They did a fine job of pacing here. As with The Return of Harmony, Discord's inherently interesting character is smoothly developed throughout the course of the episode, culimating in what I find to be a fantastically written emotionally moving resolution. His pause after saying "Because if I don't, I'll lose the one friend I ever had?" as he stares at the discarded ice skates... that's the sort of story-telling and character development that gets me engaged. I feel like if this were written in season 6, the solemn and profound "oh... huh... Well played, Fluttershy. Well played." would be replaced with something needlessly awkward and expository that would derail the mood.
