Doctor Perseus Reviews: MLP S6E17 "Dungeons and Discords" *SPOILERS*

This was definitely an episode that I was looking forward to. I was in need of a good Discord episode since his last outing, What About Discord, didn't really impress me. Thankfully, this episode more than made up for that. So, yeah, I really liked this one.

Discord, Spike, and Big Mac were certainly an odd pair of characters to team up. But it all worked out splendidly. As always, Discord was as enjoyable and chaotic as ever. His interactions with everypony, especially now that they're all on mostly good terms, are always a joy. It was nice seeing him form a friendship with Spike and Big Mac by the end of the episode. I like to imagine that Discord will now become a regular member of "guys night" (along with Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie ). Spike and Big Mac were also a lot of fun as well. It was nice to get a look at the bromance they have that's been teased in previous episodes. And while she wasn't in a lot of the episode, I very much enjoyed Fluttershy as well. Her friendship with Discord has truly blossomed into an adorable back-and-forth. Discord and Fluttershy play off each other so well that I'd really like to get another episode with just the two of them.

Being a Discord episode, it was loaded with crazy imagery and fun references. Spike's Gandalf-esque persona, Big Mac's Dragonborn-esque persona, and Discord's Legolas-esque persona are of course easy references to point out. Discord's nickname for Celestia, "KK", is also just adorable. It only makes me long for a Celestia-centered episode that much more. The animation for the card game brought to life was also a lot of fun.

Overall, there's not too much for me to talk about in relation to this episode but I'm fine with that. It didn't have the heart and amazing world and character building of last week's episode; but it was still an incredibly fun episode with some nice moments for Discord, Spike, Big Mac, and Fluttershy. And, as always, I really hope that we see Discord again.

So what did the rest of you think of Dungeons and Discords? Do you agree with my thoughts? Disagree with them?

I beg to differ.

I also very much enjoyed this episode. I did not see Discord, Spike, and Big Mac an odd group of characters to bring together though. They were bringing together the most prominent male characters on the show. I go more into detail in own review.
