I also just last week decided to see what the hoopla about this show was, so I watched the entire series up to this point, didn't take long.
Its good, its not a grand epic show, it lacks any great story arcs, and its pretty much reset at the end of each episode
But its still a good show, its lighthearted and humorous. Plus it has a good message about friendship without being too preachy or needing to do the whole 80's "Knowing is half the battle route".
That being said, I also wonder why people are that obsessed with it, its a good show but not good enough to warrant the near obsessive following it has.
I did enjoy the casting of John De Lancie (Q from Star Trek) as Discord, as a Trek fan I thought that was a stroke of genius
