Powers of Grayskull
Black Snow and Anchors Aloft Parts 1 & 2

About this Episode
The time has come execute order 66 This is optimus
solo and welcome to the 66 chapter in our powers
of grayskull series with me For this journey
into the 66 masters the universe franchise is
TF2 and Mike. Hello Stormtroopers run Yep, be
aware be be aware So are you ready to get further
into the miss of aetheria sir? We have before
this episode begins We're down to the final eight
episodes of season one. So yeah Three here, three
next episode, and then two after that, and we
will be done with season one, so are you ready?
It feels like we've been doing this forever.
I know He -Man took forever, because shit was
going on back then, but it just feels like She
-Ra season one has taken forever. And we've only
been doing this since the 30th anniversary last
year. We started this last year, right? Yeah,
that's like... We've been hitting the metal.
I mean, we put pedal to the metal and all that
jazz or whatever the saying is. But it does feel
like it's a long road. No matter how fast we've
been going, it's a long, long road. Why do I
have... Methods of Mayhem's crash in my head.
I never know why anything is in your head, so
don't ask me those questions. But in this episode
of Myths of Etherea, we'll be giving you our
thoughts on Episode 58, Black Snow, Episode 59,
Anchors aloft Part 1, and yes, Episode 60, Anchors
aloft Part 2, our one and only two -part episode.
So we hope you're ready, because it's time to
go back to Etherea. And now, ladies and gentlemen,
Yellow Snow. It's something frightening He's
got no other place to go Yellow snow, yellow
snow, yellow snow And he doesn't show signs of
What's all this about, Frosta? Come, I will show
you. Greetings, Empress. The View Crystal is
prepared as you ordered. Thank you, Captain Bronn.
She -Ra, this is Captain Bronn, leader of my
warriors. Captain, gaze into the crystal, and
you will see the problem. The snow! It's black!
That is Galatia, land of the Selkies. Black snow
fell there for three days, ruining the crops
and causing the animals to grow sick. The Selkies
blame this on us, but if you ask me, it's only
a trick. They just want an excuse to start a
war. We have no proof of that, Captain Bronn.
They didn't need proof to accuse us. Enough!
If we are to avoid war, we must keep our tempers
under control. Forgive me, Empress. Why should
the Selkies think you did this, Frosta? We and
the Selkies were enemies for many years. We made
a truce when the Horde came, but I fear there
is still much mistrust between our kingdoms,
and the Black Snow did not fall here. I bet this
is horde work. I agree. but the silkies will
need proof that my people are not to blame and
i'll help you get it yellow snow brown snow black
snow who knows what what is this black snow worst
title for a show ever i like it it's like purple
rain turns into black snow or something like
that um anyways episode 58 black snow air date
of tuesday november 26th the 1985 written by
larry datilio black snow has fallen on glacia
land of the selkies does this does anybody even
know what cartoon we're talking about with that
intro it's all these weird foreign words here
it could be anything i want to read this all
again here because it's a lot of different names
black snow has fallen on galatia land of the
selkies who blame frosta and seek war with the
snow kingdom Frosta and She -Ra set out to uncover
the truth behind the bad weather. So, we have
a Frosta -centric episode all about this black
snow and the feud between Frosta snow people
and the Selkies. What did you think about the
setup for this Frosta episode? I like it. I think
it's cool. I think, you know, you've been, you
know, saying for the last 65, well... Since episode
46 or episode 48, you know of the show when are
we gonna see more frost? I wonder we're gonna
say I'm this is the whole episodes all about
her and her kingdom fighting some other Narwhalian
Kingdom, who knows maybe other other badgers
on the walls over there who knows huh? It's one
of those things where I thought this was cool
I thought this is great that we finally get to
see frost in more than just Hey, I'm gonna make
it snow for you kids. You can slide down the
mountain, right? Or or that one time she showed
up at what's -her -nuts is castle the other one
I don't think she had nuts, but created the snow
wall It's well, it's when she it's this episode
is better than her original appearance of oh,
hey I'm just gonna make snow so you can slide
down the mountain and then the other appearance
she had was the When she showed up at Ca - when
she was leaving Castaspellas. Remember? When
she was like, oh hey yeah, bye! It's like...
What the hell, Frosta? But yeah, no, I thought
this was cool. I thought it was great. Um, it's...
