    How is fall weather friends falling two episodes after winter wrap up?
    That would make the timeline winter changing to spring > cutiemark crusaders join forces(about a week or two) > and all of a sudden it's fall again?

    Was there a reason for this?

    I noticed this as well. I assume that the seasons are slightly different in Equestria.

    Either that or the writers didn't think about this. Ignore that, that's a stupid idea.

    Maybe Celestia and Luna had a bet. Celestia bet Luna that she could change the seasons without anypony noticing. She won the bet.

    That is the best theory I have heard yet.

    I was hoping it was something like a hiatus for half a season that I didn't know about cause' I'm watching after the original airing.... Oh well, no weather on the moon. :)

    I have the best theory for everything we notice wrong in Equestria...
    Derpy got kicked, so Celestia raged and said.
    " Yeah.... I'm gonna get revange and mess around until Derpy returns..."

    well, same way baby cakes were born, and few minutes later, they were already month old.
    let's just say there's bigger time gap between those episodes.

    They weren't a couple months old... they're ponies. Horses can walk after a couple hours. ;)

    I have 2 fan fics the crossover and follow the time line from season 1 to season 2. This crap causes me nothing but issues. I have no idea the time gap between stuff. Like the gala and Discord. I just assume a year.

    How about the time it took to make episode 26 to episode 1 of season 2? :smile:

    That's what I said. From the Gala to Discord. I guess a year and if not, it's a year to me.

    I think someone needs to divide the episodes up between the four seasons, then we might have a better idea. However, it might be hard to determine which episodes are spring, and which are suppose to take place during the summer.

    Well episode 1 is the summer sun celebration and episode 11 is winter wrap up. So 6 months pass in that gap I guess.

    My biggest concerns for my fics are the gala, NNM, winter wrap up and Discord.

    Just because a week passes between the airing of each episode doesn't mean only a week passes in the timeline of each episode.

    That's how i see it anyway.

    In fact, i like to think some S2 episodes actually happen before some S1 episodes. Like the Nightmare Night episode. I think that happens shortly after the S1 pilot episodes. (since Luna didn't know anything about modern life yet)

    If that's the case, I'll never get this to work out. Dumb pony timeline issues.

    On the contrary. Things are much more fun if you can piece them together yourself. I've been a member of a Legend of Zelda community. Half of that website's efforts went to figuring out each game's place in the timeline. XD

    I think MLP is pretty much the same.
