Talk:Keep Calm and Flutter On/@comment-216.154.74.42-20130121210846

I actually thought this episode was really well-done and handled Discord's character pretty well. I was worried that they would pull some sort of "oh, you're good forever now!" trick but I think what they ended doing with Discord's character arc was a lot more interesting. I love that this episode was driven by his battle of wits with Fluttershy, and the way in which they got him to behave makes a lot of sense: they found his one weakness and were able to use it to keep him in line. He's fairly reluctant in his truce with them and still considered a hazard when you remember that Celestia wanted to keep the elements around "just in case". I'm also pretty sure that they're building up to something big this season - I don't think Celestia would just have the girls reform him for fun. If she's making sure that Discord and his power are on her side, there may be something pretty serious on the horizon.
