Seriously, when I first saw last weeks episode, I was all like: "meh", which kind of surprised me because I'm a hopeless Discord fangirl. But then I thought about it for awhile and watched it again, and I was all like: "FEELS".

Discord said no one had ever considered him a friend before (including Celestia?), so the impact of that statement alone hit him hard. Being the volatile creature of chaos that he is, changes were happening within his heart quickly after that, and he seemed like he wasn't quite sure what to make of it. He tried to continue with his deception and his return to, but interestingly, he tried to include Fluttershy in his "fun." When she refused, it was an especially good touch to see him talk himself into a new perspective. His overall performance was brilliant and hilarious and feelsy, no doubt about it.
And man, Fluttershy was great, the most in character I've seen her in a long time. An alternate title could very well have been "The Return of Kindness". Fantastic episode, it's one I'll be happy to rewatch again and again.
And by the way, I really like the way this is turning out, I'm looking forward to the finished product!
I also love that the writers chose Fluttershy to be the reformer, so to speak. She was a great foil to Discord and overall she was absolutely fantastic in this episode, in my opinion. Her standing up to him at the end was really great to see; just to show how far she's come from season one.
Dramatic irony was actually a key factor in my appreciation for this episode. It really helped me to pick up on the subtle things tossed into it. On the first viewing, I hadn't really picked up on the ways Discord treated Fluttershy as his friend; or even the fact that even he hadn't noticed until that friendship was in jeopardy. Their friendship would be a really neat relationship to explore in future episodes, and I'm really looking forward to it.
And thank you! I hope to have it finished by this weekend.
Even so, if the writers wanted to use Discord as a recurring character (and why would they want to waste such a fun character?), then keeping him evil and in stone would have made it very difficult. The most they could get out of that would probably be a flashback episode.