As I'm watching this, I'm realizing it's your
standard 80s... Lesson episode about you know
being able to listen to other people and Allowing
people to be heard and that kind of thing and
not going to war over stupid stuff like black
snow and What I find interesting is in these
three episodes today that we have We have a bow
impersonator in this episode, and then there's
no bow at all no Rebellion at all in any of the
other two right? Yeah, and this one we have Hordak,
Imp, Modulok, and Multibot. And then we have
Sheeva, Frosta, and Swiftwind with the guest
characters being King Narwhal like you talked
about, Captain Bronn, West, and some selkie people
and some snow people. But yeah, not a lot of
Rebellion going to be featured in today's episode.
So Modulok... Like I said, like I said, Captain
Bronn is essentially Bo. I mean, really. He's
not as feminine. Well, no, but it's Bo's voice
actor. It's it's the Bo voice. So It's essentially
Bo. Yeah, but yeah What about you? What did you
think overall? If you're telling me that we're
gonna get a plot or a story that's gonna kind
of get more into Frosta and What she is about
I'd be all about that. So I mean on the surface
level it works I guess I didn't really realize
that there was going to be more I didn't realize
Frosta kind of had her own people in her own
kingdom I just kind of always thought she was
just a friend of everybody else and kind of part
of the rebellion with some different powers But
I like seeing this other side where we get to
actually see where she comes from who are people
are who they're kind of a little bit of a history
lesson for their you know these groups that are
feuding over the years and stuff like that so
I like the plot for this one I'm on board I am
too all right well we're gonna take a quick break
and when we come back we'll see what stood out
either way for this episode good and bad he'll
keep the rest of the pack from attacking until
I can cure them too oh good I do not like fighting
innocent creatures. And when we find the ones
responsible for this wicked snow, they will answer
to me. Hmm... Thrasna and She -Ra. I compute
that this means trouble. I must inform Modularc
immediately. Multi -Bot calling Modularc. Alright,
for the first time today we find ourselves in
Whispering Woods to talk about the good things
about black snow. Is there any good thing about
black snow if you come across it, Mike? Just
don't eat it. It's not good for you. It's not
good for you. But what did you like most about
the black snow? All frost all the time. That's
some cold hard slag. Are you crossing genres
and... Of course, you always gotta frost the
streams. Oh lord. I mean, no, like I said a minute
ago, I love the fact that we have an all -frosta
episode, that it's just Frosta and She -Ra. Sure,
I'd love to be able to see some of the other
Rebellion members, but I don't think, I think
it's a good thing that they weren't here, because
it would take away from spotlighting on Frosta,
her people, and the, you know, because the whole
point is, you know, for the show at this point
for us is what other worlds or what other areas
of the world of aetheria are you going to show
us and that's what they're doing here uh and
i really did like that um i completely forgot
multibot worked for modulok but i was like hey
multibot at first i was like wait too bad no
that's not too bad right uh and then um modulok
and shears exchanges are just great they're just
hilarious Yeah, there's quite a bit of comedy
in this episode for sure. Yeah. What about you?
I mean, it's cool seeing, like I said, Frost's
people, her army, they even call her empress,
which I thought was something I'd never really
considered before. And I like that there's this
feud between her and the Silke's or her, the
snow people and the Silke's kind of adds another
layer of history and another element to it. I
thought the character designs in this episode
are just great overall. The howlers or howler,
the animals at the beginning. Uh, even the selkies,
even though they're kind of like a weird, you
know, whatever they were supposed to be, uh,
I just liked, I liked the overall designs on
everything. And I didn't realize not only that
multi -bot worked for Moduloc, but that Moduloc
created multi -bot. Yeah, I didn't, I either
forgot that or never knew that, or we've already
had so many episodes that I've just had stuff
slip through the cracks, but yeah, Moduloc created
multi -bots, so. Thought that was interesting.
But I mean, overall, D is an episode. But there's
not a lot I can list here because there wasn't
like wow moments. I mean, the wow moments were
pretty much like I said. Mean we finally got
close I mean the wow moments were pretty much
frost is character development and you know Developing
her story arc as far as her having a kingdom
and all that the other moments I could really
point out honestly is anytime multibot talked
really or he was doing something when he gets
broken to pieces That's yeah Yeah, so I mean
that's about it as far as the stuff that stood
out for me What about any moments that didn't
work for you in this episode? There's only two
but and I wrote the first one down before The
final bits of the episode, okay? They start this
off and I don't I could be wrong. You can correct
me. I don't remember shut up from the beginning
to the about the midway point when something
crashes into the Fright Zone. She throws the
weather machine in there, she does something.
