A timeline is something on which you shouldn't depend
Don't spend your time worrying 'bout beginning and end
Just watch with us all and enjoy with everyone
Don't start to make theories; that ruins the fun.
Leave off on things being just right or finding final word
Twilight tried once for perfection and look what occurred...

I suspect that Discord would rather go back to being a nice statue than be subject to this humiliating treatment.

@Ginger, true, but I liked those moments of honest snarkiness.

Me, too. He just wouldn't be our Spikey-Wikey without the snark.

Christ, y'see what this show's done to me? It's made a grown man type out "Spikey-Wikey." Twice!

As someone who's had that done to him, I wouldn't wish that fate on anyone. EVEN him!

Again, the snarking is good, as long as you recognize that it was wrong for him to be snarking at that moment, yet enjoy it regardless

I havnt seen (Discord's) episode but he probably deserves it.

(gasps)

Get thee to YouTube, immediately!

Random cute thing about Secret of my excess:

I loved the way Spike was rocking back and forth on his feet while he was waiting for his treat from the Cakes

Between becoming a statue and being made over by the Mane six, I've pick the latter.

Depends on if you were CONSCIOUS while you were a statue.

Discord could've just been fucking with them (would you honestly put it past him? ) when he said it was lonely being encased in stone

I have the feeling that if someone tried to make Gilda be nice, she'd tell them to twist off.

Oh yes, she would. I wouldn't put it past her to use more colourful language either.

Maybe she'd listen to RD... when they were alone

Maybe, but that boat may have already sailed at this point.

This episode reminded me way too much of Kim Possible's 'Grande Size Me.' I worry that they'll turn Spike into a comedic sidekick who suffers from having random flaws grafted onto him episode by episode for the sake of a joke. I much preferred his earlier episode with the owl, where his negative behavior wasn't relying on mysterious magical reptilian genetics quirks, but on a fundamental insecurity that a non-dragon could identify with.

That said, there were a ton of really nice tidbits in here, even if I didn't care for the base plot device, and I loved the ending for its thematic symmetry and relative subtlety (as far as children's shows get to be subtle).

I stared at that Zecora meme picture for like ten minutes before I got the joke, then I facepalmed.

Well, only time will tell (if the writers decide to bring her back). Gilda is still willing to be RD's friend. We just have to see if RD is willing to give her another chance

Gilda, oh yeah, that reminds me, I need to post more answers, she comes up in one of the answers.

....

DANGED OCCUPIED COMPUTER WITH SCANNER!

What was your opinion on Gilda anyway?

Yay more answers are ready.

She's a jerk and I don't care about her? Similar apathy to Trixie only she Terrorized an old lady, stole, and made Fluttershy cry thus making her worse in my eyes.

Who knows? At this point Gilda herself may have already moved on as well.

If she did come back I would honestly be kind of worried at the fan reaction she might get.

I think we might need to protect her from being attacked by angry Fluttershy fans.

Those fans. I wanna punch em. Seriously, I wanna fucking sledgehammer em.

...

but I won't, because that would make me a hypocrite

Quite, there are far better reasons to go against Gilda. I mean she scared poor ol' Granny Smith.

@Ginger: I know a nice place to cool them off - on the mooooooooon!

Thousands of legitamite reasons to hate Gilda. (I don't, but that's my own problem) Yelling at a pony she didn't even know is almost certainly at the BOTTOM of that list
