I'm glad you had a positive outlook on Discord's reformation, like me. Just because he's not a villain anymore doesn't mean he has to necessarily play nice.
Your giddiness at seeing John Q. Discord again made this extremely entertaining to watch. Despite how rushed the ending was, I thought that the writers and animators did a great job of showing just how important the brief moment of Discord's realization was.
I knew you'd like this one! Not only because Discord comes back, but the sweet emotional parts too. The "well played" scene made me tear up when I first saw it ;w;.
This is definitely one of my favorites of the season, and one of the funniest episodes of the whole show. I *LOVE* when Discord literally "rolls his eyes", as well as that part where he makes himself small at 9:10. Not to mention how nonchalantly he acts about eating paper.
Nice review as always. One thing you might want to check out is a fanfic "Keepers of Discord" which plays on some similar themes to this episode. It is a not canon and nothing in it spoils events other than what you see in Discord's first episode so no worries on that. Personally I liked it a lot because the expanded length compared to a 22 minute episode lets you get into Discord's internal perspective much deeper.
I love the subtle foreshadowing and continuity in this episode, first we see him change the beavers, then in the background we see the Beavers moving logs, then a flooded Lake with logs floating down it. It's beautifully done, and I wish we had more things like going on in the background of most episode
My problem with Discord's reform isn't the reform itself. It's that the reform came too soon and happened in only one episode. This sort of thing should have happened at the end of a season's two-part finale.
I had faith in Fluttershy the whole time. I was disappointed in the other 5 ponies. Because their job is to get him to want to reform in away. Twilights plan was to use magic and force him into submission of obedience that's wrong. Now hear me out. In season 2 opening of when were interduce to Discord. He changed them with a spell trying to break their friendship and turn them into something they were not. And they hated it. So, why is it okay for them to use the same spell against him turning him into something he is not and against his own free will. The mission is to get him to agree to use magic of his own free will not by a spell forcing him too that's just wrong. Twilight's plan was to force him into reforming instead of actually trying to go about it in another way. And that is why Fluttershy's plan to reform him by being his friend, showing him what friendship is. Something he wasn't able to understand for a long time because he's always been alone, he's one of a kind of his own species. Twilight and the others are wrong because there basically saying you do what we tell you to do or it's back to stone they are just throwing out Ultimatums for him to obey by, that's not giving him a chance to see anything else other then they want to imprison him. That's not the right path to take when trying to reform someone. But that's my opinion.
Yeah, this episode is definitely more about Discord than Fluttershy. We'll get some big Fluttershy episodes in the next season though. Trust me. Also, I'm right with you regarding Discord. The first time I saw this show, I never would've guessed that he was going to become a major character.
OMG, your reaction is cute, I love your reaction. I have a little question, What y think about shipping like AppleDash, FlutterDash, TwiDash and others like thise?
***** Fans who ship a character with a lot of other characters are not always attracted to said character. In fact fans who are attracted to a character are less likely to ship them with canon characters, which is where self insert x canon character pairings often come from.
Overall, it was a decent episode, but I think the writers tried to squeeze a bit too much into one episode. I think it could have really benefited from being a two-parter to be honest, to make the buildup of Discord being reformed better-paced, but I think they did the best they could with the limited time they had allotted. Besides, Discord makes for one entertaining secondary character, hah.

Meaning:
Just because he's not taking over the world and ruining lives, doesn't mean he's not Discord.
Discord is still the most random troll in Equestria. He's just not trying to ruin lives and take over the world.
Yeah! He just wants to have fun just like other ponies do.
Whenever I see this episode, right at the end, I always say, "And that's when Discord's crush on Fluttershy started!"
Aww! 🥲🥰

Mine also!
They need to sell those Discord Lamps
The ending was a bit rushed, but over all a great episode. MUCH better than the previous one.
This episode would have done so well with five more minutes. Like many episodes of season three.
You mean The return of Harmony.
This was my first discord episode. I know season two spoilers. But I love it when you get what you ask for, try it again, ask for more stuff.
look like youre Discord fan too, you are going to love S4 especially premiere,middle of the season and finale
From here on out, try not to read future episode titles until you get to them. They can have really bad spoilers to season finales.

Someone involved with this episode really liked air quotes.
There's a lot of Angel abuse in this episode! Does anyone actually feel sorry for him?
NOPE.
Jackie McCann
Didn't think so.
OMG, your reaction is cute, I love your reaction.
I have a little question, What y think about shipping like AppleDash, FlutterDash, TwiDash and others like thise?
Shipping is fun, that sounds sweet :)
LaDix Flutterdash is the cutest one.
