Talk:Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2/@comment-7664086-20140925211433

Maybe I'm reading too deep into it, but one of my favorite moments from this episode is when Twilight demands Tirek to release Discord, specifically this moment.

Twilight Sparkle: All of my friends.

Lord Tirek: After the way he has betrayed you, you still call him...a friend?

Twilight Sparkle: Release him!

Lord Tirek: ..If that's what you want.

Tirek does not seem to understand Twilight's logic here, and it makes sense. Twilight was willing to show Discord mercy even after his betrayal because she understood the importance of Friendship and forgiveness and all that good stuff. Tirek went through a similar situation when his own brother "betrayed" his trust. The difference between Twilight and Tirek is that he was never willing to forgive.

Like I said: probably over thinking it, but it was just a subtle thing I took from the scene.
