OUR REVIEW:
While the story begins excitingly enough with the return of Kothos in a surprise follow up to "The Witch and the Warrior", that momentum is gradually lost in this subpar sequel to a classic episode. Skeletor's willingness to give up Evil-Lyn is fun, but Kothos renouncement of his evil ways feels forced and way too convenient. (5/10)

Tomorrow’s Episode is: “The Good Shall Survive”
I’ve always liked this episode – for a show that is relatively light on continuity, I like how this completes a somewhat trilogy from “A Wizard of Stone Mountain" to “A Witch and a Warrior" to this one, while each one still being fairly self contained.
I think this episode is a perfect example of why we love He-Man and Skeletor are such great characters, from He-Man’s line to Evil-Lyn of “Use your magic to free me and my friends, and I promise I’ll rescue you from Kothos" (which Evil-Lyn immediately acknowledges is sincere) and Skeletor’s line of “To capture He-Man, I’d sell out ANYBODY!"
7/10
gotta wonder what Pathos’ guards were doing in his palace the whole time he was MIA?
*Someone offers Skeletor a deal*
Skeletor: I have of absolute no interest for the trade of four individuals.
*Hears He-Man is involved*
Skeletor: SOLD!
of wait, his name is Kothos. My bad, watched this with AirPods in a public space.
