A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

Not going to lie, I thought the exact same thing during that sequence.
Observations:
- So, is Star Swirl the Bearded the only important historical unicorn there ever was? Not that I mind them using him, I just wish they'd come up with other historical characters.
- Cadence's train is awesome.
- If Discord doesn't live with Fluttershy, then where does he live?
- I see they're using Discord to sneak in references to this side of the fourth wall, like how Aladdin handled the Genie. I approve.
- Discord's song was out of nowhere, all over the place, and completely hilarious. Just like him.
- Discord needs to learn that to have a friend, you need to be a friend. He sort of learned that in his reformation episode, but he can't expect to just show up, make everyone's life more difficult and expect everyone to still be his friend.
- Of the little gags Discord's rampant chaos gave us, I particularly liked him hanging Pinkie on a tree like an ornament. I don't know why, but I just found that hilarious.
So, the flu was actually fake and it nearly got the pair killed. That's just as big a letdown as the ending of North! THAT WAS HEINOUS!!!
The song was awesome, though.
Dakota's blog An odd agent of justiceIt was great, but it also cements Discord's place as the biggest troll in the univers but uses his power for educating Twilight and her friends.

Dakota's blog An odd agent of justiceI just noticed that during this shot
, that's one of those naked body scanners in the background. Even if this is one of Discord's random fever images, what purpose would one of those things even serve?
Also, thanks to that giant worm (Tatzlwyrm, right?), I've had this music
running in my head for a while now.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectJust where IS is house anyway? Who delvers mail? Or do they have some weird teleporting scroll thing like Spike and Tia? She puts her letter in a certain spot, he just zaps them to him or something?
This ep, was fun, just, pure fun. And so many gags, so many references. So many great lines.
"You come by to visit, you never write..."
"I don't even know where you live!"
I asked that too! Like, how does Fluttershy know where Discord lives?

The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!This episode confirms this show is on serious drugs. It must be great being a story border on it.
Also, they missed a perfectly good opportunity to make a hands/hooves of blue reference.
"I feel like I'm on a raft and surrounding me is an ocean of dumb."- Mr. SarkIt's Discord, I wouldn't try to hard to figure out how it works.
Also, regarding the airport bit, that thing might just be a metal detector. The body scanners are usually bulkier.

Just reflex most likely. They are so used to running to go froward, that only the most experienced flyers overcome that urge to move their hooves. Since it would cause issues with high speed/stunt flying like RD and the Wonderbolts do.
