S5E7 Make New Friends But Keep Discord
This one marks the first episode that I didn't see until this point of an episode rewatch, so it was my first knowledge of it. And that's going to continue for quite a bit, though I'll say the episodes I started a first time. This one however, wow. This one was... something. I'm finding myself getting real sick and tired of Discord's shenanigans, especially with Celestia enabling him. Hell I'm starting to to think Celestia on the show is insane. That last moment too felt like a diet version of the Best Night Ever, and honestly, that sucked. It really felt like it tried to heavily force the same special moment from BNE, and it just didn't work, because it didn't have the same episode development with the characters. It just had Discord doing what he always does. In fact, honestly that felt, if anything, like it was just shitting on the original gala episode. And with the bulk of the episode, like I said, Discord's shit is really getting tiring. My tolerance of him is really getting low, and it's becoming more and more questioned what the point of him is. The Smooze was forced in, and I never thought I'd find myself wishing for the G1 smooze instead. At least I finally got over seeing that "joke" where Rarity is naked, that always bothered me for quite a bit, and I feel like at the very least I can put that aside. But I didn't know this gets counted off as an episode where the Mane 5 get Worfed for something stupid when it was completely unnecessary. And then Celestia not being able to use her magic. This episode was definitely one I could have gone without seeing this one.
