Welcome to the herd!! I am a Pegasister (that's what female fans are called but Brony has become more well known a word).

Never was a fan of the G1 series but I just can't get enough of FIM (which is G4). Can't wait for season 3 to see what all they think up!! I mean Season 2 had alot from pony Indiana Jones to even Batman.

As for Shining Armour. Before the season 2 finale Twilight had never even mentioned him! Her brother came totally out of left field. The gang had been to Canterlot a bunch of times and not once did Twilight mention "Oh yeah...there's my bro the head of the kingdom's guards!". Spike never even mentioned him and he was raised by Twilight from an egg.

Im hoping in season 3 they visit other places in the kingdom. Like Manehattan, Fillydelphia, Las Pegasus, and Baltimare.
