I liked the new episode, but I felt like it was a mixed bag. On the one hand, I love the concept of a D&D episode, but I felt like it was poorly executed. The episode felt like it was 2/3 setup. By the time they actually got to the point and Discord put them in the game, I looked at my clock, and it was already 22 minutes into the episode. And then they went to another commercial break. Then they had to pack the fun part, the conflict, and the moral into about five minutes, and then a minute

Was different from what I expected.

Was not disappointed.

I'm so happy to see more of Discord being Discord, and the return of his 'scary voice'.

It also gives me more fuel to write things that contain him.

And I can't wait.

As a story about Spike dealing with his celebrity status, it works well enough; it's certainly better than most Spike episode in portraying him, and I'll say the new writers did a better job with the characters than a lot of other new writers this season ("pen pal quill set", anyone?) But the

I'm attacking the DARKNESS.

This week, Hasbro teases me by putting a Wizards of the Coast IP and card games in the episode. Just not at the same time.

Quite a fun episode, the script was fantastically written. I got quite a lot of good laughs from this one, although the moral lesson had definitely stepped out of the spotlight.