I forget what She -Ra does, but we end up seeing
Hordak, because I wasn't sure if we were going
to see Hordak. So from the beginning of the episode
to that point, had they ever said that Majulak
was still working for Hordak before we saw Hordak?
Because before this, the whole first, I'd say
the first 15 minutes of the episode... I was
led to believe that Modulok and Multibot were
on their own, not working for the whole world.
Oh no, that's exactly what I - I got the same
feeling. I kind of thought the same thing, like,
uh, like, uh, like we talked about, like, one
of those characters that kind of is bad, but
maybe on his own, somewhat. Yeah. Yeah, so. Because,
the less we knew, I mean... Modulac got promoted
back from Horde Cook to Horde Scientist, but
now it's like, oh hey, yeah, no, he, whatever.
Another thing I had was, it's just a standard
message of listening before acting and that kind
of stuff, it's just your standard. And I don't
mean that to say it's bad. I just feel that this
episode, like we said a second ago, there's nothing
here that made us... Stand up and cheer or write
a note on our notes with like 20 million explaining
exclamation points after you know, it's a very
Average episode I'd say Yeah, I mean I'm gonna
fall slightly above average I guess but I agree
with what you say that You know, there's really
nothing to write exclamation points on from a
negative or a positive standpoint for me Yeah,
I mean I literally only have one negative note
and it's not a really a negative note It's just
because we've been keeping track but a new one
sword to magnet and line So I'm in another one
of those classic sword moments, but there's really
nothing that stood out that I dislike. That's
why I'm going to fall on a little bit more on
the positive side of average. Even though there
wasn't stuff that stood out, there wasn't anything
that angered me. So not that we're giving away
our ratings too much. But we'll be right back
with our official radians and well if don't you
want to mention the oh, I'm sorry the PSA Don't
don't you want to mention the Scott and T Bob
like PSA precautions to getting sick the wear
your coat PSA That remember every time your mom
told you to wear your coat now. You got your
cartoon characters telling you to wear your coat
mm -hmm, so you know I keep looking at Lukey
and Recently well by the time this airs I might
still be doing it, I don't know. This year, as
we've been producing the show, as we've been
going along, I went back, and this is all TV's
Mr. Neal's fault, I went and found on YouTube
the whole score to Sonic 2, and I found a watch
through of Sonic 2, and of the whole game, and
I watched through the whole game, and I'm like,
today, when I was watching this episode, I'm
looking at it, and I'm looking at Lukey, I'm
like, Holy crap. He's a multicolored tie -dye
version of tails from Sonic Obviously Sonic came
after right? Okay, but still Interesting to look
at our side by side of those guys Alright, so
wear your coat guys and put it on because it's
gonna get cold I guess but we're gonna give our
first set of hardware out as well as our ratings
For the black snow you gotta wear your coat in
the black snow It ain't no chocolate chips, no.
Or yellows, no. Ew. My instant blizzard has blinded
them. Now to smash Frosta up with a little whirlwind.
Alright, Mike, I know you're chomping at the
bit. Your first opportunity to give out any hardware.
Do you have any protection swords or horde bats?
On further reflection and looking back at it,
I have to give a horde bat to Captain Bow, I
mean Captain Braun. It's like... Alright too
much like I know that Most of the voice actors
back in the day each voice actor was only allotted
three voice roles or three characters In one
show or one episode or whatever else and I am
sorry Well, yeah, well, I honestly I would have
rather have had an orko sounding voice for Captain
Braun than than Bo's voice Mean really because
I kept thinking was oh, it's just Bo being Bo
again Protection sword I'll give a protection
sword to Frosta and Shira because I enjoyed both
of them in this episode and I will also give
a protection sword To the misadventures of multibot
because he was hilarious rummaging through the
remains of your season one hardware as you run
very close to being out of protection swords
with eight episodes left. I'm just kidding. I
will give one more out to Frosta as well. I completely
agree. I did like multibot, but Frosta is the
only one getting any hardware from me in this
episode. And like I said, nothing stood out,
so I'm not going to give anybody a horde bat.
