Still, to this day..this is one of my all time favorite episodes! Discord is my favorite Pony Villian and he's just loads of laughs and fun! I also really liked the fact he reminded me so much of his voice actor's other role as Q, from Star Trek, which is a character I also love!
I guess the song "Discord" has contributed as well since then, but at the time this aired that wasn't out yet and I was just having all kinds of fun! Personally..i wish chocolate rain had stayed! Besides, I'll bet Tay Zonday would've loved it! (teehee snort snot..yeah someone else probably made that joke before lol)
I loved how he systematically went after each of the Mane 6's weaknesses...though with Rarity it didn't feel like she became her opposite..just her usual, self, vain, self..just more honest about it. (Rarity is my least fav of the mane 6 for that reason) either way..it was amazing to see that Fluttershy stood so strong throughout it as well. She's just so hopefully, kind and positive. Seeing how Pinkie changed was also somewhat heartbreaking! All in all, an amazing start to what is arguably, to this day the beast season of MLP:Friendship is Magic.
