Episode 75: Assault on the Hive

Only the vast reaches of space can contain all the toys and excitement in this week’s episode.

We’ve enjoyed several adventures since we last saw Sweet Bee, but her colony ship is only now departing Etherian orbit in search of a new home. Her people, the bee people, are pacifists, so they’ll need a planet that’s free of galactic strongmen – but good luck with that, because Skeletor has the colony in his sights!

Armed to the teeth, Skeletor, Trap-Jaw and Beast Man invade the colony ship and begin creating brainwashed troops for a bee army that will allow Skeletor to conquer Horde Prime and the entire universe.

Meanwhile, Sweet Bee catches She-Ra and He-Man up to speed, and they set a course for the stars, in hopes of rescuing the hive before it’s too late. They’ll need some help, though: We’ll meet Swift Wind’s celestial pal, Crystal Sundancer, and some spherical robots with animal heads – one of which He-Man befriends and commandeers for his fight with Skeletor!

Stay tuned also for a chat about the appeal of “griefing” and messing up other folks’ hard work.

Listen in as we join our heroes in a daring rescue of the bee people colony. We’ll try to understand our new space toys without contracting a bad case of space madness.
