OUR REVIEW:
Granamyr returns in this entertaining episode, as the threat of war looms over a fragile peace treaty between dragons and humans. While we wish the stakes felt greater, all the characters are solid here and the villian Morningstar is the true star of the show, visually and audibly a great foil to Granamyr. (8/10)

Tomorrow’s Episode is: “Time Doesn’t Fly”
Okay episode. Thing is I’m not that invested in Granamyr and his dragon side of Eternia.
Not bad. Not bad. It would have been better without Orko but I liked it.
This is probably my least favorite Granamyr episode – I enjoy that part of his appearances are evolving his personality as He-Man has shown him humans can be trusted, but he seems to have lost his normal edge in this, even when does have his magic. Morningstar makes for a good villain, but ultimately it feels like so much more talk of action than action in this episode. Also, crazy to think this is Granamyr’s one appearance where he’s not meeting a primary character for the first time.
3 stars. Fine episode but i feel like it’s diminishing returns with Granamyr.
@mrskeletor While I love this episode I agree. My three favorite Granamyr episodes are in the order they aired.
Morningstar is a great villain. You know he means business when he makes a deal with Targon and then immediately betrays him. Leaving him frozen is as good as killing him in Filmation.
