Talk:Make New Friends but Keep Discord/@comment-10390252-20150516160533

That was... brilliant! Easily the best episode of the season so far. Even though it was Discord-centric (and finally broke the 'tame insane clown' trope for Discord, reminding us that he is alien as well as 'mad, bad and dangerous to know), everypony had a look-in and did so nicely. It is much better a Discord vehicle episode than Three's A Crowd, and just as important as Twilight's Kingdom in developing Discord as a character.

The moral lesson on jealousy and the fact that you can have more than one friend was nicely done. The resolution was nicely handled and we see that Fluttershy is still adept and keeping Discord reined in, even when he is in full-out Dark God of Chaos mode.

I loved the Pinkie/Maud asides and the return of Trollestia from The Best Night Ever.

Overall? This really puts the season back on track, in my view.
