Well, if they don't want to entirely revive Discord, there's always the possibility of a flashback.
@Super Gex: John de Lancie has stated that he's returning as Discord. I thought that it would probably be a flashback episode, but recent revelations from Twitter hint at a possible team up with Chrysalis

Ohhohohoho! Tantalizing spoilers! No! I must resist the urge to screw the story over for myself!

If that happens, I'm wondering how they'd get Discord out of his stone prison.
I'm not sure if I want those spoilers to happen.

@Badwolf: As noted, they're basically about as vague as can be. We're just spitballing here. Also M.A. Larson was surprised that so many people took him at his word, so I wouldn't put too much weight on it.
Yeah, that's more of something that just happened to be mentioned in multiple episodes. It's nice continuity thing, but it's so minor I hesitate to call it an Arc.
If you watch just the three Gala episodes, Spitfire recognizing Rainbow Dash from "Sonic Rainboom" comes out of nowhere.
Off the top of my head, I'm going to have to say... Little Strongheart, and Discord, respectively.

@crow The Wonderbolts definately deserve more characterization and scenes. Especially Spitfire, seeing as she doesn't have much characterization to speak of.
