I normally hate these Impact-font image macros, but god DAMN if this isn't the truth.

I don't think this season is worse than the others because of no Derpy, hell this season is just as good as Season 2 (not Season 1, you need more 'Mane6' episodes to be able to catch the same magic we got from that season. Too many solo pony episodes lately). It's just that….well you'd be lying to yourself and everyone if you said you never had fun watching a new episode thinking "Oh shit where's Derpy going to pop up this time?! Is she actually going to speak? Is she going to be named?! WHO FUCKING KNOWS!!!"
