction is October 15th. We need to wait for further details before we know what is going on.

      That's episode 2, this is saying there will be a gap after episode 2, before episode 3.

      @Alex

      And this my good sir is why I don't comment on anything these days. Whenever I get the Fluttercourage to fucking say anything I get reminded why I prefer doing this as Anonymous so I don't have to keep my name in check regarding my opinion, so thanks for that guise (Not suggesting the reintroduction of anon commenting btw). I'll remember not to voice my mind next time kk? I doubt I even have to skim the comments of this post to find nubcakes voicing the opinion of how blah blah blah fuck hasbro blah blah blah whatever... It's great that I must be considered under that same category of an over obsessed fanboy who only cares about watching ponies for some strange reason. Whatever.

      Just throwing this out there, I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't like being told lies. Perhaps that's just me.

      As I mentioned in one of my other posts, I'm pretty sure we were ready to wait until, what, DECEMBER or some bullshit for ponies? As 'outrageous' of an airdate that would have been (Fanfiction would keep ME going so whether or not it's outrageous is up to YOU), it's what we were prepared for, and we would just have to deal with it. However by stating that Season 2 is starting in SEPTEMBER -- We all reset the bar... Too bad they seem to be failing to deliver; are they not?

      All I'm saying is that if they weren't ready to release the ponies then they should have waited until that time before doing such. Nothing more. Between the original post and all the comments I don't really know what the fuck is going on, nor do I care to waste my time figuring it out. A two week break? Wure, shynot. But over a month? Well, -- wait... I'm not supposed to care about it. Infact, I'm supposed to be grateful and worship Hasbro for just letting us have this glimpse into season 2. Yeah, whatever...

      I'm more raeg at wasting my time responding to these comments than the actual subject matter at hand - which I'm barely raeg at in the first place to be perfectly honest.

      Now I think I'm going to pull off a Twilight Sparkle and hide in my equivalent of a Tree Library until I feel I can't keep my comments of how fucked up the rest of the world is to myself. Also, remind me that if I ever create a fanfic, to never release it to the public.

      ---

      On the topic of fail nubcake comments though, I lol at how no one realized what the hell the OP is talking about @ break between episode 2 and 3, not 1 and 2. HERPDERP. Might want to change the OP to reflect that even though more than enough posts have already suggested doing just that with no change. whatever lololololl raegquit.

      Your initial response was immature and deserved belittlement. Your latest comment is more justified. That said, nobody knows entirely what is happening now, so freaking out and feeling like Hasbro's bitch-slapped you personally in the face is in no way productive. You can be sure that if there is a delay on the episodes, it's not because Hasbro or The Hub have decided, "You know what? We hate the pony fans and want to spite them."

      There will be a reason for the delay. Perhaps they are obliged by contract not to air them until a certain date? You feel let down because you want more episodes now. Perhaps a more positive outlook that will give you comfort will be that when the episodes do eventually air, they will last longer than if they aired ASAP. Prolonging the experience will be good in the long-run.

      Seems to be lots of confusion, even... -discord- amongst us *sorry had to do it >>*

      Return of Harmony is on schedule, and it seems that after that is delayed. Since the original airing of season two was supposed to be later in the fall anyway, it makes sense that the early release is offset by a delay to get things back on track.

      I'd be a little suprised if those that knew what was going on with the delay didn't make some sort of statement on why it's being delayed, and very suprised if such a statement were made but brony's failed to find it. Brony's are -good- when it comes to finding little details.

      We'll just have to trust that the delay is with the right intentions, and ultimately is the best thing for the show. What's the purpose of love and tolerancee without, I rhetorically ask you fellow bronies, if we can't turn that back inwards to our wellfount as well, when it doesn't meet every whim of ours?

      We'll make it through this, simple as that.

      Keep your eyes open for an official statement or something, anything that'll help clear the confusion and give us some concrete facts to console our more distressed bronies.

