I wonder how the writers will handle Discord from now on. When he was "reformed" by Fluttershy, he was kept in check (kinda, sorta) because he didn't want to lose her friendship. He was still a giant arse to the rest of the Mane Six, though, in a "I'm still going to try to get away with as much as I can" manner. Now that his redemption arc seems to be complete or almost-complete, where does he go from here?

There's little chance of Discord betraying ponykind again, but he still has to work on that "not being such a dick" thing.
Up to this point, his one-on-one interactions have been mainly with Fluttershy and Twilight. He could use some episodes to focus on his relationships with the rest of the mane six.
Wait... Discord, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie as prank buddies? I'm scared.

But yeah, so far he's been mostly interacting with Twilight and Fluttershy, so he definitely needs to branch out and interact with the others. And if Pinkie wants to take advantage of his candy generating powers well, I wouldn't mind.  |

Ehh. Not much I imagine outside of a cameo or two. Or at least that's what I think should happen.
They probably work him into a greater episode purpose somehow, considering how stupidly popular he is.

Discord should definitely be kept in 'reserve' like Cadence, to be used in openers, finales and one or two episodes a season. He works best in small doses. Maybe he could help her eat all the extra rock candy she made for Maud. Although...Discord hopped up on sugar? I don't wanna think about it. He could...but I was hoping more that he'd whip up some more chocolate rain, cotton candy clouds and popcorn fields for Pinkie to snack on. |

Gee, whatever for? That is all. You want Pinkie to lie on her back and get covered with creamy, creamy frosting? Kinky. |

Yeah, if he does show up outside of openers and closers, I'd think they'd focus mainly on him re-earning the trust of the other ponies. Fluttershy and, to a lesser extent, Twilight, view him as friends now, but AJ, RD, and Rarity are probably still a bit skeptical.

I think one episode to show the bridge building between him and the other four is both needed and all that's required. In addition to opener and finale stuff of course, and maybe the odd cameo here and there. |

I wonder if he'll have to prove himself worthy of Celestia's trust before she sends him on another mission?

Celestia: Man, just once I'd like to get a "hunch" about how to protect my country without bringing it to the brink of a major disaster.

I still want an episode about the princesses that doesn't involve saving the world. "Three's a Crowd" came close, but Discord screwed that up.
