I really like that DT has remained good. Now, yes, it was obvious :) I mean, after her beautiful development in Crusaders of the Lost Mark, of course she’s a good pony now :)  
I was a little bit worried thought because that’s not something all shows do properly.  
I’m thinking about Kim Possible: there was that episode in which Kim and Bonnie remained stick together, so Kim had to go to Bonnie’s house, where she met her older sisters, who were two b***es even worse than Bonnie, and we found out Bonnie always acted like a mean girl because of her sisters who always treated her in the same way.  
Even Kim felt sorry for her, as much as we did.  
And in the end of the episode, they even became practically friends.
 
Too bad, in her very next appereance, Bonnie returned to be a bitch to Kim and everyone else, so all the development from that episode has been thrown away.
 
That’s why I was a little worried: I was afraid they’d do the same with DT.  
Luckily, MLP showed again to be an amazing cartoon in which the characters always develop and learn from their experiences :)

We saw them last season in the applewood derby. They just didn’t get any lines.

Me too.

I hope diamond tiara actually plays a role in an episode this season.  
Something that really really should have happened the last season

At least Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon didn’t drop out of school and become juvenile delinquents. That’s how I was gonna headcanon it if I don’t see them for an entire season.

Some day, Diamond Tiara will be allowed to do something besides show up in the background again.
 
My brain is rapidly spiraling the thought out of control into some huge episode where the CMC have to be like Nick Fury in the Avengers, calling upon the talents of all the ponies they’ve helped to save the day.

Yes, but it’s more horse-like for them to stamp their hooves. It’s little things like that that make the show great.

It’s not like they can’t.  

Bonus points for having the foals pound on their desks with their hooves to applaud, instead of trying to clap.

Yay Pip!

I love that Pipsqueak is part of the class.
