This was an odd episode.
Twilight's slow-building jealousy was really kind of hard for me to watch.
I'm really surprised that the show referenced the movie What About Bob? of all things. Twice, even: aside from the title, Discord's life vest-and-blue-shirt ensemble was something Bob Wiley wore in that movie, too.

Yeah, this one was just weird. There were a lot of bits where I wasn't sure if they were trying to be funny and falling flat, or if it was intentionally awkward to highlight how Twilight doesn't know what the deal is. Looking back on it, I think it's the latter, but it's still weird. And it sort of felt like they couldn't make up their minds about how intentional Discord's trolling was.
That said, I do like that he's clearly still a jerk, and they pretty much nailed the "inside jokes that are only funny if you were there" feeling, which I've been on both sides of. It's also fun to see Twilight's bookish neuroses come to the forefront.

A friend elsewhere said that Discord was bullying Twilight, and it just now occurs to me just how right that description is. "Congratulations, Discord, you're the new Diamond Tiara!"

That actually does make some sense, now that I think about it. They really need to crack down on him a bit more.

"What About Discord?" is an episode that happened. Yup.  |

Watching it now, very late. I see time travel being mentioned. Foreshadowing!

I feel obligated to post this episode of one of my favorite abridged series, because the opening scenes do a very good job of capturing how annoying it is to be on the outside of an in-joke, while still being actually funny.

Being on the outside of an inside joke is the worst.

I know right?
I like how discord is still a jerk. Every group of friends has that one person who's like that.

Didn't Dash already fill that niche?

She did at the beginning of the show, but she's mostly grown out of it by now.
