OUR REVIEW:
A worldbuilding episode that surrounds the bee people of Eternia (including the believed to be extinct Tycons), this story is strangely entertaining as it is awkward... especially when Orko's inability to read a recipe is what turns the tide. (5/10)

Tomorrow’s Episode is: “The Secret of Grayskull”
I like this episode, but definitely feel like it could have been better. I love that we get three season 2 characters in Buzz-Off, Webstor, and Kobra Khan, but none of them really get to do much. Particularly frustrating is Buzz-Off as this feels like an episode that should be centered around him, but he’s mostly just a background character, most notably blocking Skeletor’s first blast at the heroes.
While I also agree that the baking plot with Orko was a little out there, episodes like this is my favorite way to use Orko – comic relief, non-annoying, and doesn’t dominate the episode.
@battlecat327 I though Battle Cat was going to apologize to He-Man after he woke up from saving him but nope. Lol
@vintagetyler ha! I thought the same thing. I wonder if he was embarrassed after that because even though he’s mentioned, we really don’t see him again after they leave the room He-Man wakes up in, haha.
I liked it but I agree it was awkward. At first it was like those green bugs were eating machines that couldn’t stop.
I actually think this episode is awesome. 8/10. I really love seeing new things in Eternia like the Tycons and the Bee people society. It’s fun to watch Kobra Khan do his best Sssqueeze impression. I wonder if that’s where they got the idea for the figure? I’d like to know how the honey woke up the Tycons exactly. Was it the smell?