What about Crystal Castles? How many do we have
for this episode? Three and a half. Wow. We start
an agreement I'm also So I mean I was gonna give
it a three But since we talked it up a little
bit and we talked I talked about multibot a little
bit I gave it a half point just because of multibot
honestly because of the comedy with him Yeah,
and like I said, it's an average episode But
it's just just slightly to the positive side
because there was nothing really that pissed
me off So I got to give that some kind of credit
for not pissing me off It's a feat Not many people
are capable of it. So three and a half in agreement
from both of us for Black Snow. Apparently, it's
not as bad as it sounds. So I'm gonna take a...
The internet is going to explode now. Pretty
much. So we're gonna take another quick break.
When we come back, we start the first of our
only two -part episode, Anchors aloft. Over sailors,
the clouds are our home. ever to sail the Stratos,
Adora. And with the finest captain. Oh, no, Adora.
The finest captain in the world vanished 20 years
ago. You remember him, Sren? Aye, Captain, the
Falcon. I was part of his crew for many years.
A great man and a great pirate. He had some wonderful
magic weapons, but his greatest strength was
in his heart. He was a good man. Did you know
him, Hawk? No. He vanished when I was very young.
But I wish I had. He, uh, was my father. Oh.
A great man. He'd capture the whore tax galleons
and give the money back to the poor. And as a
result, he was poorer than anyone. Well, I've
learned better than that. Look. Gold. The result
of years of plunder. I'm a pirate to take gold.
Not to give it away. Sure you are, Hawk. Then
why are you delivering rebel supplies for free?
I'll help the rebellion because I hate the Horde.
But if I see a chance for plunder on this trip,
I'll take it. Captain, look! A Horde tax galleon!
Give me that glass. Right you are, Swin. A fat
Horde treasure galleon. And from the looks of
her, she's loaded to the gunnels with gold. Next
up today is episode 59 anchors aloft part 1 and
for our purposes today we're actually going to
talk about both of them simultaneously rather
than kind of reiterate a lot of the same things
since they're basically the same characters same
storyline etc so 59 part 1 aired Wednesday November
27th 1985 part 2 aired the next day Thursday
November 28th 1985 they're both written obviously
by the same person Bob forward I guess not obviously
sometimes we do see that split up but the same
author on both parts of this so seahawk flies
right into admiral scurvy's trap and goes down
with his ship having made sure adora and his
men are safely away hawk awakens on a mysterious
island that harbors a very special treasure that's
one of the worst plot synopsis i've ever read
Anyway, and then of course, Admiral Scurvy has
captured Adora and takes her to the Fright Zone.
Seahawk is reunited with his crew of sailors
and asks Swinn to restore the Falcon's old clipper
to use as their new ship. That's a bunch of hogwash,
but anyways. Where did you get these Placidopsises?
This one's terrible, but basically here's how
we do it. All right, we're reunited with Seahawk,
Swinn, and the crew. All right, we've seen them
multiple times so far, recurring character, and
this time we're gonna get a little bit more into
the back story. of Seahawks so and by the way
we're gonna do that is we're gonna introduce
this Admiral Scurvy character who is a horde
not really I don't feel like he's an actual horde
member he's not a horde member he's like a he's
like I wouldn't even know I wouldn't even hear
something like Would say he's more like a horde
contractor. Yeah. Yeah, it's like a contractor
for the horde So anyways, so he's kind of like
the typical pirate to kind of counteract Seahawk.
So Obviously, he's gonna be trying to capture
Dora do different things etc but the main gist
of this plot is that Seahawk is Going to be confronted
with his past and we're gonna learn some more
about his His father and some things like that.
So It's wrapped up in a two -part story, but
that's the main purpose of this whole two -parter,
is to see more about Seahawk, where he comes
from, and kind of where he gets his traits, et
cetera. So, we have some Horde captains, which
are different than Horde troopers, because they
have a little different getup. We obviously have
Mr. Scurvy, Admiral Scurvy and his cat, Squall.
