Is this the best episode of He-Man? Opinions vary, but one of them is correct.
At last, we get too see Orko’s homeworld. In Trolla, everything is backwards: fish fly, trees are upside down, and He-Man changes back into Prince Adam!
But not everything is whimsical in this magical land: Trolla is under siege from a nasty, muscle-y winged beast called Dragoon, and a female Trollan named Dree Elle tells us that only Orko – the Greatest Magician in Trolla (TM) – can save her people.
We discuss tiny He-Man, Duncan’s listening skills, Trollan courtship rituals and the Eternian fitness regimen of Bruce Lee.
