This episode features Discord hanging out with Spike and Big Macintosh. That is a premise where it's just impossible to not have something good come out of it. The male characters are so enjoyable if only because that's the gender of most people who watch this show, including myself. The opening scenes are really some of the funniest moments the show has ever had. I went nuts when Discord put everything in a negative to show how opposite Fluttershy's idea was. Fluttershy then acts opposite of herself and yells at Discord. The three male characters play a parody of "Dungeons And Dragons". Hey, didn't "Gravity Falls" use this same plot? Alex Hirsch and Lauren Faust really ARE close.
I just loved when the action finally started. Yes, I do admit this could have been done better. It should have been the focus of the episode. It only has a third of the plot, but it still happens. It's especially bad that it ends right when Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash join in on the fun. The animation is as wonderful as ever. It's just hard for them to ever make a bad episode. Why does everyone hate "28 Pranks Later"? ***1/2
