I thought it was there to show Fluttershy was patient with annoying creatures and willing to co-operate, and getting the job done, as well as foreshadowing the beavers joy of flooding Applejack's place. (Man AJ really has an unlucky house)

Another valid point. Especially because the fact that the beavers had previously dammed SAA didn't come up at all, not even to remove suspicion from Discord.

For some reason, I'm imagining Les Mes, but with griffons, just to make a pun.

Do you hear the griffons sing, singing the song of Angry Birds?

Ahem, pun out of the way, I just realized this episode makes Discorderly Conduct canon. Sorta. Not really. Slightly closer to canon.

It does establish that the beavers usually do listen to Fluttershy though.

Say, is beaver a tag in Derpibooru yet?

Eh, you know, though the ending did feel a little sudden at first, it grew on me after thinking about it for a bit. Discord didn't know that losing a friend would hurt so much, so it's not that weird for him to continue being a dick until right after the fact.

It's like picking a fight with a short person only to find out he's a black belt karate master after he throws his first punch. Seems like a very good time to suddenly apologise to me, no matter how insincere.

...Wow. If there's some internet award for "worst analogy ever", I bet this would net me at least a nomination.

At least you didn't Metaphorgotten

I guess it kind of worked but still could have used more time.

I should go now. It's 1:30 in the morning, and my brain is tired.

@Kyler - Where do you live, if you don't mind me asking? Also, good night.

Watched. I need to re watch it in HD. But I liked it.

Heh. They made accual redemtion story in show but Discord. Idea what I always considered ridicules in fanfics but they pulled it off.

Oh wait beaver already is a tag.

Just read the episode original title. here it is [1]

Meh, cute.

So Troi should befriend with Q in his second appearance in TNG and problems would be over.

Discord now is closer to Q that before.

Well, the 480p upload I watched on YouTube was kinda sucky (some picture problems, plus I had to crank the volume to hear the dialogue), but at least I saw the episode. I agree that the ending felt rushed. Overall, though, it was a good episode.

Still no Celestia Letter.

It would be ggreat if Discord wrote one.

Okay, it was rushed, that much I get. Everbody keeps saying so!

She was kinda there in person, so a letter would have been redundant.

Oh man, Discord would totally write a letter to Celestia.

With exploding runes.

Thanks, Perpetual, for "eat any good books lately?"

You know, Discord is sort of like Q in a way. His character went through growth and reform as well.

Can anyone else see Discord continuing to be kind of a pain in the plot sometimes? I can't see him completely reforming. He'll still pull the occasional light prank, like a mischievous child.

Yeah, I'd expect him to be chaotic. Irritating rather than actively malicious.

Make it happen.

Yeah, my take on him is that he'll basically be like the start of "Griffon the Brush Off" only Up to Eleven. He'll annoy the crap out of people, but only because he doesn't stop to think, not because he's actively malicious.

So what was up with that summit that Celestia thought was more important than Discord?
