Hey everypony! So, with there only being 4(now 3!) episodes left in season 3, why not start writing full reviews again? I was kind of lazy with the last few, just didn't feel like it, but I think I can manage for the last four. Here is my review of the first of the four, Keep Calm and Flutter On! Also in the discussion thread of course, link below:

 

So, Keep Calm and Flutter On, not too bad. Discord finally returned, which we all knew was coming, and he was just as funny and chaotic as he's always been for the most part, my particular favorite was the lamp gag, and the paper eating. :lol: But really, you'd think Discord would have stolen the show, but nope, Fluttershy had(part of) her name in the episode and she made sure we knew it, as did Celestia. I could only imagine the patience it would require to put up with Discord as she did, she was great. I also liked how the Elements were treated as sort of a gun to Discord's head, and I think it was a good thing they didn't have to use them. Now, the actual reforming part- I honestly think it's kind of sweet that Discord always wanted a friend, and he even ended up using Fluttershy with that sympathy, acting like he didn't care even though he totally did, that dynamic really kept me guessing. I'm okay with him being reformed as well, although, of course, we shouldn't completely trust him just yet, but he does still have threats looming over his head(losing Fluttershy's friendship, having the elements used against him again) so it will be interesting to see how things turn out for him. The only problem I had with the episode was the lack of screentime and lines for the other characters besides the main 2 here, along with Twilight and Rainbow Dash who got more lines than everyone else- after seeing the relatively very even distribution in the last episode I expected better, but oh well, minor nitpick. I still very much enjoyed this episode, and while it may not of been as good as The Return of Harmony, I think it will stand as one of my favorites in the series. Simply marvelous, don't miss it. :D

I would agree with basically everything you said, however I believe it was a bit rushed. I'm not sure whether the whole time he liked Fluttershy as a friend or if he just suddenly decided that he cared about her, but I'm hoping it's more of the former.

 

Also, I'm not complaining about the lack of screentime for some characters because most episodes in season 2 and 3 seem to be focusing on a single character's development rather than all of them taking on a challenge, as it was in season 1.
