OUR THOUGHTS:
While the villian Dragoon needed a better script to flesh out the character and give him actions that don't feel ripped from 1982's "The Dark Crystal", visiting Orko's homeworld Trolla and learning some of their cultural customs is worth the price of admission. (7/10)

@he-mayon @johnnyotool @vintagetyler @dgsimo @anneela @slycooperastroboy51 @orcdawg @mrskeletor @kinggrayskull09 @battlecat327 @cosmic I have a lot of catching up to do.
@samuel Thanks my bro!
This is a classic episode because of Dree Elle. She is so sweet. I love how that getting engaged is showing their faces to each other. I never heard of anything like that in fiction before until this show. It’s beautiful. Excellent 9/10.
@admin How does it feel like a Dark Crystal rip?
What Dragoon is doing to the Trollans is what the Skeksis did to the podlings (but only G rated 😀).
Good episode.
I really feel like I can only rate these episodes either Great/best, good or mediocre. idk.
But this episode has some nice worldbuilding and how it shows Orko’s homeworld.
Adam has a funny drawn expression at the beginning of the episode. idk just felt like pointing that out.
I feel at the end with how they phrase the Trollan custom of “showing your face to someone you love"……yeah they do compare it to a proposal….but it sounds like an innuendo and the writers knew that.
Also unrelated side note: Today the pieces of s**t at Netflix said they’re gonna remove She-Ra 2018 off the service in a few months and as of now there’s no news article about it on this site. Just notifying.
@slycooperastroboy51 The face covering just reminds me of the middle east. At least in this the males are covering their faces too.
Glad we are back. I’ve been keeping up.
This episode was just okay. The best thing to come out of it is Dragoon’s creature design. It’s bad ass.
3 stars. Fun to see adam have to not rely on being he-man, and trolla had good world building.
