Talk:What About Discord?/@comment-10390252-20151107170806

Hmm... Okay, that was probably the weakest episode of this season. Basically, you could have shortened it to about five to ten minutes and have told the same story with the same outcome. It was almost entirely padding. Discord was under-used; it was clear that the script team were hoping having John deLance and Tara Strong chewing the metaphorical scenery would carry the episode but it didn't work out for me.

All eight primary characters were practically 'phoning it in; most of the 'jokes' didn't work. I'm sorry but it was a very, very poor effort indeed. Even the animators pop culture jokes (mostly Discord and Pinkie's fourth wall-breaking costume changes) just about got me to snort.

The only two parts of this that could possibly make watching it worthwhile was the fact that Discord hints that he still has a wicked (not evil, wicked) side that delights in complex pranks and also voice of sanity!Spike. The latter, making Spike right and Twilight wrong (and him not being humiliated at the end too) is such a rare character event that it is worth noting.

A definite 'Miss' for me and probably only the second this season after the ho-hum experience for me that was 'Made in Manehattan'. It was much worse an experience than that, though.
