OUR THOUGHTS:
An extremely well paced episode that impressively balances all characters involved, this tale's optimistic ending may not appeal to everyone's sensibilities, but we think it captures the heart of He-Man (and this series) perfectly. Also, from cute to frightening, Daimar's designs are terrific.(10/10)

Tomorrow’s Episode is: “Creatures from the Tar Swamp”
Random information. When I was younger, I was terrified of demons. And when I first saw this episode, at the end, when they say demons don’t actually exist, that cheered me up somehow. I was such an idiot. Random, but I always think of that when I see this episode.
Whooo! it took me 3 attempts with recaptcha but it finally let me in again.
I don’t know how a cute cuddly monster like that can turn into that terrifying turd from hell but they did it. It scared me big time as a kid.

Good episode.
Orko’s relationship with Daimar was cute even after he turned into a huge demon monster.
Gotta love how the book of spells is just a book with the word “magic" on it.
Also it’s one of those funnier tropes of someone giving a monster a “You don’t have to do this!" speech but I find it funnier because usually when that trope happens in media the monster is usually a mutated or transformed character that has a normal form but here He-Man gives the speech and Daimar just stays a beast, has a cute goodbye and peaces out back to the still-called Dark Dimension
Daimar the demon is so cool. I don’t how he grew that big so fast but I love it. This is one of those episodes that teaches you that no matter who you are you can be good. You can be a giant demon and still choose to be be good. Only in He-Man could a demon be good. This episode is perfect 10/10.
You see a demon I see a poop emoji 💩

4 stars. Great Orko episode with a great moral in the end. Daughter is pushing me to give it 5 because she loved the friendship in it.
