I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

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.

So, does that poster mean Star Swirl the Bearded had a white coat?

"Twilight and Cadence managed to shave each other from the worm's grasp"

I know that's just a typo on the recap page but...

First a journey to the edge of the world to get a rare flower, now a giant snake monster? It's a Dangerous Business Going Out Your Door, indeed

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.

Someone needs to make a Pinkie Pie ornament that looks like that.

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.

Well. That episode was alright. Don't got much else to say. It's just alright.

Yeah definitely not one of the best, but Discord saved most of it.

BUT NEXT WEEK, WEIRD AL!

It 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.

Hate to be a downer, but has anyone screamed "PANDERING!" yet (you know, because the Genie definitely did not make multiple pop culture references in a row)

I 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? [lol]

Also, thanks to that giant worm (Tatzlwyrm, right?), I've had this music running in my head for a while now.

Just 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.

"I don't even know where you live!"

I asked that too! Like, how does Fluttershy know where Discord lives?

This episode confirms this show is on serious drugs. It must be great being a story border on it. [lol]

Also, they missed a perfectly good opportunity to make a hands/hooves of blue reference.

It'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.

I just noticed that Derpibooru doesn't seem to have the German comic with excitatory paralysis. Or at least it's not tagged right. Pity.
