OUR REVIEW:
While it's back to the arena once again, this time it's a swordless Prince Adam that has to survive the games. While the Game Master is a decent enough villian, Teela confessing how she feels about Adam and He-Man, laying down a foundation for their relationship, is perhaps the highlight of the episode. (7/10)

Tomorrow’s Episode is: “Golden Disks of Knowledge”
Did anyone else think of Princess Leia and Chewbacca in Return of the Jedi when Orko brought Cringer to the Game Master?
@he-mayon Thats funny maybe that is where they got the idea.
Average episode. It was fun to watch but kind of forgettable.
I love this episode primarily because of Teela. Lois Lane had the same attractions to Clark Kent and Superman and it makes their relationship really interesting. The rest of the story is great too. I love He-Man in arena battles and this had Prince Adam and Teela fighting too. What else can you want? 8/10
Liked this episode but don’t really have much to say other than I think it was a nice change of pace to have Adam be himself for most of the runtime.
4 stars. We have had a good run lately. Fun monster designs, high stakes plot, and good teela stuff. Better than average.
