You know, it's been months now and I still can't buy into his reformation at all.  I still look back at the joy he took in manipulating and mind-raping the Mane Six in Return of Harmony Part 1, and that to me is not a character that's as chaotic neutral as many fans make him out to be. 

 

I just think that the show took one of the few legitimate, terrifying threats in the series and removed him of his juice completely.  His discording of Pinkie Pie was a pretty gripping scene, and we'll never see anything like that from him in the show again thanks to this episode.

Theres no way he is reformed. He's coming back bad I hope.

 

At the end of the episode, you can see him and Celestia look at the screen wierdly. 

 

I really hope he's not reformed.

It was a fabulous episode, and I loved how Fluttershy and Discord became friends. @ those people who said it was too rushed, almost every MLP episode is. This is one of the gems of MLP, definitely.

 I didn't really like Keep Calm and Flutter on. I feel it wasn't really necessary for Discord to become good. I really wanted to see him cause more chaos in the next few seasons. Maybe if we're lucky, he was lying about the whole "reformed" thing and is really still evil.

Discord is the physical incarnation of chaos and...Well, discord. I realize this show can't just throw out the "Friendship is a magical deus ex machina that can repair everything forever" morality because god forbid the viewers be exposed to reality as opposed to fluffy clouds and rainbow-striped cheese whiz...But not every bloody antagonist has to be magically redeemed. As entertaining as it was seeing Discord again, the "friendship is magic" schtick really drags the episode down when it destroys the very essence of a character.

 

It also bugs me that people call Discord evil but that's another matter entirely. :lol:

Great episode but something that bothered me was the reforming spell. Even if Twilight found a reforming spell would it work on Discord? He's a near omnipotent being. Because Discord ate the papers there was either a genuine threat or he just felt like trolling Twilight. I'm not sure what to think of it.

This was most likely my favorite episode in season three besides May the Best Pet Win from season two. I like how Discord kept trolling everypony. This episode also shown that even kindness can conquer evil.

This episode had Discord AND Fluttershy, which is pretty freakin' cool in itself if you ask me. I thought it was a well done episode. I like how Fluttershy changed Discord. Changing Discord isn't an easy task, and I think Fluttershy was the perfect choice to try to change him. Overall, this was actually a decent episode, probably one of my favorites.

Well, I agree with you on the Discord/evil bit; he's not evil, that's just another interesting aspect of the Discord arc. He's only relatively evil, and seems evil to the Mane 6, as he's a force of disharmony, and they are defenders of law and order.

 

However, you do have to admit that the whole basis of the show is that "Friendship is a magical dues ex machine that can repair everything forever". I mean, seriously, have you heard of the Elements of Harmony?

Lots of people who don't know Fluttershy well may think she's Shy and a Scaredy-Pony but really she's really smart and strong (Not exactly brave) in this episode and Dragonshy. I'm Proud  :yay:


Where do we watch it? Usually there is a link of some sort to a place to view the episode? I would love to know where! Thanks everypony.

Why not watch it on Youtube? They got all the MLP episodes, and in good quality too!! Hurry up Season four!!!!! November.23rd is so far..why?!


Even if Discord is "Nice" now, I still hate his guts for what he did in The Return of Harmony Part 1/2 But Rarity was going totally BONKERS! Hilarious!

i found this episode to be awesome. if you remember back in the beginning of season 2, Fluttershy was the ONLY mane 6 who had to be FORCED into her anti-self. and when it comes time for season 3, she is the one who takes care of him. when i first heard of this episode, i was thinking to myself as if i was her: "Hey, Discord! remember me? you changed me because you couldn't defeat me. i didn't like that. let's see how you feel about me changing you into everything you aren't. does that sound good to you? no? well too bad! Ima gonna fix you up anyway!" i saw it as her chance of getting back at Discord.  :angry:

I completely lol'ed when I thought Rainbow Dash said "Dick-Cord." And when Celestia just left them with Discord, not even a guard to help. Just, "Okay, you take care of that, I'll go play Poker with Luna."

One thing that was missing from this episode. Discord makes reference of all the trouble that happened after he was sealed away.

 

Discord mentions Twilight's bit of chaos with the enchantment spell of Lesson Zero.

 

Discord is reading a paper and asks Fluttershy if the tail extentions were true.

I'm not really sure how everyone can say that Discord is now turned good for certain.  If anything, the episode ended on an air of uncertainty.

 

Overall, I liked it, and I do think that Discord could still conceivably come back and mess with the characters later on.

Discord did dish out some punshment on Angel for the Iron Will episode. More of Discord harrassing Angel would be fine. Maybe he'll be the go to character to punish bad characters.

Well, Celestia was able to enchant the Elements Of Harmony so that Discord couldn't simply teleport them away again, so who knows?

It only occured to me the other day.

 

The whole thing about butterflies causing hurricanes with their wings though Chaos Theory.

 

Fluttershy's cutie mark is butterflies and Discord is a manifastion of Chaos.

 

Do you think this was intentional? I'm surprised i didn't realise it sooner tho i bet someone already has by now.
