Thine Tiny Equine

So Discord is a Draconequus (Dra-kon-a-kwus) and he's one of MLP's actual gods. He's not an Alicorn or a pony, but he's immortal. He also has the power to jump between dimensions, but it just looks like teleportation if you're seeing it happen. It's why when he teleports there's a delay before he shows back up. He was trapped in stone by the elements, but there was no way to contain him otherwise. His powers are like a toon force, anything he imagines can come true. Even if it breaks reality. Celestia maintained her connection with the elements until Twilight's group earned them, but that means any long-lasting spells that Celestia cast with the elements started to taper off and lose their power. Eventually Discord had enough wiggle room (and a little bit of chaos from the CMC) to break from his prison. Discord isn't necessarily evil. He's just a being with a much different view on existence, just one that tends to be hard to live with for mortal ponies. Check out Discord by Eurobeat Brony and The Living Tombstone for some good songs! The TLT remix is probably the best one, and Euro made the OG

And we start Season 2 off with a bang, but also close out Season 1 in a way. So these eps are in an odd place, where they are the Season 2 premier, but they were written and produced as part of Season 1 and so act kind of as a better capstone to the events of the season then Best Night Ever, while also not really having much to do with Season 2. They also remain one of the best overall of the Season premiers, but that's in large part due to being written by M.A. Larson, while most of the other premiers are written by Meghan McCarthy and... we'll get to those..... So as to some of the questions that didn't get answered... Why bother with a dungeon? For one, they had no reason to believe he'd ever escape or that the spell wasn't permanent (Side note, I am baffled by how the fanon has collectively decided that Celestia and Luna lost their connection to/became unworthy of the Elements back during the whole NMM thing 1000 years ago, when this ep seemed to make it very clear that no, it was the Mane 6 taking them up that did it.) Secondly, what good would a dungeon do to a reality warper like Discord? Better to have him someone out in the open where you can keep an eye on him. As to Rarity not using her magic..... because Tom is freaking heavy. Again, always keep in mind Twilight is OPAF when it comes to magic, just because she can do it relatively effortlessly does not mean that anypony else can. We've never seen Rarity move anything nearly that heavy. That said, Rarity does demonstrate far more fine control and dexterity with her magic then Twilight does, we routinely see her manipulating multiple items in very complex patterns without even trying, while Twilight has raw power, but never really does anything fancy with it. Now to the Draconequis in the room, Discord easily the single most popular villain in the show, with only one other even coming close. A large part of this is because of the amazing performance of John DeLancie... and given you didn't instantly pick up on the voice and mannerisms, I cal tell you've never watched Star Trek TNG. Discord is, in pretty much all respects Q, a powerful being with the ability to pretty much alter reality how ever he wishes and a penchant for trickery and trollishness. Also because Lauren Faust outright said she got the inspiration for Discord after a TNG binge and wanted to do her own version of Q, even asking the suits if they could get a decent John DeLancie sound alike to voice him... only to be shocked when the response was "Well, why don't we see if we can get De Lancie himself?" His whole story because of this is it's own bit of epicness... Damn this was such a great episode, so many memes, so many bits of lore that snuck into fanon, like Screwball (The Earth pony in a beenie we see flying around in one scene.) To having canon 'evil' mirror personalities for the mane 6, which have been given the names Liarjack, Meenie Pie, Greedity, Flutterbitch/brute, and Rainbow Ditch. I could go on even more about all the great little details of this ep but, to sum it up... this was just the end of the begining and there are so many amazing heights still to see.

Now, here is the question.... did the CMC squabbling help free him, or was the weakening of his prison letting his chaos leak through to make them bicker like that?

I'm just parroting what I've heard someone else say but apparently Princess Celestia put a spell on Spike to be able to communicate with Twilight and that's why he can send and receive scrolls.

I think the comparison with you and dizzy here is that you both are fun loving goofballs. discord isn't evil he just enjoys being an utter troll to everyone even when it's taken as being harmful. as for him and flutters being together heh I'd say misinfomation to trick you. tho she is the only one not effect by his ways he had to manually turn her to get her to go along she is just so kind hearted. now you will see him later in the series their are a few flashback episodes so he's not gone but he's nothing you need to worry about.
