OUR REVIEW:
Where driving off a cliff is apparently no big deal, this average adventure where Prince Adam, Cringer and Orko head to Morainia continually left us scratching our head. What was the purpose of showing Man-At-Arms' new invention? Did Princess Janice see Adam transform? Did Skeletor quickly give up because he knew the episode was running out of time? Plenty of questions that we don't mind passing on the answers. (5/10)
Comment, Review and Discuss below:
Tomorrow’s Episode is: “Things that Go Bump in the Night!”
I had the same question AJ. Princess Janice tells Adam she loved the way he boxed up the monster in the tunnels but he was He-Man when he did that. I do like this episode. Princess Janice isn’t annoying at all and very helpful. Skeletor was funny and I liked the playfulness of King Randor in the beginning. 7/10
Definitely a middle of the pack episode, although I do always find it fun when the use the trio of Adam/He-Man, Cringer/Battlecat, and Orko, their personalities make it much more entertaining.
Also kind of like “Origin of the Sorceress" this seems to be one that took a little longer to finish – it was part of the “Season 3" US episodes and uses a fair amount of background music that mostly doesn’t show up until the end of He-Man and more commonly used in She-Ra.
Average episode.
I gotta wonder how Skel chooses his crony group posse for the week? Wheel spin? Pulling 2-3 names out of a hat?
The kids weren’t as annoying as the kids in the earlier episodes. That’s the only compliment I have.
3 stars. Mediocre episode, not much to say about it really.
