okay, if this episode is in any way a cliff hanger
i think i'll love them forever JUST for doing that hahaha
though it'll likely be more like Just For Sidekicks and Games Ponies Play, where they had two episodes going on in the same time. Instead, they could literally pick themselves up from the end of the finale and begin a two-part immediately afterward.
(i'm thinking like this: at the very end, they all say something, for example "Friendship is Magic!" hugging together in Twilight's library and it cuts to black. beginning of season four: it begins immediately after the hug or it fades in showing them hugging, then things go forward. that would be so incredibly awesome)
