On an unrelated note to the Season 3 ennui... I wish Young Justice and FIM weren't on at the same time. Someone needs to give and move their new episodes to another timeslot. Where I'm at, Young Justice comes on 2 hours after MLP. 3 hours for me.

Gotta love Celestia's excuse: "I need him for something."Something that we don't even see. Methinks the princess has a crush. That or she needs to put on a lot of weight pronto and chocolate rain would help with that. I think we had enough Discord x Celestia ships after the season 2 premiere.

So, "Keep Calm and Flutter On"....8/10.
There were some cute Fluttershy moments and Discord for the first two acts was just a magnificent bastard and quite entertaining. Beaverton McBeaver (or something) was also entertaining and most of the episode was...nice.
The biggest dive of course was the ending. They built it up so nicely with Discord using Fluttershy to be free forever and staying evil after that, but then suddenly...face turn. It felt like the writers wrote a great scenario for Discord staying evil and then, at the last moment, Meghan said "Attention! We need to turn him face!" so that they hastily rewrote it. Also Fluttershy was a little too gullible looking at times.
Yeah, not outstanding, but it was entertaining for the most part...8/10.

This episode gave me two ideas however...
1. Discord: Oh, I need to find this Randy Orton fellow. I hear that he's going to the papers if he has to and I could always use some more.
2. I haven't heard a beaver use such foul language since Virginia from "Chatterbox".

And apparently HaxMega's account got a DMCA violation and was taken down.

Sibsy claims they can't read fanfics though They can't for legal reasons. Because if they did and used an idea, they can get sued for it.

I bet most of the writers would probably crap their pants with glee if the staff would use one of their ideas for an episode. I know I would.

It has to do with money.

I bet most of the writers would probably crap their pants with glee if the staff would use one of their ideas for an episode. I know I would. We could hope, but even if the writers did read the fic, they could say they came up with the ideas too. Given enough tweaks, it becomes a new idea
