I'm kinda glad that Discord is able to do the Evil Sounds Deep thing. I was somewhat disappointed by a lack of that in the preview clip, but...

The first two episodes were made at the end of last season, so Lauren was still in charge when they were made.
D'oh. I knew that, and somehow I'd forgotten.

One of animators say that rest of s2 will air in October.
Well, October 1st is the Saturday after next, so this will be true even if they don't have a break between eps 2 & 3.
So we seem to have a tradition of starting each season with a 2-part episode featuring a new big bad. Assuming we get a season 3 what do you think THAT big bad will be like?

I just noticed that Rainbow Dash says Cloudsdale is currently experiencing a cola storm.
I need to find a way to Cloudsdale immediately.

Why was Discord making his Chaos so benign? Why not make it rain something more dangerous? Was he trying to lull equestria into a false sense of security or something?

For the Evulz. Why start big when you can go small and just get bigger from there?

Holy crap, new ponies?!
Are they already uploaded anywhere in good quality?!
Also, does anyone need a ferret? I think there's a nest of them down here.

Please, raining fire or knives or whatever is such cliche villainy. Also probably not appropriate for the target audience.

I suspect he's not really into destruction and chaos as much as he simply wants discord between ponies. E.g., cities don't need to fall and forests don't need to burn, he just wants everypony arguing and bickering with each other.

Do remember that this is a kids show. They can't suddenly have it raining blood and have animals turned inside out.
...But if you think about it, the whole "false sense of security" thing might make things worse. Man, Discord is evil!

It's still preliminary, but I may be set to rank Discord up there with some of the greatest cartoon villains of the Modern era. Alongside greats like Vlad Plasmius and Chase Young

It's essentially the demonic equivalent of thumbing his nose and going "Nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah; yo-ou ca-an't sto-op me!"

So Discord doesn't want to destroy things, he just wants everypony to suffer for all eternity and to have them hate eachother and feel nothing but Despair and anger?
...
Yeah I'm willing to class him as a Complete Monster (almost)

War, Famine, Pestilence, and Destruction are horsemen of physical chaos.
Discord is a horseman (horsepony?) of mental chaos.

Why use your god-like powers to burn cities when you create enough discord among the citizens that they burn the cities themselves?

x4 Cool, but discord shouldn't be the only pony of mental chaos. there should also be Sin, fear, and darkness
