I kept hoping that Discord was planning on tricking Tirek all along, but instead, he was the one who was tricked. I was so disappointed in him, not just for betraying his friends but because I thought he was smarter than that! Alas, it was all bombast.

All right, all right. I can see why he'd betray the ponies - he WAS trapped in stone for 1000 years; that can cause a lot of resentment, to put it mildly. Also, out of all the main characters, Fluttershy was the only one who really trusted him; the other 5 always looked at him like they were waiting for him to do something terrible - so he didn't feel as strong a friendship with them. Add the fact that he couldn't do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted to, and friendship WAS kind of like imprisonment.

I hope this experience taught him who he can really trust.

Otherwise, I wonder why he helped Twilight so much with the Tree of Harmony - he practically gave her the keys himself! How much does he know about the Tree? Was he really trying to be a better friend, or was there another purpose? He's such a puzzle, this one.
