Keep Calm and Flutter On; Episode 11
Topic Started: Jan 13 2013, 01:58 PM (341 Views)

Air Date: 19th January 2013

Synopsis: Princess Celestia tasks the ponies with reforming Discord, a mischievous spirit of disharmony, but Fluttershy is the only one who is willing to give him a chance.

Extended Synopsis: Princess Celestia has decided that the rambunctious Discord needs to be tamed and commissions the ponies for the job; Fluttershy believes that Discord deserves a second chance but she faces opposition as the only one who thinks so.


(Listing as Episode 11 as that's the number Derpibooru, EqD and Zap2it are giving it. Episode 8 is the pet one that got pushed back.)

Discord turning good?

Yeah right.

He's a jerk.

Yay! A new episode! And it was actually quite good, once you have recovered from the initial shock and thought about it.

What a ridiculous episode.

I'd rather have a Boss Fight with Discord then just trust he's "good" now all of a sudden.

*prepares party members and boss themes for just that*

I think Discord would make an exellent Ally. Personally I like the Good-Turned Evil-Turned Good type charracters. (I know, Celestia said "We saw how miserable his rule made Equestria, THEN we found the elements of harmony"...but who knows? Discord could have hidden the elements of harmony from Celestia and Luna the same as he did to the Ponyville team.

But even if not (and probably not), i'm still open to the idea. Whether or not they pull it off is another matter, and that's why I chose to post before I saw the episode, to keep an unbiased opinion. We'll see how my opinion changes when I actually wach the episode and see the execution.

Just seemed a bit forced. Playing towards the fans a bit too much that they forfeited good writing style.

I agree with Ozgho...

I almost feel like this would have been better as a two parter... The ending seemed rushed.

I absolutely loved the episode. I don't think it would have worked as a two-parter at all. It would just be a bunch of filler if they did that. And besides, two-parters are for the epic adventure points of the series. This wasn't one of them.

I loved how Fluttershy showed how manipulative she could be. ...for the right reasons of course. That moment, when Discord has tasted friendship, it's worth, and it dawns on him it's going to go bye-bye, and Fluttershy has him trapped...it's totally like...checkmate!

And besides that, it's Discord. He's never exactly made sense. I hope Discord becomes a recurring character now. I was initially appalled by the very concept of the episode, but I warmed up to the idea, and I think they pulled it off wonderfully.

Bonus points for the Elements of Harmony used outside of a season premiere or finale.

I believe the episode's end seemed rushed because it was only 22 minutes.
Same with a good majority of episodes.

Maybe we should have Doctor Who length episodes going on now?
