I KNEW I wasn't the only one who thought this today! · 10:16pm Jan 19th, 2013
lol. My only complaint is that this wasn't a two-part episode. I think that would have helped. Oh well. I'm just glad that he wasn't entirely reformed

My roommate insists that I am Fluttershy. *fangirl squeal*
I didn't think of this until now, but oh god it's so perfect.
A shame about the episode, though. I agree; it should've been a two parter. Maybe then they would've had more item to flesh out the character progression and not have to pull the "I just needed friends, now I'm good(ish)" card.
Good episode, but if they're going to pick up after that ending, they need to make sure he shows up later on doing something important. Or inexplicably rebelling. After all, a freelancing (lancing, get it?) chaos god isn't going to just disappear. And he better not stop snarking.
728749 I see what you did there... Yeah, I heard a rumor they were planning on a two parter. I think that would have helped for the friendship between Discord and Fluttershy to be more significant. Oh well, maybe in the future.
728952 I know. I hope he becomes a secondary character now on a more permanent basis. Maybe he could be like Zecora...
Oh Whooves, they NEED to have a conversation! Zecora and Discord!
My heart exploded. But not in a Awwwwww kind of way. More like,
WHAT THE FFFFUUUUU-
*Boom*
729681 BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! That's for....well, I'm sure you did something that makes you deserve it!

Actually, that sort of sudden realization is a very realistic thing. Because, you know, the phrase, "You don't know what you got 'til it's gone."
729786 I made pinkie pie watch the hidden cut-seen for Luna Game 5.. On Friday the 13th.. At midnight.....
729891 Still, I felt like the friendship wasn't really built up enough. I mean, for a kids show it was fine but I think it just needed a little more time for her friendship to change him and for them to become attached to each other outside of her just wanting to help him.
729956 ....YOU! You're the one to blame for this Pinkamena nonsense!

Have some Skype stuff as an answer:
729966 In my defense, her hear didn't ' deflate,' until I forced her to listen to the audio file of a femoral artery snapping under its on stress.... That's when she went all . And I started going all
729982
Alright. I do see your point. I meant more like when she hugs him, calls him her friend and he automatically believes it. In my experience,friendship doesn't come so quickly(I'm a far northerner so that also might be a factor. lol)
729987 *shakes head* Well, too late to change it now. She's gone loopy.

Dear Jesus, that's a long chunk of text.
I do agree that friendship is a powerful thing, though. He did spend well over 1000 years in stone, fully conscious, and receiving mostly insults. To have somepony who actually considers him a friend is a powerful thing.
Just not, in my mind, cause for immediate reform. While I suppose that his demeanor following the event was still affected by Fluttershy's acts, I wouldn't expect that he'll still be the stainless soul that he was at the end of the episode after a week or so of being "coached" for good. It'll take some intense coaching from Celestia to get him to behave, and I sincerely hope that he returns, with his old sense of humor intact and refitted to use for a less evil purpose.
I'm not sure how well I can tolerate this episode unless they follow up with an episode about Discord warping reality around them to face a stronger enemy and push their limits (a la Q and the Borg). Or something like that. Really, anything that allows him to be his old self, but not be inherently evil.

But that's the thing. I don't think he's completely reformed. Not yet, anyway. He's still Discord for all intents and purposes. However, for the time being, he's trying to figure out what this whole friendship thing means to him. So he'll behave while he sorts things out. Once he's sorted things out and given the matter a lot of thought, then whatever decision he makes will be a good one because it wasn't sudden. He'll have spent time thinking on it and reaching his own conclusions.
Well this episode went as expected. I laughed at Discord's antics, but was disappointed with the ending. If anything I would have liked there to be something that showed he was living with Fluttershy for more than a day before he reformed(It looked more like 2.eh.). I also would have liked if the ending was a bit more open ended. I was actually hopping that it would end leaving a hint that Discord will have a role to play in the season finale (be the villain maybe?). I did like that Celestia still doesn't trust him. Kinda sad to see that the others seemed kinda lax with him at the end. Hehe, I loved their faces after Fluttershy said he can be sweet when you get to know him, especially Celestia's xD.
Love the picture btw :D
~Have a good one.
