I watched it not expecting much and honestly, I'm actually enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would.

Season three has dropped. A bit underwhelmed with this one, not as strong as the last two volumes. I will say it's worth watching for episode six alone. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}The story plays out more like an RPG video game than a real drama, with the characters going to certain stages, achieving goals, battling 'bosses' etc. The Snake Men are utterly wasted as mindless grunts and don't have their own hierarchy or anything, no King Hiss, just a giant snake god they all merge into, and once Adam destroys it with Havoc, that's pretty much it for them
Krass' heel turn doesn't ever live up to it's real potential either, they keep everything contained to just her and Adam and Teela and Duncan are kind of left out of it, even Cringer who helped raise them in the Tiger tribe doesn't get to do much in the way of interaction with her. Krass also acts far less of a jerk in her private moments than she ever used to before her corruption
As I said above, Episode Six is my favourite of this run, A lightweight comedic 'filler' with Ork-O trying to cure Adam of his Havoc infection. The 'real' Orko shows up and there's cameos from the Revelation team in a rather funny scene
Sequel Hook: Hordak appears in the closing moments of the finale, revealing to Evil Lyn that he is her father and to ask she become a herald to the advancing Hoarde
A complete list of Pros and Cons
Pros
-All of Episode Six for sure, a nice break from all the more intense goings on, with fun easter eggs and the welcome appearance of the one troll Trollan. -Krass turning out to be less of a jerk even when acting like one. -Was that Alan Oppenheimer as the possessed King Grayskull? -Sticking to the original origins of The Sorceress for once -The final battle and Adam's choice on what to do with Skeletor -The reveal of the toilet (this will also be a con) -"Daughter"
Cons
-An awfully rushed exploration of Eldress and Teela's connection and resolution of their relationship. -Not much interaction between the corrupt Krass and the remaining Masters (or even Cringer for that matter) outside of Adam -Havoc He-Man largely played for laughs -The absolute waste and wasting of Mer-Man -Waste of the Snake-Men, they're just mindless grunts, we don't get a whiff of their hierarchy or even their motivations in the war. -The plot is more like a video game than a focused drama in places (not all of it though) -Stratos and the other allies don't get much screen time outside of a quick pep talk to Havoc Man -What was Evil Lyn attempting to do with Krass? -Some of it did feel like product placement (well duh...it is He-Man) -The reveal of the toilet (this will also be a pro)

Finally getting around to watching season three, finished the first five episodes.
Man, I remember practically nothing from season two. Who's Justine again and what's her deal with Tri-Klops? Is she a prisoner or a volunteer or what?
In episode five, did they get a new voice for Gary? He doesn't sound quite like Bobcat Goldthwait. He also only has one line and Goldthwait seems like a pretty high profile VA to only bring in for one line.
