All in all, not a bad episode - the beaver subplot was pretty rushed so the first half was stronger as a result, but Discord is still fun to watch. Between this and Magic Duel, however, I feel this episode would have definitely benefited more if it were a two-parter, since the dynamic between Discord and the others should have easily been extended. What the fans have to understand is that Discord never had outright evil intentions like Chrysalis or Sombra, and he's more of a force of nature so he was closer to a neutral party if anything. I think the real problem is that even though Discord wasn't the most dire threat, he was definitely the most powerful character that the Mane 6 had faced. With Discord on better terms he could make more appearances if the plot demands it, but hopefully they will explain next time why the Mane 6 has to deal with the next villain rather than Discord (probably something along the lines of his magic never being as pure as the elements). I've got to say though, with the Crystal Empire, the Alicorn Amulet, Rainbow Dash's development and now Discord no longer a statue, it does seem like there should be something bigger planned...
