I doubt it would matter. Even if pulverized to dust, they probably would have reformed into the jewlry.

Or materialized out of thin air, the way that "actually inside your heart" trinkets are wont to do.

About FOE, yes this episode screws FOE canon. But many episode did this before (on smaller scale). It's not like FOE was that close to canon anyway, Celestia in FOE never was close to MLPFIM Celestia.

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/01/brony-documentary-released.html Whoa thats finally released. Not sure if I want watch it.

Well, just watched the new episode. I'm... not sure how I feel about it, really.

My only real beef with the episode is that the pacing is in need of tweaking.

jesus christ dude, it was like 2 posts out of the entire page, chill out.

I don't think you were reading the same page I was, Blissey. It was definitely more than two posts.

Also, the "Jesus Christ dude" was uncalled for, IMO. Let's all chill.

@Ace, if you're still around: I definitely agree with that. I really need to stop hanging around the thread while the episodes are airing, too; I was spoiled a bit, and I do have to agree a little with the view that Fluttershy was pretty much acting the way she was with no reason to at all. The episode felt like it was drawing on continuity that wasn't there - another episode or two of Discord causing trouble between 'The Return of Harmony' and KCAFO, more time spent trying to wrestle Discord into place, etc. One thing I will say I liked is the way Discord acted towards Fluttershy; I can't put my finger on it, but it felt contiguous from their interaction in the hedge maze in 'Return'.

I don't know, you guys. I know a lot of people who think Discord got ridiculously nerfed in this ep, and I'm starting to agree with them. Let's consider what he actually did in both his appearances.

Return of Harmony: Scared the shit out of Celestia just by coming back to life (it's the only time in the series we've ever seen her pacing); wrecked an entire orchard's worth of crops; fiddled with the brains of every pony he could got his hands on; turned Ponyville into a Salvador Dali acid-trip nightmare; Mind Raped the Mane Six and enjoyed doing it.

Keep Calm and Flutter On: Flooded an orchard, broke a lamp, put Fluttershy's living room on a gimbal.

That seems to be a more drastic decrease in power than his fear of the Elements would warrant. Remind me why he ever made Celestia nervous.

Well, I like that they tried to give Discord a reason to behave himself, although they needed to elaborate on it.

I reckon when the Elements let him out, they put a smaller-scale limiter on him to limit the damage he could do.

Pinkie :3

The way I figure it, it's probably more like shambling about groggily for the first ten minutes after you've been forcibly pulled out of bed. In the two-parter, he'd had the equivalent of waking up naturally as the sun rises, and having a cup of coffee and some eggs and bacon and a slice of toast before heading out for the day.

Discord likes a good breakfast apparently.

Especially with a nice refreshing glass of OJ. That stuff is the bomb.

Discord doesn't play fair when gaming :V

Twi and Bambi

Celestia :D

Applebloom as a Pretty Cure

Maybe Celestia had a talk with statue!Discord beforehand. Like a warning that he would be turned to stone permanently if he didn't give this time a good try.

Also, this time - Luna's around. Didn't Celestia and Luna turn him to stone on their own the first time?

Also want to mention that I am relieved that Fluttershy didn't try to beg/appeal to his inner good whatever when he just clearly broke his word. She just got mad.

@Kyler: I see what you did there. Chocolate Milk is more C4, OJ is ANFO.

@prolly: They used the Elements against him way back then.

Spaicrab :3

Is this more like pulling at her hair or skirt?

Uh...skirt?

The context would be more like sleeve, I'd say.

Heh, if latest ep doesn't make Fluttershy X Discord a very popular ship, I don't know what will. In fact, I now expect Discord to come to Fluttershy's aid whenever she's in danger.

Shipping fuel. Shipping fuel everywhere.

Discord/Fluttershy is going to become solid fanon any second now... assuming it hasn't already.

Whenever the show has a series finale (which hopefully isn't for a good, long time), they should bring Discord and have him tell the ponies that "All good things must come to an end."

*Snap*

How's that for a weird ending?
