It's Season 5 Part Deux, and season 6, that will be some time in the unknown future.

No, the creators have explicitly said that season 5 will have 26 episodes, thus the episodes following this massive break are still a part of season 5 and not season 6.

I think they're doing it so they could have Christmas themed episode air at Christmastime.

I just had a terrible/genius idea for an episode. We've seen pretty much all of the mane six's parents; Rarity's, Twilight's, Pinkie's, the shooting stars and framed photo for AJ's dead parents, and even Rainbow's dad in a flashback; but we have never heard anything about Fluttershy's parents. There could be a potentially excellent episode revolving around a trip she makes (perhaps with Twilight?) to reconcile with them after her long time away/on the ground, if, for example, they turn out to be utter assholes/snobs that totally ignored their daughter, leaving her alone as an only child and shipping her off to flight camp, which could explain her shyness, reliance on animals for companionship, and poor flying (no one to show her how as a filly).

Hmm... sounds like a variant on "Amending Fences", only with family and more real guilt.

Word on the street though is that Fluttershy's getting a brother in an upcoming episode.

So that is the Brotherhooves Social? Not sure, but it could be easily about Shining Armor or Big Mac.

Well, perhaps they get forced into togetherness by some event, rather than a voluntary reconciliation. In any case, it would be more that Fluttershy naturally starts apologizing to her parents for things that are entirely their fault, but Twilight manages to get her to assert herself enough to confront them on their general shittiness.

I like it because MLP has yet to show any sort of dysfunctional family yet.
