Well it’s pretty much a 50/50 coin-toss at this point, so it could go either way.
 
Personally, I’d rather not wallow around in bitter pessimism and hope for the best.  
Even if that mindset completely backfires on me, at least I’ll see it coming this time, and reluctantly accept my fate.

And I figure Silver Spoon would hate dictators more since she actually pays attention in history class :3

@Crystal Neighybánya  
Nothing is wrong with that, I think you’re pretty cool to be honest :o

@soundtea  
If the synopsis for an episode seems interesting to me, I’ll watch it.
 
@Tragiclady  
What’s wrong with me representing Silver Spoon?

I can understand Crystal Neighybánya not liking Starlight Glimmer. She made it very very well known around these parts how she felt about it. She also represents Silver Spoon in my mind, and I can totally deal with that.
 
I happen to like Starlight Glimmer since her magical powers were equal to or better than Twilight’s. It was getting kinda boring having only one character that was good with magic. You know what I mean, spell variety.

@ToskiHero  
What if they go and make a bad situation worse? I’m not terribly optimistic about Glimmer after what happened in the finale.

@Crystal Neighybánya  
What if Season 6 does a much better job handling Glimmer’s reformation than the Season 5 finale ever did?
 
Would you really wanna miss out on that?  
I wouldn’t.

@Crystal Neighybánya  
so you don’t miss important stuff?

@Crystal Neighybánya  
To actually judge on its own merits instead of solely relying on outside factors like being dumb enough to watch episode anylysts when you havent even seen the episode yourself, or your hate for a character so big you immediately skip the episode even if the synopsis seems promising.
 
You set yourself up for failure.

@soundtea  
Is there any particular reason I have to watch every single episode that comes out?

@ToskiHero  
Same here. I’m just curious to see what they do with her.

@Crystal Neighybánya  
She’s still part of some pretty importnant episodes.
 
If we went through your thing with Luna in place, that would mean skipping episodes like Sleepless in Ponyville, Bloom and Gloom, Do Princesses Dream, Luna Eclipsed, and Sweetie Belle Tolls. Quite some important episodes in there.
 
Even if I don’t like a character, i will still watch the episode to see how they’re handled and to actually be in the know. Maybe have a laugh or two.

@ToskiHero  
You know what I think?
 
I think season 6 will clarify that Starlight spent several months learning about friendship with the mane 6 (as shown at the end of season 5) and that’s how come we will skip Cadence’s pregnancy and begin with the birth of Flurry Heart.
 
I bet we wont even see Starlight in the premiere, she could very well have moved back to her village and not be hanging around Ponyville anymore.

@Mrmildock  
I’m still not the biggest fan of her reformation, and I’m eager to know what becomes of Starlight come Season 6.

I was so excited to see glimmer again then I found out it was fake. Please bring her back, I want to see how she’ll be handled.

@soundtea  
How do we know she’s not going to be like Discord and only appear once or twice a season? Hell, even Luna only appears once, maybe twice a season.

@Crystal Neighybánya  
Let me put it this way.
 
How much of the show would you miss if you skipped every single episode where Spike had somewhat of a role?
 
Or in another lesser way, Luna.

@ToskiHero  
If I don’t like a character, why should I watch episodes featuring said character? I’m sure there are people who skip over episodes featuring Discord, for example.

@soundtea  
Alright, fair enough.

You’re all tempting me to be “that guy” and add “drama in the comments” to the tags.

@Crystal Neighybánya  
They’re not asking you to like or accept Glimmer.
 
They’re asking you to not be so goddamn petty by deliberately skipping over episodes just because your most hated character shows her mug in a given episode or two.
 
You’d probably miss out on most of the season as a worst-case scenario.

@Crystal Neighybánya  
Not that, it’s just that the level of sheer hate you have for her is kind of silly.
 
I don’t even hate Radiant Hope or the deer as much as you hate Glimmer.

@Blissey1  
@soundtea  
You two aren’t going to be happy until I like Glimmer as much as you do, aren’t you?

@Crystal Neighybánya  
You’re missing the point by miles.
 
Blissey’s saying that it’s a pretty big sign you hate a character when you skip every episode they have even a minor role in.
 
That isn’t really “deal with her”.

@Blissey1  
So it’s okay for me to skip episodes that feature a character I don’t like except when it isn’t? What kind of sense does that make?
