1.) I forgot you can go a while without seeing anyone who has a penis in this show. There's Bo, with his heart power, Hawk, who shows up guest-star like, and then the Hoarde, with Hordak and a few one-off male villains, but so many women.

2.) Adora is ridiculously competent. It's a big difference from Adam; a huge difference between this show and most is also assumed competence. In general, women aren't assumed to be incompetent until proved otherwise. All the leaders of the Rebellion, except for Bo, are female. The main antagonists, except for Hordac, are female. The leader of Hordac's forces was first Adora and then Catra.

3.) The village men don't wear pants with their short tunics. I have no idea what to make of that. But--there they stood, on a ledge, pantsless, throwing pies? Or barrels?--at the Horde soldiers. I mean, some men did wear pants, true. But I am still thrown by Men Without Pants Fighting Horde.

4.) Seahawks' battle with Catra is never not hilarious, jftr.

5.) "Roll me in butter and call me a flouder." Oh SeaHawk. Just. I love you.

6.) She-Ra's transformation is still the most awesome, between her dual mantra and her tranformation combining dual loyalties to both Eternia and Etheria.

I missed this show so much. Though I think the eps are out of order, because I swear there was a special ep meeting Frosta.

7.) The Missing Axe - Extremely Muscular Man Without Pants Wearing Unitard with Cut Out Sides--y'all, I owned that bathing suit.

How did I never notice the epic pants issue?

8.) I KNEW IT. This is so out of order its' ridiculous. Anyone know where an accurate episode guide is?

I have been super wary ever since I saw She-Ra was available at Amazon, because it's She-Ra and I would not have its awesomeness diminished by no longer being pre-pubescent. Then my niece craftily slipped it into the X-Box and suddenly I was watching the first week-long beginning and it is still awesome. Secret twin sister! Moral ambiguity! Flying unicorn companion which hello, not only is Adora able to capture He-Man before she was She-Ra, when she's She-Ra, she can do everything He-Man can do while wearing awesome heels and rides a flying unicorn.

Let me just say this again. She rides a flying unicorn. Just. I cannot imagine how this show could be more awesome.

Noted, however: I now get why Adam and Adora have different mantra to become their superpowered (WITH MAGICAL FLYING UNICORN!) selves; Adam was raised a price, lazy, a little self-centered, and maybe a little spoiled (and considered by some quite useless), so he calls on power; Adora was raised and trained by the Hoarde and was instrumental in some of their conquests and enslavement of Etheria's races; honor would be more important to her.

It was like seeing old friends; the Sorceress and Teela and Glimmer and Angella and Catra of the awesome eyeshadow and Shadow Weaver, who really needs her own evil army because Hordak is just not very great at it, and Bo and some other random villains and soforth.

And Spirit the flying unicorn. Just. Yes.

*hands* Happy.

ETA: Tygress links to gorgeous She-Ra artwork here by nebezial. Holy God, yes.

That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...
Wow. That was scary. Lex is like Jesus in the desert.

Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"

It's weird, after you get used to the affection you get from a rabbit, it's like any other BDSM relationship. Only without the sex and hot chicks in leather corsets wielding floggers. You'll grow to like it.

Rule 3. Chemistry is kind of like bondage. Some people like it, some people like reading about or watching other people doing it, and a large number of people's reaction to actually doing the serious stuff is to recoil in horror.
