Reactions:
– Unwatchable.
– Baby Roe grows big from the water, but needs a potion to revert back – which doesn’t work!
– Contradicts itself, creates plot dynamics then undermines them. (I.E.: Who can talk to Roes? How magic from the geyser wares off. Orko’s inability to grasp that he can defy gravity.)
Memorable Moment
Danavas twice has a 180′ attitude shift.

Reactions:
– No saving graces. None.
– Everything is horrible.
– Villain’s power is…???? Never uses any.
– Worst disposable villain ever – so bad the editor should have disposed of him on the cutting room floor!

Memorable Moment
Teela reminds Orko that he can levitate – ya know…his fundamental mode of transportation.

Reactions:
– He-man pixlated the planet!
– Almost a “1”.
– Only saving grace: highlights more cultures.
– Almost everything else is a joke.
– Technotheism should have been saved for another episode.

Reactions:
– Zigon the rhino is STILL better than Rhino from Amazing Spider-man 2.
– Literally “jumps the shark rhino”
– Lame. Not boring, just uninteresting.
Memorable Moment
Man-At-Arms and Teela have their own fight scenes!
Trinket
Reactions:
– Odd Star Trek opening.
– Nice uni-brow, Rago.
– How does that thing make turns?
– Making their own god? What?
– Why are the adults having such a hard time in the Vine Jungle when the kids slip right through?
– While the tribe leader’s voice isn’t good, it isn’t obviously a main character’s.
– If Zigon the rhino wasn’t in this episode, it would be MUCH better!
Memorable Moment
Suspenseful cliff rescue.
