   I saw a single clip of Discord. Or a very good prank, I'm still not entirely sure. Probably not, and I'm going to have to see ep201 before I decide whether to panic or not. It's all in the presentation, after all. I wouldn't have cared if NMM was more of a buffoon in execution, she still pulled off presentation awesomely.

      @mrn4rmn4rm Au contraire! Anypony who knows John De Lancie knows exactly who Discord is based on >3

      @mrn4rmn4rm There's a bit more to it than that, but anyone familiar with Q's character can see a great deal of it was carried over into Discord, whether by the writers or De Lancie himself =D

      @mrn4rmn4rm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeLrqLP1DJk&feature=related He's also fond of secret tests of character, although I can't say for sure that Discord is the same <.<

      @mrn4rmn4rm Tone of voice, somewhat whimsical use of his omnipotence, the desire to 'play' with protagonists as opposed to fighting or arguing

      @mrn4rmn4rm As you should; Q was one of, if not the, best part(s) of TNG. I don't doubt that this was intentional, considering they specifically got De Lancie to provide the voice for Discord.

      @mrn4rmn4rm Doctor Who > Star Trek for sure on the whole, but Q episodes usually come close to the level of enjoyability of the Doctor, unlike most of Star Trek, which is made to look boring by comparison.

       @mrn4rmn4rm Indeed he does; he also likes to make strange noises with his mouth =P