And then we just have She -Ra and Seahawk, his
mate, Swen. Somebody called Falcon and of course
Davy Jones does not look like I thought he was
going to look So sir, what did you think about
a two -part episode getting into the backstory
of the Seahawk I? Like that it got into the backstory
of Seahawk I had a note later, but I'll bring
it up here it felt like and again I know this
came before what I'm going to reference but The
whole time I'm watching this two -parter, I felt
like I was watching Aladdin and the King of Thieves.
Because it really felt like the whole story of,
oh, the son who is slightly questionable, and
yeah, he's a pirate, but he has morals, but his
morals can skew either way, and then the long
-lost father thing, and I'm like, oh my god.
Luke, I am your father. Yeah, well, you know,
there is that too. It was that hardcore as we
continue to try to make more Star Wars references
on He -Man and She -Ra than I ever realized existed.
Well, they essentially took its twin children,
and Skeletor is essentially Darth Vader, and
Hordak is the Emperor. Even though Hordak sucks
and Darth Vader killed him, or Skeletor did in
that video. Wars so yeah, but I mean there is
definitely last time we've talked about the lightsabers
and things like that They've shown up and now
we have an actual like I'm your father line in
one of the episodes So kind of crazy there, but
I like the idea of seeing more of Seahawk I don't
know if you were gonna tell me we're gonna have
a two -part episode in Princess of Power and
It's not gonna be about any of the rebels. It's
not gonna be about any of the horror members.
It's gonna be about this recurring side character
I would have been like that seems weird Do you
remember off the top of your head how many we
had in He -Man? No, absolutely not. I would have
to look in my notes and stuff like that for that,
but it's just kind of a weird choice for a two
-part episode, but I'm all for seeing some more
backstory of people. We got a little backstory
for Frosta, now let's get some backstory for
a random character, but... See how it really
isn't random. I mean, not random, but you kind
of know what I mean. It's not like one of the
things. I don't know. I'm gonna kinda get into
it a little bit without getting into the actual
moments, but I'm interested to see what your
take is on this one, because I was a little underwhelmed
by this as a two -part episode. Like, we got
a two -part episode, we have recurring characters,
we have Bob Forward, and I just felt like I wanted
something more than what we got. Yeah, it doesn't
seem like Bob, you know, I've never talked to
the guy, I wish we could, but... I mean, it just
doesn't seem like his early work, his early writing
is as good as some of his later stuff. Like,
anything he did in, you know, Beast Wars or Beast
Machines or whatever, it's a hell of a lot better
than some of the stuff he's done here. Yeah,
I mean, I don't know. Like I said, I don't know
if it was just because the bad guy didn't really
work for me or if it was just because we didn't
get any huge revelations outside of a little
more information on Seahawk. We don't have any
Horde members. We don't have any rebellion. So
I'm just like, I just wanted something a little
bit more if we're going to get 45 minutes worth
of episode. So that's kind of my thoughts on
that. But we'll save the specifics for right
after the break as we get into the Whispering
Woods and the Fright Zone moments for both part
one and part two next. Before we get there we
do have go back to tales of a turn go back to
powers of grayscale episode 21 folks The house
of shibubu parts 1 & 2 or house of shakodi was
the only looking at the schedule for us House
of shakodi parts 1 & 2 were the only two -parter
in he -man and I'll say this right now. I Wish
they would have made more two -parters. Honestly.
Yeah, there wasn't a big thing back in both series
Not just he -man, but in both series, right?
Because in a series like this, that really isn't
about continuity that much. It's more episodic.
The place that you are able to get some continuity
and some longer storytelling is through the two
-parters, the three -parters, et cetera. So it
would have been fun, but it just really wasn't
a thing back then on these series. So unfortunately.
All right. Whispering Woods is calling. Nobody's
answering. We're answering. No, we're not. We'll
be there shortly, Woods. That's not a tiger joke,
is it? No. Is he still relevant? No, he's never
been relevant. You insolent rodent! We find ourselves
in Whispering Woods for this two -parter. What
did you like best about part one and part two,
the whole Kit and Kaboodle? I liked it. You know,
cool that Seahawk is back. I hope people, when
they saw this episode, got this vibe, because
as soon as I saw Scurvy, I'm like, hey, it's
Dr. Claw as a pirate. Mean, I know technically
they're probably homaging Blowfeld from from
bond with the cat thing or you know, obviously
dr Evelyn come around yet But I swear as soon
as I saw scurvy with the cat. I'm like damn.
