Episode 30: The Stone in the Sword (Lightning Round #2)

While Hordak is flying up, up and away in his beautiful Doom Balloon, Adora must complete a trial to repair her sword – so she can turn into She-Ra again and rescue Bo from a Horde prison. For the first time, we get a good look at Light Hope (who is much harder on Adora than than Sorceress is on Prince Adam), and we take a peak at the Crystal Castle (now available in your 1985 Sears catalog). All our characters are here, even if they’re a little loopy, and they’ve never looked so good. For some reason, we’re seeing some cell shading and some cape billowing. We also chat about lizard care, toy fabrics and get a snake update. Our dog also has something to say. We all had a lot of coffee.

Lightning Round #2:
This is also our second-ever lightning round. Get your fill of Orko’s uncle, He-Man dressed as an old lady and Bo’s first song.
