I'll be sure and NOT miss it...it's so auesome...two great shows on the same day...He-Man and TMOTU, then later on, Justice League! How cool is that?!

[Retan]

TMOTU= Teenage Mutant Oracle transforming Uterus?

[Retan]

Oh "the master of the UNIVERSE"


My bad on the last post!!

[Achika]

Why is it also on at 5:30? Not that I'll miss the PPG but I was looking foward to new DBZ today.

[raykremer]

Well, I liked it. Another half-decent evil plan from Skeletor, so we're doing okay on that front so far. Pretty cool to see large numbers of people from Stratos's and Buzz-off's races. The Buzz-off character design update is also very good.

[JTurner954]

I didn't like it too much. I didn't care about these two groups and if they fought or not. I just wasn't into it. I'll give it another try on Saturday though, but for now I am giving it 3 stars (I did not vote yet).

[JohnStewart-GL]

I liked it. Teela got to fight more in this ep than she did in last weeks.

[g x]

I really enjoyed it, although the ending was a cop-out. It was pretty cool to see Skeletor winning against He-Man for once! And he got to use the sword!

[Obi]

Nothing great today. Skeletor starts a small war so he can steal some honey and gain a new suit to sell toys.

B -

[Chris Sanders MSX]

Nothing too great, nothing bad either. I think those toys of the Skeletor "Ambrosia Power-Up" toys would be pretty cool.

This was a good episode, loved the action but it'd be better if they started atleast doing 1 or 2 episode story arks.

Oh and one other thing, Are there alot of green tigers in the world where they live ? I mean Skeletor instantly thought He-Man when he said a man with a green tiger. I mean it could of been Adam.

[Link1130]

I didn't think this one was as good as the movie or the 4th episode. There was so much time spent on the imminent war between the..... eh.... forgot their names..... the bird people and the bee people.... that I completely forgot about the honey thing until the end. And the super strength thing didn't last nearly long enough. It would have been better if He-Man and the Masters of the Universe had to figure out some way to beat Skeletor and Co. or figure out how to reverse the effects of the honey....

[Clayface]

I absolutely loved this episode (just like I've loved all the others so far)! I can't tell you how stoked I was to see a redesigned Buzz-Off! He was one of my all-time favorite characters/figures from the original show, and I was pleasantly shocked to see him show up in this episode. And it was prettty cool to see the "Deluxe Skeletor" show up in the episode too.

[JustJack]

Last night was probably the first time I've actually "gasped!" And it was when I saw Buzz Off! Hahahaha. I just remember seeing those Bee-men, and I suddenly sucked it all in and went *gasp!*...hahaha....I found that to be funny.

I missed last weeks 'Courage Of Adam', so I was EXTREMELY pleased to see it being re-aired. And it was a good episode as well. And this episode didn't fall short, either.

I did kind of get the "toy commercial" feeling, but that's o.k. It was handled pretty well. If Skeletor can turn Eternia against itself in the first place, then those wars of eternia just gives him less work, himself. And he also used it to gain extra power, only to lose it and get his butt wooped. Nicely done.

Although this is the first time where a characters name has made the show 'weird'. Buzz Off....the leader of a group of bug people is named Buzz Off. Funny...that name neeever bothered me when I was a kid...but now...all of a sudden..."Please stand for your lord and master....BUZZ OFF"....it's kinda funny.

YO! Mattel!! Time to release a Buzz Off Action Figure!! OOO YEAH!

[Orko]

This episode was ok. I was laughing out loud for about a min or 2 at the " you're well groomed, love the hood " line by Beastman, it was hilarious. But the problem about this episode was that, THERE WAS NO ORKO!!! WHY!?? ...........

Or was he in this episode, I missed the begining. Sorry if I went overboard.

[Sandro]

This was an okay episode but all these episodes just seem like they are longer than they actually are (which annoys me to no end). Skeletor had a decent plan that almost worked; imagine that.

Yes...there was plenty Orko in the beginning. And there was a really classic feel to Orko's comic relief in this episode...sure, even a little orko is more than enough orko(I don't like Orko), but still....it makes me grin at how he acts just like he did 20 years ago....

[Digu Volz]

It was okay, ***. There was something about it that bugged be, though, whether it was execution or pacing, I dunno. The fight between He-Man and Skeletor was also a bit... disappointing compared to what has been.

[BlackCat]

This episode was a good follow-up to The Courage of Adam, but not as good as it. There were a lot of good things going on in this episode, but it didn't have the same feeling that was there with the previous episode.

I did like the dispute with the other kingdoms of Eternia and at least it was already developed a little instead of it popping out of nowhere. I loved the return of Buzz-off, and his schemes like redubbing the Randor speech to both groups. I'm glad that Teela played a bigger role and is still nagging on Adam for what happened. I liked when He-Man surprised her while she was training. I really love the interaction between the two, and I waiting to see how Adam will handle that. The Ambrosia-powered Skeletor, Evil-lyn, and Tri-Klops were great, and Skeletor got his first real beating from He-Man.

A good episode but not great. 3.5/5 stars.

I loved this episode and felt it was a tad better than "Courage of Adam." It was really exciting to see Buzz Off, completely took me by surprise that he was in it. I had no idea his people were called the Adrinids. Stratos was expected as many have guessed, and I liked seeing his world and his people as well, it gives me more info about what Eternia is like.

The highlights of the show:
-When Adam tells Cringer to get lunch with him, and Teela smirks at his behavior... that harks back from the original series. Adam was always thinking with his stomach.
-King Randor calling Man-At-Arms Duncan. It definitely gave the show a more personal feel and showed that the friendship between the king and his right hand man is a strong one.
-The rivalry between Skeletor's minions is great. That subtle glance Evil-Lyn gave Beastman was a nice touch. A small gesture, but it shows so much of who's who in Skeletor's club. I also liked how Beastman talked back with his "You're Welcome." He even knows he does a lot for Skeletor, but is unappreciated for his efforts.

The chase scene in the jungle was pretty cool. I also liked Skeletor and He-Man's battle at the end, especially He-Man's "I thought you couldn't get any uglier comment."

Answering Chris's question about Cringer, I think it is assumed there is a species of Eternian tiger. In the original series, cringer was an orphaned cub found in the wild by Prince Adam when he was only a boy. As for assuming about a "green cat," I think Skeletor has established that Adam is a weakling and his pet tiger even more so that they wouldn't try to meddle with him.
