We have the Power!
I've always found this to be a more forgettable episode. None of the guest star heroes or villains are particularly interesting, and the story feels like it drags several times.
The one thing I give it credit for is the way they weave the moral into it. It doesn't always work in my opinion during the episodes they really go heavy handed on it, but I feel like it does here - You clearly understand why Orko says his first lie, and then his moral struggle as it keeps going, very good acting by Lou here.
Is it me or this latest stretch of episodes painful?
Season 1 > Season 2
2 stars. The origin of the lie and doubling down was good, but the rest is dull. The king has the worst voice acting ever.
After firing on all cylinders we are definitely hitting bit of a rough patch.
