Talk:Keep Calm and Flutter On/@comment-32136229-20130119184905

Here are my thoughts on this episode:

This was by far one of the best episodes of this season. It very much makes up for the previous episode.

It's definitely great to see an episode that doesn't focus on her shyness and instead on her other character traits. I thought Fluttershy was characterized incredibly well in this episode. I do have to say that this is her best characterization in the series yet.

I also loved Discord in this episode. Like in The Return of Harmony, I really really enjoyed him and I thought his character was handled incredibly well. This episode also added more to his character with the fact that he never had any friends. When Fluttershy said to him that he considers him a friend, that was the moment where he discovered friendship. That moment alone makes the climax pretty effective, when he realizes that he would be losing the one friend he'll ever had. While I think that they could have explored more of her character, I still think that Discord was handled well.

This episode was also pretty well-paced up until the end of the episode, where, like everyone else, felt that the ending was rushed. Despite that, it came out pretty natural for me.

Overall, it was a great episode. It's not the best episode of the season (that title goes to Sleepless in Ponyville), but it was still great. I'm gonna give this episode a 9.5/10. I have to thank Polsky for doing a good job writing this episode and Antonio for coming up with the premise of this episode.
