OUR REVIEW:
Perhaps Skeletor's most impressive plan to conquer Castle Grayskull, the star of this episode is actually its spectacular visuals, a true feast for the eyes. The astonishing way the threat is resolved keeps this episode from reaching perfection. (9/10)

Tomorrow’s Episode is: “A Tale of Two Cities”
Like this one.
I suddenly find it fascinating that in most media pre-late 90s the term “other dimension" was depicted more like trippy wormholes and things like that and not today where it’s alway depicted as part of a multiverse and all the characters have various counterparts.
This was a good episode. When I was watching it all I could think is it had to be an expensive episode. They made all those trippy backgrounds that were never used again.
I really liked this one. The psychedelic backgrounds are fantastic. Is no one going to comment that the Power Sword almost killed Teela? The premise is great but I looked up white holes and the science is off. White holes don’t suck in they push out matter from the past like a time reversed black hole. Although, It’s all hypothetical so who knows.
4 stars. Good to see skeletor finally on the throne of greyskull. Fun ep.