Dr. Claus a pirate. What? It's a pirate's life
for us. Yay One thing I noticed about this and
you'll be happy about this, but I was kind of
almost missing it Every single emotional ending
scene that seemed like it went to a commercial,
I expected characters to have that one thing
that you absolutely hate, and there were none.
There are no single tears on anybody. You know,
these people, these animators, love that stuff
back then. I was half expecting every time that
happened to have a single tear effect. I thought
the cliffhanger between the two -parter was nice.
It was like, yes, yes, I am your father, Luke.
They should have just named him Luke. That's
the Seahawks' real name. Maybe it is Luke. For
part two, the only thing I wrote down was I do
love Seahawks' character growth. And then, hey,
look, a Tom and Jerry episode in She -Ra. Yeah.
That goes right into one of mine, because I thought
Davy Jones was great. I thought he was great
as a character and the fact that he was being
a smartass was kind of something we haven't really
got too much of in the series. I mean, we get
comedic bits and then funny people and characters
that provide humor, but we don't really get a
lot of smartass like sarcastic remarks. So I
did like that about him. And I thought Erica
Shimer was good as Davy Jones. I thought it was
like one of the best characters she's done that
just seemed like a natural voice for her. So
I like that. I liked the voice work on Skirby
too, even if I'm not really sold on him as a
character overall. And I thought there was some
interesting predicaments they got themselves
into. For example, Seahawk goes back after Adora.
After She -Ra has saved everything and they're
all safe and he's like, well, we can't leave
Adora So he goes back for her and then it leaves
She -Ra in a position where she's like, well
shit, but how do I do this? I got to go back
somehow and be Adora so he can find me so thought
that was interesting the I have the Luke I am
your father part and My last moment as far as
whispering was I thought it was an interesting
twist in the second part of it where a character
comes in to kind of Basically may lays all the
the horde troopers and just kind of takes care
of business and it's and it's Depicted in a way
that it looks like the Falcon. Yeah, and it's
not and I was not expecting that twist Yeah,
I thought that was cool. I thought that was a
cool way to bring back Seahawk to the characters
in like in the moment in the story. I thought
that was really cool. The other thing Was oh
crap damn, I just lost it. That's all right You
know to you know to taking my father's ship and
then everything else No, you must use this seashell.
It was blow on the seashell to open the door
Like I said, you know before it's like With Davy
Jones, you're right. I do like that. But at the
same time I look at it and I'm like Davy Jones
really I'm just waiting for a locker joke at
this point You do not like the small diminutive
characters. Do you know it's fine. I like him.
He's cool I'm just saying the fact that they
had to name him. Oh, yeah Davy Jones, you know
like just waiting for a locker joke Yeah, I get
that for sure as far as bright zone moments.
I don't have very much. We had another sword
to moment sort of harpooned this time and uh
I There's some bad writing as far as the lines
or the dialogue at one point scurvy in this in
part two is just like oh Seahawks gonna win this
and that makes me mad. It's just like yeah, what
that's the best you come up with but Nothing
that really pissed me off. The only thing that
somewhat Minorly irritated me about this. Like
I said before is that this is the two -parter
we get Yeah, and I want something more. Yeah,
the one thing I wrote down For part two specifically
is is it just me or is this villain just really?
Boring. I mean this guy he doesn't do And okay
at the beginning when they get the new ship in
in part two when they get get the father ship
and have the solar sails and they have the cannons
on it and everything else yeah in the beginning
scurvy's ship is is basically out gunning them
and nearly destroying them but after that it's
like he's he's just another bumbling idiot of
the horde it just i think that's what my problem
was is he i just found him as a boring character
overall i wish they would have done a two -parter
with um general sunder or um that What was the
other guy's name blast or something like that?
Like we had a couple cool somewhat horde like
villains a little bit ago like was under the
one that turned That was bad. It turned good.
Yeah, let's have a two -parter on him If it's
gonna be someone that's not in the rebellion
or not in the horde What was the PSA for part
one? We have two PSA. So the first part is about
friends Friendship being better than money. I
guess is the gist of it like you know, about
gold and searching for treasure and maybe it's
trying to relate to different things. I don't
know, but it's about friendship meaning more
and something like the whole you can't take that
with you type PSA. And then part two was the
winners never cheat. Cheaters never win. Yeah.
