I still don't' see it ending with HUb being such a new network. It's not going to end one of it's most popular shows.

Odds of a followup show along the lines of New Batman Adventures are good, yes. But I would not be surprised if "Friendship is Magic" is over at its 65th episode. "My Little Pony", though? And its G4 incarnation in particular? It would be odd to see the Hub just shut down their top rated show due to hitting syndication numbers.
Of course, TV networks do odd things at times. But I'm optimistic.

It might not be up to the Hub at all if Hasbro doesn't want to do the show anymore.
I'd rather it be about Rarity and Spike's grandchildren struggling in a new pony world.

Fanfiction you say?

Speaking of spin-offs/sequels, maybe a more adventure-oriented series that takes the cast to the furthest frontiers to discover new lands, creatures, etc.

PonyGAF Politics are very weird.
Xzeon is King of Pones like T.I is King of the South. He just said it and everybody was like OK. Before that the former King The Poster Formally Known as G-Fex (Get that man an Icon or some shit.) accidentally got the title of King and we accepted that too. The only constant is Hito's constant demand for Human/Anthro Ponies. Which I'm very OK with because PonyGAF is alive because of this demand. And now the 2 Kings vie for the title. I just wanna go back to Wild West PonyGAF where we kicked ass, took names and posted shit as close to Rule 34 as possible without getting banned. I miss that. A lot. A whole lot.
So question is, who's the True King of Pones?

I dunno
But I am the artist formally known as G-fex
Also I saw the episode with flim flam twins.
LOL AJ is probably the best, she didn't learn ANYTHING!
Exactly, I only see 1 sock of each, meaning you have to buy two sets in order to have matching pairs.
I'm assuming that's just a spread showing all of the different socks they have.

50 Shades of Neigh
I said hopefully with less sex.
My comparison with 50 Shades of Grey comes from the fact that both are fanfiction.
Btw, whoever wrote this isn't making any kind of money, right? Cause Hasbro and Bethesda could be up their ass pretty quickly.
EDIT: I swear to God, if I just gave the idea to someone to do a version of 50 Shades with ponies, people will die.

52 episodes (S1+S2) was already a syndication package. A TV station can buy it and slip it on one day a week (probably a weekend) and leave it there for a year.
65 episodes (S1+S2+S3) is a better syndication package, because they can put it on five days a week for one season.
There's really nothing saying that a show has to end at 52 or 65. Or that it needs to be "retooled" into something else at that point either. When a show gets canned or retooled at 52 or 65, it generally means that the show was having problems, and that whoever was supporting the show cut them some slack and gave them time to complete the bundle. Maybe if they're failing, they can also use the extra slack to prove that their formula works.
MLP:FIM is not in trouble. Statements from executives have suggested that their biggest concern is trying not to rock the boat. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
GI Joe (A Real American Hero) for example hit 65 episodes after it's first season (if you combine the two movie-miniseries that got it started). After that it got another 30 episodes for S2 and a theatrical movie. I'm sure they were thinking that another 30 episodes for S3 (plus the movie broken into five chunks) would put together another 65 episode bundle (S3 ended up being 24 eps). But then they decided to retool the show mid-step to try and save money (outsourcing it to DiC instead of Toei) and kind of killed it.
The Hub is losing money. Hasbro is okay with that, because they fully expected it and it's part of their growth strategy. But they want The Hub to grow and get ratings, (and to do it using Hasbro IP so that the shows pull double-duty as advertisement and the toy sales go up). The Hub can't do that if Hasbro blocks them from using their best IP.
If MLP:FIM does well in the syndication market, MLP:FIM could theoretically outlast The Hub.
I'm not willing to believe that there will be a fourth season just yet. But the talk of a condensed third season has been circulating for quite a while already, so I've been prepared. I suppose it will be time soon to head to the Bronystate theatre for the flooded rooms! Awesome.
Oh, and since the Flim-Flam brothers episode was mentioned. The most memorable song for me in Season 2, except for the Pet song, but for me that was mostly because of the novelty of only involving Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.
