Why not end the adventures of She-Ra and her Great Rebellion with a story about her loyal unicorn’s secret family?
This week, we’re reviewing the last produced episode of She-Ra, in which Swift Wind reveals that his mate, Star Wind, is pregnant with his baby. After trouncing a Horde patrol, he gives She-Ra the news, unaware that Imp is taking down all the juicy unicorn gossip for his friends in the Fright Zone. This baby news initially bores Hordak, but with some coaching, he devises a plan to kidnap “Star” and lure She-Ra into a trap.
This is a problem for Swifty and Star, because the birth must occur on Unicorn Island, or else the baby won’t be born a unicorn. And, if this conflict sounds kind of weird and problematic, then you’ll definitely want to join us as we sort through the absurdity.
I mean, we’ve barely scratched the surface. We’ll see stealthy unicorns, unicorn diving, unicorns in space, a Sea Fright appearance …There’s a lot going on!
Listen out also for our stories about pet birth, thoughts on a unicorn documentary, and a little singing that’ll give new definition to the phrase “Motown Filly.” (HORSE JOKE! Just horsin’ around over here.)
At the end of our show, we’ll discuss how the series wrapped, where it might have gone, and what to expect from our remaining episodes.
But our adventure isn’t over! Make sure you stay tuned during the next couple of weeks for our last review of “He-Man” and for our special movie episode, during which we’ll talk in depth about both MOTU series and fill you in on what we’re planning next for the podcast.
