OUR REVIEW:
The mystery of Stone City unfolds into an adventure surrounding a powerful hero named Vokan that looks like (perhaps intentionally) a "Vulcan" from Star Trek. Regardless, this episode leaves us craving for more of the charismatic new hero, plus Skeletor's last minute punishment of Evil-Lyn is devilishly fun. (8/10)

Tomorrow’s Episode is: “A Bird in the Hand”
I really like this one for the same reason you did. Vokan is the bomb. The way he took down Evil-Lyn, Webstor, and Kobra Khan was so boss and his voice was the best part. It pisses me off that Fisto got some weird reverberating voice while a one time character gets a great one.
@vintagetyler Fisto started out as a villain so I don’t think his voice would have suited him.
This feels like a season one episode in all the best ways. Vokan is amazing and almost as powerful as He-Man. I love how he’s manipulated to attack Castle Grayskull. I love when Evil-Lyn gets a chance to be the villian. I also love when she plans to keep the secrets of Grayskull for herself. I also love when Skeletor finds out. That ending get funnier everytime I watch it. 10/10
Really like this one.
Orko has random beef with Attack Trak.
When I first heard his name for a second I thought they said “Vulcan" instead of “Vokan". IDK I think with the pointy ears and black hair maybe it was an intentional Trek reference
I love Vokan because he 100% feels more or less like a complete parody of He-Man that you’d find in another show, down to having the same animations, you can even see the two same animations overlap a second delayed a one point (When the camera shot is of the both of them facing Evil-Lyn).
Also the iconic pose
I did not expect it to be here

@slycooperastroboy51 I didn’t remember the Skeletor meme pose came from this episode either. I thought someone made it up until a while back when this site reported on the pop figure.
@samuel I am waiting for the episode with the shot where he runs into a cave, the other half of “Skeletor will back with more disturbing facts" meme. I’m sure we haven’t got there yet.
@slycooperastroboy51 I’m PRETTY sure that’s in “Capture the Comet Keeper”, which is unfortunately one of the last episodes since Two-Bad is in it. But Skeletor is pure gold in that one
@slycooperastroboy51 Jeff Goldblum did it better.
4 stars. Great episode, best villan pairing (kobra khan and webstor) plot is interesting, great pace, extras are charismatic and skeletor is hilarious at the end.