Cheating is no good. Don't take shortcuts. And
yeah, winners never cheat. So what did you think
about the PSAs overall? That's about I'm kind
of over. You're over 80s PSAs. Yeah, I'm really...
There will be no podcast on the GeekCast Radio
Network that is strictly about PSAs, guys. No,
not at all. Maybe one episode. One episode that
highlights all the different characters that
give it to us. Maybe maybe one episode of geek
cast radio the flagship podcast we can spend
30 minutes Just going through every single PSA
and ripping into shreds, but yeah, no, I mean
don't get me wrong I understand why they were
there. I you know, I get that it was the 80s
They needed that in order to get some of these
cartoons on the air. That's all well fine and
good but Maybe it's us as adults looking back
and just shaking our heads because some of this
stuff our parents I'd already taught us or we
were learning it as we were watching these shows
Maybe I don't know. It's just 80s PSAs are just
oh All right. Well, we're gonna take another
break when we come back. We're gonna give a double
dose of Havoc staffs No, just kidding. Hordebats
and protection swords. I want to give a havoc
staff. Can we get another crossover with Skeletor
and some cool characters? A double dose of Hordebats,
protection swords, and crystal castles coming
up right after the break. It's a double dose
of hardware to give out on this episode, and
even though there's a double dose, I'm not giving
much. It may sound weird, but I really don't
have much to give out on this one at all because
it just is kind of there. I mean, I maybe could
stretch and give one to Seahawk and Falcon, but
maybe Davy Jones would be a nice smart ass, but
none of them just really tipped the scales and
went overboard to make me want to give out anything.
So what about you? Yeah, no, not at all. All
right Two -part episode and we can't even give
out one protection source That is a testament
to how disappointing this episode is even though
it's not a bad episode. It's not bad It just
could have been way better What do you give this
one? Give let's give a series of ratings. What
do you give part one part two and then overall?
Too much numbers for you. I And no, it's not
too much, but they're the same rating for both.
What do you give it? Both get a two and a half.
I mean, I love the character growth for Seahawk.
I love the snarkiness of Davy Jones, but the
story and the villain and the there was no high
stakes. They didn't, you know, they made it sound
like, oh, my God, he's dead. He's dead. And then,
hey, you know, here comes his dad. but it just,
it didn't feel like, okay, and again, we all
know that He -Man ripped off Star Wars, but it
did not feel like, Luke, I am your father. No,
it did not feel like that at all. It just felt
like it was the, Fievel the American Tale has
more emotional impact than this two -parter.
I don't know where you came up with 5 -0, but
I like it. Does he use a mouse and Davey with
a mouse? Come on, now. I agree with you 100%,
and that's weird to say, but yeah, I mean, it's
just, man, the story's not good enough, the villain's
not good enough, there's not enough anything
besides a cool couple characters on the good
side, and I do like seeing Seahawk as a father.
I mean, we know he has a father, but you know
that... There's some things there and some past
and whatever like I guess that's kind of cool
But you got to hook me to make me interested
in that in the first place. I'm just not like
I like other parts of Seahawk better. I like
it more when he's Helping with other things.
I don't know. I just just a point We didn't even
really talk about the other big elephant in the
room. There was no elephants in this episode
Yeah, there was I saw no elephants The love affair
between Adora and Seahawk gets cemented in this
episode, in this two -parter, because he kisses
her twice. Yeah, getting it off. So, you know,
we're gonna have little Sheerahawks later. He's
gonna have to find out eventually But if you
if you if you mate with her while she's a Dora
you have different kids and if you mate with
her So anyways, I'm right with you here I'm gonna
give a three out of five for both episodes just
slightly above you only I guess because it's
a two parking partner and we get some backstory
not like Davy Jones But it's not a good episode.
It's not a bad episode. It's just kind of disappointing
overall It's probably the highest score I'd ever
give an episode that I'm qualifying as disappointing
That's it we're gonna take a quick break when
we come back we'll give you our thoughts on the
myths of aetheria so far and Preview three of
the final five episodes in season In the previous
episode the Seahawk ship was destroyed by the
evil Horde Admiral scurvy Believing the Seahawk
to be dead, Scurvy imprisons Adora and the Hawk's
crew. But the Seahawk is not dead. He has been
led to a secret cavern beneath the island where
he discovers his long -lost father, the legendary
Falcon. Now we continue with part two of Anchors
Aloft. Yes, Admiral. Is Adora's horse aboard
the Dreadnought? Yes, Admiral, in the brig. But
that doesn't leave much room for other prisoners.
