This was almost the only episode I was going to skip because I don't like Discord. Though I do admit I had an Actually Pretty Funny moment or two with rolling the eyes and candles.

I still don't like Discord by Angel Bunny getting hurt made up for it. If the preview said "ohh and Angel gets hurt." I would've been saying "I am so there"

I'm surprised Fluttershy managed to make it work.

John de Lancie was credited. If I recall correctly, he was uncredited last time, right?

Beavers are dicks

That's the most confusing innuendo I've ever seen.

Clearly Fluttershy learnt a little emotional manipulation from Rarity in order to pull off this gambit.

I can see him as basically being a prankster, but times 100. Like he'll constantly annoy people, not out of malice, but because he just doesn't know where to draw the line.

@Keg: Oh man, now I can't unsee it.
You may be right. I may be crazy.
But it just may be a Lunatic you're looking for.

Okay, I'm off for real now.

Good episode! Too short, but good!

Delancie was uncredited the first time?!

Something tells me this is going to be the most polarising episode yet...

Also, the writers either need to learn how to pace over 22 minutes better, or somehow get longer episode lengths. I do love this episode, but it's abruptness of the ending was irritating...

Shota, don't you remember? He thought he was only doing a one-time gig that wouldn't have a cult following. Of course he went uncredited.

He didn't expect the wave of bronies afterwards. XD

Yeah, any future episodes with Discord should have him still being really annoying to everyone, but not as maliciously so as he used to be.

@JM Qwilleran:
So next new episode isn't until February? Ah well, I can live with that. This one quenched my appetite for the time being, and there are only two left in the season.
Next week does have a new episode (S3E8 premiering Out Of Order), so there are three left in the season.

Also, we should prepare for some Celestia/Fluttershy shipping from the first part, and a metric fuckton of shipping for Discord/fluttershy.

I wonder whether the showrunners were planning to reform Discord all along, or if this episode was a response to Discord's popularity among the fans.
And, since today is apparently National Jump To Conclusions Day...

At first I thought the ending was a bit abrupt, but thinking back there were a few spots before the end that he seemed on the path towards reformation. I just wrote them off because he's a good enough actor and manipulator that it's really tough to tell when he's being sincere.

And now, a riddle for the ages: Who would win in a fight, Discord or the Genie?
Hate them veggies...

I´m glad to see on twitter that so many people disliked this episode. See, I´m not crazy!

Now seriously, I really didn´t like it. I wan´t expecting much but the episode itself was boring. And exactly what was Fluttershy "great performance"? She did NOTHING the entire episode. Nothing. And Discord suddenly deciding her friendship mattered was lame, especially since she turned her back on him in a second.

This episode sucks.

Whatshis - thank you! Glad to know that next Saturday will not be free of a new episode. I knew that there was one that was out of order, but I forgot about it. So this is the one that they said when we see it, we'll know why it's delayed. I'm very curious.

@Whatsis: Wait, if Episode 8 appears out of order, that would make this episode 10, wouldn't it? so there are three episodes left?

Unless I've missed an episode, in which case...

We can love and tolerate that this episode IS A MILEAGE-VARYING one.

Friendship doesn't mean you don't still get mad at your friends when they're being total dicks.

Consider that despite everything, she still honored her promise not to use the Elements on him.

@Irish: Neither, they'd be bros.

@Ales: That doesn't really mean much; every episode has people who are going to love it, and people who are going to hate it.
