See, I've always been under the impression that Discord is not completely reformed because of his aside at the end of his reformation episode when he says he'll keep his chaotic nature under wraps most of the time. Trolling seems to be an outlet for his chaotic nature, but after having complete freedom then imprisonment and then being expected to only use his chaotic powers when the other ponies say its OK or he'll be put into stone again if he messes around too much--I can see why he [Spoiler (click to open)] went with Tirek and betrayed the ponies. That and he thought he was in a partnership, so he probably thought he'd be able to keep Fluttershy and the other Mane 6 to troll with. I really wish we had a Fluttershy and Discord episode to bring to light Discord's struggle with being so restrictive with his nature and to explore their friendship post "reformation", plus show a bit more clearly that he isn't totally reformed.
Maybe next season we'll have more beat-um ups, but I liked a lot of the day-to-day lessons because it brought in a wealth of character and world development. That and it made sense considering the keys.