No matter. I have no wish to fill my ship with
these pirate scum. We'll send a prison ship to
pick them up later. But now, the sea may have
taken a sea hawk. But I have Adora, leader of
the rebellion, as my prisoner. Thank you for
calling P -Harmony, the service that matches
you with a podcast that best fits your interests
and needs. I really hope you can help me because
I have had no luck finding the perfect movie
podcast that gives me everything that I want.
Well, that's my job. What are you looking for
in the podcast? Well, it needs to be a movie
podcast that covers old and new stuff, one that
reviews movies but also talks about movie news,
discusses new trailers, and is willing just to
have fun with some crazy movie games. Maybe even,
you know, like the occasional top 10 countdown?
Oh, and it's gotta be a podcast that is willing
at times. to delve deep into the careers of notable
directors and speak to all movie fans, from the
general audience to the hardcore cinephiles.
Wow, well, that's quite a resume you're looking
for. What do you think you're regarding schedule?
Monthly, weekly, daily? Weekly, of course. All
right, well, let me crunch these numbers in our
patented podcast matrix and see what I can find
for you. Wow, I don't believe it. What is it?
We actually found the perfect match. This almost
never happens. Really? Well, dreams do come true.
What is it? It is the Cinema Geeks podcast, of
course. Well, that sounds perfect, but we're
going to hook up with such an awesome podcast.
Well, you can find it weekly on iTunes, Blockhog
Radio, or geekcastreader .com. Awesome. Podcast
marathon here I come. Another satisfied customer
brought to you by P -Harmony and the folks over
at the Cinema Geeks podcast. All right, we are
back here on myths of aetheria order 66 or episode
66, whatever you want to call it There's no Emperor
here. Sadly, it would have might have made the
episode actually better if there was an Emperor
here There was an Empress or an episode one of
today. We had an Empress Prosto Oh Yeah, she
She was an empress, but she wasn't very childlike
so there is no next chapter for that never I
literally was just watching that the other day
That girl ended up doing nothing ever again really
she was like a foreign I can't remember which
European country she was from or something, but
yeah, that's all she ever did really She just
now started getting back into things like some
20 years later. Whatever it was She -Ra Season
1. Still have a few episodes to go. It hasn't
closed out yet. We've only gone through 60 of
the 65 episodes. No, no, no. I know. I know.
We've got five episodes left. But I'm saying,
like, these five episodes better be better than
these three episodes. And we were on a high.
I was running high on the last couple. Yeah,
it were. And then these three just dragged it
down. Hey, don't worry. I have a lot of hope
here coming into next week's episode. You know
how I said Lukey Lends a Hand was one of my most
anticipated episodes? Episode 61 is probably
my second most anticipated episode. I can't wait
to watch that one. Alright, so just to give you
folks a preview of the end of Season 1, we've
got Dark Smoke and Fire, Magikats, and Flowers
for Hordak in the next episode, in Episode 67
and Episode 68, which will be our Season 1...
kind of recap. We'll also talk about Wild Child
and the Greatest Magic. I'm not saying much about
Wild Child and Greatest Magic, but the combination
of Dark Smoke and Fire and Flowers for Hordak,
I am pumped for because... You know we have to
talk about the other flowers thing, right? Flowers
for Algernon? Because that's all I can think
of. Well no, but the reason I'm bringing that
up is because there was a specific... toy character
that I remember being of a choice for you to
buy that we haven't seen yet. And if she doesn't
show up in Flowers for Hordak, I would be surprised
because that is what she's all about. And we're
going to have a return. I've seen some of the
bits and pieces when I did my script, and I don't
know if you've seen it or not. I hope you haven't.
But we're going to see the return of a character
we've seen before that I can't wait to get your
reaction on. Well, I mean, it's it's dark smoke
and fire. How can Granamare not be there? I mean,
I don't even need to see anything. You say dark
smoke, you know it's Gran Amer. Can't wait to
see that one. Yeah. Thank you for listening to
