OUR REVIEW:
Garth from the insect people is back! Yet, the writing is different (for the worse), Garth sounds different (for the worse) and the insect people look different (for the worse) with strange googly eyes. Speaking of eyes, the line of vision characters have during conversation is repeatedly off. Not a strong effort. (3/10)

Tomorrow’s Episode is: “The Gambler”
I really don’t like this episode – yet again another Orko screws everything up episode. Plus we’ve gotten to the point where we’re getting these episodes of Beastman and Trap-Jaw being so incompetent you wonder why Skeletor keeps them around.
They also don’t pair up the characters in an entertaining fashion – some of my favorite episodes are when He-Man is paired up with Cringer/Battlecat and Orko, because they have a lot of personality. We spend the majority of this episode with Man-at-Arms, Teela, Garth, and an Orko who acts like he’s about to fall asleep, which makes for a dull combination. Meanwhile He-Man and Battlecat spend half the episode pushing boulders up a mountain. Definitely not one of my favorites.
Eh episode
I lowkey forgot who these moth and bug people were and questioned how they knew Orko until they mentioned Garth showed up and was like oh yeah that episode happened.
I’m sure the flower woman may have been a prototype/early rejected design for Perfuma.
I thought the same thing.
Stinky episode.
