OUR REVIEW:
When lifting a tiny glass dome unleashes an Energy Beast, this villian never feels as threatening as the writing tries to sell us. Orko retreads some familiar beats here and Teela still can't figure out Adam is He-Man in very obvious situations. At least we get the Road Ripper. (5/10)

Tomorrow’s Episode is: “Day of the Machines”
Good traditional He-Man adventure. Big stuff going on in Eternia, Skeletor has a big plan. Cute Orko shenanigans.
I thought the Raven that Skeletor briefly talks to was supposed to be the show’s version of Screeech but no he’s a robot in different episodes and this is just a random messenger bird. Thanks Wiki Grayskull.
Was it always a bird? It had a weird old man face. I thought more would come from it but nope.
@northerner You can give it a backstory in your mind. I like to do that sometimes. Let’s imagine that bird was an ex-boyfriend of Evil-Lyn. He cheated on her once and that was the last mistake he ever made.
@samuel Now that is a story I would like to see. Lol
3 stars. Pretty stock standard episode, not much of note.
I have so enjoyed this Watch-a-thon. I look forward to it daily. Thanks for doing it!
@chadgross Welcome to the watch group brother.
Thanks so much!
