Teeth: Twice. She also walked straight into him when he was announcing her to the throne room at the start of the movie. tongue

Crowfall: Eh, with all the vitriol that gets thrown at him on a regular basis, I don't think any kind of contest will be more than a spectacle of a rehash. In short, it'd be like making a "reality" TV show about a "reality" TV show: it can only ever make the universe worse.

In EQG, pony Flash looked distinct from the rest of the Crystal Empire's guards.

The other's were crystal ponies. The Equestrian unicorn guards look different from the Equestrian pegasus guards.

(Is still a Flashlight fan)

Also, unrelated to Flash, I bet that a lot of you can predict the exact moment I squeed.

Hmm, I can't tell for sure. Maybe the part where he talked about the flower?

Which just add to the WTF, since in those he was in Canterlot.

Has the Flash Sentry appearance actually caused the expected drama, or are people just assuming that there is drama?

Well, he came with Cadance from the Empire. Along with a crystal Pegasus guard.

@Mio: The only drama about it I've seen is in derpibooru images that have him in them, so pretty easy to avoid. I don't know about on other sites though. And despite my posts, I'm not actually annoyed by his appearance here. If he'd had more than a brief cameo I might have been, but as it it I just see it as an opportunity to trash talk his character some more, which I love doing.

#42587: Jan 25th 2014 at 2:03:29 PM

Pretty much what Crow said. My only issue with him being around is just how odd it looks having a guard that different from the rest for no discernible reason. He's just so out of place.

Rewatched 2 times. I love this episode. Discord back in his glory, song, and fight Tatzlwurm are reasons.

I can't wait to see fanarts of blue D Iscord and that "World Worm".

I didn't even know he was there until you guys told me he was. I find myself in a conflicted position about him. On one hand, I'm a romance hound and I wish the show didn't take the "fuck that" stance and instead tried to reach new quality highs there like with a lot of other things. On the other hand, this is as far away from real romance and relationships as a celibrate robot monk in an underwater monastery.

I'd rather the show avoid romance for two reasons:

1. It would be really difficult to address the subject without creating a Romantic Plot Tumor. If they're going to include romance, it shouldn't be half-assed, and covering the subject adequately would require quite a bit of focus.

2. The last thing this fandom needs is a canon romance to bitch about. If any of the mane cast members have a canon significant other, the drama would probably be louder than the complaints about Derpy and Twilicorn combined.

We're having a shitstorm about whether or not we should have a shitstorm about whether or not certain things would cause a shitstorm.

Yes.

[up][up] Yes, my feelings on that is more "I wish something would have been done from the beginning". At this point it's way too late to deal with this, which is why I dread one of the upcoming episodes as a badly handled stab waiting to happen.

[up][up]Nah, just curiosity.

I noticed that a lot of people were commenting on how long the episode took to get started. Thinking about it since Cadence arriving was established early what they really meant was for Discord to get to Twilight and Cadence, which I guess makes sense.

What about the portal? Could have sworn that was in Canterlot.

No, because the movie started with them arriving in the Crystal Empire and they never left, right?

Wait, so how the hell did Sunset go through the portal in the first place if it was in the still sealed up Crystal Empire? Did Celestia bring it up there after it returned for some reason?

@Mio The episode took a long time having Discord dispatch the rest of mane 6 sans Fluttershy who ran away in time. I guess it thought the reason Discord clings to only Twi with his fake sickness before the reveal of actual reason is important.

@Mio: It's probably because they used "Discord bugs Twi and Cadance" as the summary. If it had just been "Discord is sick and being a douche about it", that complaint wouldn't be as common.

@Crow Yes, I got there from Canterlot. Then when I got out to deal with that purplestain, it was suddenly in Crystal Empire. I suppose even Celestia likes to randomly move things.

Only thing missing from this episode is another Cadance appearance without her singing.

#42600: Jan 25th 2014 at 2:25:00 PM

@J Teeth: Actually I remember many if not most of the summaries were about Twilight and Cadance meeting up. I think it really was people just waiting for Discord to show up. Really as soon as fans found out Discord was in it that was all many people cared about. It's really awkward being one of maybe five people in the whole fandom who doesn't like him when we get episodes like this.tongue
