I'm noticing a pattern in Season 5...

WARNING:  SOME SPOILERS AHEAD

Ok so recently we had the long-awaited return of Gilda, right?  It had been 4 long seasons since we last saw her.  She was last seen in episode 5 of season 1 and she returned in episode 8 of season 5 making it an even longer gap than Trixie's.

Now in episode 9, the 100th episode, we saw Steven Magnet return and he had an even longer gap than Gilda did!  He hadn't been seen or mentioned since episode 2!

And this next weekend we're getting an episode where Twilight goes back to Canterlot to make amends with her old "friends" that we saw in the beginning of episode 1!  Remember those 3 ponies who were trying to get her to come to Moondancer's party but she made the excuse that she had studying to do and ran off?  Yeah, those ponies!  They've had an even longer gap than Steven Magnet did!

So basically this season so far has been about going back in time and revisiting characters and in some cases events that happened in season 1 almost in perfect order.  And this next weekend we'll finally see the longest-absent characters return!

But does it stop there?

Of course there's really no one else from earlier in episode 1 that we can see return from absense, we already got a flashback of Nightmare Moon in the premier for S4.  Perhaps we'll go back a little further?  Perhaps a character that would have appeared prior to the chronological start of the show?  Maybe Starswirl the Bearded makes an appearance in the midst of some time-travel-related condumdrum? Or maybe we won't get characters from THIS show itself, perhaps more G1 character revamps like Tirek and the Smooze...  I am interested in seeing Grogar return...

So yeah, that's just a little observation I've made, I doubt I'm the only one who has noticed.  What do you guys think of that and what other characters would you like to see return to the show, Season 1 or otherwise?
