OUR REVIEW:
An odd tale about a young Prince who joins Skeletor to...wait for it... overcome his fears, this nonsensical episode can wear on your patience (something Orko can't do to the Royal Family apparently, no matter how chaotic the circumstances.) The story does gradually improve as time progresses however, but we still can't recommend this one. (3/10)

Tomorrow’s Episode is: “Three on a Dare”
I’ve always liked this one, Skeletor is on fire the entire episode, from being insulted when the king accuses him of having his son (when he did), to blaming Clawful after he broke his own viewscreen. It would have been interesting to see what Webstor was supposed to do since Skeletor call him by name.
I read once that Cringer was supposed to give Adam the Power Sword to transform when they’re in the forest, but I’m glad we got the transformation that we did – definitely different and raises questions but a much more memorable way to do it.
Mediocre episode
What kind of name is Glitch and why do him and his dad look out of place in this show?
Also immediately when dad gets there the first guy he trusts is the guy with a skull despite his suspicions
Is it me or does Marlena’s voice sound a bit off in this one?
@slycooperastroboy51 Lou Scheimer’s wife Jay sometimes played Queen Marlena when Linda Gary was maxed out. She was limited to three characters an episode per union rules.
I know. Let’s team Skeletor with a kid. Kids will love it. Wrong. Really lame episode.
Meh
3 stars. The evil wareior stuff is fantastic and saves the episode, as the rest is junk. Would have made more sense for glitch to not be a human. There is a good idea for an episode in here, but it fails in execution.
