Talk:What About Discord?/@comment-26968254-20151110090032

Honestly, this was my least favorite episode of the entire series so far. I felt like Discord's character went backwards in development instead of forewards. The other 5 Mane Six seemed to be obviously of what Twilight was feeling, which led them to border on being cruel.

In some cases, say Rainbow Dash, I could see this being in canon for her character. (I am thinking of the first MLP episode where Dash all but drowned Twilight and then fell over laughing.) And Pinkie Pie tends to shift between... completely obviously and... then randomly showing more understanding than anyone else.

But others, like... Applejack would most certainly have noticed a problem.

And then, Fluttershy went out of character by attempting a joke. I kept waiting for a reference to Discord helping her "come out of her shell more" or something similiar that would have easily made that seem legitimate to her character (because she has come a long way, but it still seems to take some encouragement from the others for her to take another step like that).

Also, the final scene where Twlight revealed her feelings seemed forced and rushed to me. Somehow, it just didn't do it for me.

Overall, the most redeeming quality I found in this whole episode was Starlight Glimmer's camio, and the outburst from Twilight about Time Travel (although that outburst also seemed forced and overly obvious to me), which may very well be where our "new villian" got her idea in the first place.