      For the record, the series has had week gaps before. There was a 12 day gap between Mare in the Moon and Elements of Harmony (Otherwise known as Friendship is Magic Parts 1 and 2). A 2 Week Gap Between Winter Wrap Up and Call of the Cutie, Then a 3 Week Gap between Call of the Cutie and Fall Weather Friends. Then a 1 Week Gap between Over a Barrel and A Bird in the Hoof.

      And as said, wait for a specific statement.

      Before any more ponies post to the general sentiment of "What's going on?" please read over the comments already here.

      Season 2, episode 2 is to airing on time.

      Season 2, episode 3 is to be delayed for an uncertain amount of time, with general pony consensus being a delay of 2 weeks to a month.

      To that effect, the TV's will be repeating episodes in the meantime, until the further episodes are released.

      @StarGater93

      Children are usually off doing other things instead of staring at a computer screen waiting for more episodes of a show, or watching a different show in the meantime if they're not the outdoors type.

      Hasbro is toy company that aims at children first and foremost, why is this so hard to understand. I doubt they're thinking to themselves "Gee, how can we make StarGater93's day worse? I know lets take Episode 3 of Season 2 and push a month later."

      I'm still seeing it as they pushed the first two episodes early, and you have to understand that there's so many variables that could lead to holding off on airing an episode on schedule. Remember, they're only human just like us.

      You can continue to be immature and inform the internet of your anger at an episode of a children's cartoon not airing when you'd like though it to though, but I'm going to do something more productive.

      If you aren't re-watching every episode at LEAST three or four times anyway then you aren't a real fan. *AHEM*

      Really, this was exactly what I've been saying would happen. I mean hell, they're still working on some episodes, and if the process is as hectic as we've all heard it was on season 1, then they could be working on as many as EVERY episode at the same time. Getting them all out in order on schedule is the least of my concerns, I'd rather they took their time and focused on putting out the quality work we've grown to love and expect from MLP.And the longer it takes for all episodes of season 2 to be get aired, the more time we'll have before it's over and are left waiting for season 3.

      Can't say I'm honestly surprised. Considering these episodes were originally animated towards the end of season one. That and Season 1 started around October. For everyone spazzing calm down. There's plenty to do before that date. And Alex does have a point people need to stop crying when they don't get their way all the time. It's only a few weeks not months you will all survive.

      Hm. I did think it was odd that it has only been 3 months since the first season ended.

      At first I thought this meant episode 2 was delayed xD

      A bit disappointing, but understandable, I suppose.

      Not sure how you can even get a schedule that's two weeks ahead. For Dish Network, it's a max of 8 days ahead, and quite often faulty. I certainly wouldn't give up hope yet! ;)
      Pretty good chance that it's a flaw in the schedule with whatever network provider you have. If not, well, we should all be willing to wait. Quality over quantity!

      To the people 'schooling' those that are 'over reacting'- I think someone pointed this out, but seriously, it's the internet, hyperbole much? Stop acting like prim chaperones, acting like a baby on the internet is one thing, but acting like you have the right to correct everyone is another, and it comes across as creepy and annoying, stop it, go be a mall security guard if you want to yell at harmless stuff.

      To be honest, I'm a little confused with how they are working the seasons. Generally most shows have their stuff together before the seasons come out. It's seems as if HUB or hasbro has their hands in too many pots, I think pound puppies is also facing troubles.

      I really wish they would take their adult fans seriously, considering I think we outnumber the younger fans (especially since the show comes on at like 6 or 7 in the morning... damn).

      Perhaps they don't even care too much about the show, since they are a TOY company first anyways.

      @monkeyshine89 When people are acting like it's the end of the world I do think they're justified in saying calm down and think for a moment but correcting people on the internet considered creepy that's new...

      But Like I said earlier this is probably due to these two episodes being completed last year along with the season 1 episodes as it was stated many times over. And considering that season one originally aired in October this shouldn't be a surprise if people did some thinking about.

      Plus, since episodes air on Saturday, maybe the Sunday listing showed in the pic is just a re-run or Part 1 after the airing of Part 2, maybe for those who missed it before? Part of me is still skeptical. Can't rule out clever trolling yet.
