Discord really should kind of apologize. Only improvement I would’ve made for this episode.

That part where Trixie received a call from the banana phone under her hat and not knowing what Long Distance Plan is a nice touch to a testament of the lack of technological development compared to their human counterpart.
 
The banana is a reference to the 2018 re-release of Nokia 8110,

After second viewing i can see exatcly where the problem lies. The wirter and director didn’t conveyed very well that Discord is hurt or cared about being a part of the school. So the ending doesn’t feel like Starlight need to apologise or that it was really what Discord wa all about. Pissing on Fluttershy in the beginning was also out of place and shoudnt even be in the script even if you desperatley need mane6 to be gone. Its like making Spike getting rid of Rarity and Twilight because writer want a solo SPike and Smolder episode. Either think of something that make sense or start from a scratch.

Spike flies so much that it really makes the line “You’re the new Rainbow Dash” hilarious in hindsight.

I stick by my original observation. The PoV was from Starlight’s perspective instead of from Discord’s. We’ve seen him insecure and sensitive before but this story didn’t have enough material to make it personal and resonate with viewers. All the screen time was wasted on cameo after cameo of characters that weren’t even relevant to what lesson they were trying to convey and then Starlight drops the obvious in one line.
 
Smartest people are the kindest people who know how to sense others feelings by reading between lines.
