The Season 2 Pilot may very well be the best episode(s) yet. Yay or neigh?

@tenmihara Yay! I want a Discord Plushie!

@pinhooves @macpony55 Discord Plushie would be pretty awesome; but all things consider it really falls into a tier of it's own compared to the other episodes. Between the nerd in-jokes, some superb dialogue, and a dark edge that far surpasses the S1 pilor

@macpony55 I was originally worried considering Faust's diminished role due to the fact that making the show as awesome as possible while still being (at its core) a girl's show was her big wish. Soon as I saw the leaked Discord Clip, my fears were abated. (Me: Discord looks funn- OMG It's Q!)

@macpony55 I think it'd be safe to say everypony was at least a little bit. However, many were ready to point out that the show was a team effort, and in the end Jason didn't let us down ^^

@macpony55 As well, we can consider that after a successful first season, they had laid a good foundation, and now have room to build upon it ^^

@macpony55 What surprised me most was the darker edge Return of Harmony had over the S1 Pilot. Mind rape resulting in a complete deconstruction of pretty much everything the first season established and a sadistic villain with enough power to scare the horseshoes off Celestia\

@tenmihara I did find it a lot darker, Discord was given much more time to take control than Nightmare Moon was given

@macpony55 Not to mention his downfall being a hard subversion of 'Defeat Means Friendship'. He even said 'Friend me' right before they blasted him XD
Wednesday, 28-Sep-11 04:05:28 UTC from web-
@tenmihara oh yeah, he did. I do wish he had at least tried to stop them though, maybe a battle scene where he uses some of his chaos to attack them or at least try to use something before becoming overtaken by the Elements, the overall plot was fairly simple and this was the one area I though could have been better

@macpony55 It really came as a result of him being too smug to think his handiwork could be undone. He was still under the impression Applejack was a liar by his making and didn't think the mane cast actually had the ability to stop him until it was too late. He did however try to yank the EoH away anyways

@macpony55 Besides, he made short work of the mane cast in part 1, so they just returned the favour with as much dramatic irony as possible

@macpony55 It's all good. Happy to bring new perspectives on perceived shortcomings =D

@macpony55 TV Tropes is a great resource for stuff like that; it'll set you straight on which literary devices are being applied and where ^^

@tenmihara I did look at the first half of the page a few weeks ago. It definitely showed me a lot of things I hadn't seen before but I need to finish going through it.
Wednesday, 28-Sep-11 04:39:22 UTC from web-
@macpony55 I encourage it ^^ Discord even filled out an entire page on his own
Wednesday, 28-Sep-11 04:39:55 UTC from web-
@tenmihara That's awesome, well I'm off to bed, nice to have an actual talk about ponies on a pony site, night!
Wednesday, 28-Sep-11 04:41:39 UTC from web-
@macpony55 I need sleep too. night

@tenmihara yay. Discord's shuffle made it all up for me
Wednesday, 28-Sep-11 03:48:21 UTC from web-
@chillman23 That was pretty awesome, yet all of the nerd in jokes and referential humour remain subtle enough that those unfamiliar with the source material would completely miss them
