I didn’t expect an episode where Applejack describes the concept of “total war” to Twilight Sparkle or where Spike quotes fanfiction, and that happened,

There are countless characters that deserve to be revisited (Babs Seed, Diamond Tiara/Silver Spoon, Lightning Dust, Rolling Thunder, Short Fuse, Suri Polomare, the Pillars, Gilda/Gabby/Greta, Coco Pommel, Autumn Blaze, Iron Will, Bright Mac and Pear Butter, Sky Stinger and Vapor Trail, Cheese Sandwich, Daring Do, Ahuizotl, Pharynx, Wind Rider, Gladmane and many others)

They can also show Scorpan, Grogar, Katrina, Zebras, Centaurs, Minotaurs, Abessinia and a whole heap of other things one day.

We still have to see the CMC Manehattan, meet other Zebras, hear more stories about AJs parents and learn more about Trixies past and her father.

Autumn Blaze must meet Pinkie and Maud.

Limestone, Marble and Cheerilee need their special someponies.

Discord could have an adventure with the CMC.

Spike has yet to meet his real parents.

AND I want Rainbow to reconcile with Lightning and start a friendly rivalry with her.

You forgot to add “An episode that’s just a significantly worse take on something the show already did”, “Diversity Six is shoved aside like the other Poochies to make way for new ones”, and “An episode that insults fans for not 100% loving everything while misunderstanding what they say and why”.

Oh, and “One more question we’ve had since S1E1 is answered so unsatisfyingly, we wish we’d never gotten that question answered”.

And “One last lore buggerup is introduced, for old time’s sake”.
