Episode Summary

Prince Adam, Melaktha and Moss Man set sail on an archaeological expedition to the lost island continent of Avathar. When exploring the ancient ruins of the island they come across its legendary mirror, which holds all the greatest knowledge within its glass. They load the mirror onto the ship for their return journey, but its safety is threatened by a disguised Trap Jaw spying on them, and a storm at sea.

  • This is the second episode after "A Bird in the Hand" to portray Melaktha ridiculously out of character. Once again he is depicted as being stupid rather than wise like in his early appearances, and throughout the episode he spouts out countless insults towards Moss Man, which are almost racist. []
  • How many times have we seen in not only this episode but others where He-Man's sword and sheath mysteriously disappear from his back in one scene (while he's pulling the ship back to port) and reappear in the next?! []
  • This episode was originally intended to be one of the most important in the series- possibly a two-parter, it was going to tell the entire history of Eternia through the mirror. However, for some reason Robert Lamb was unable to go ahead with this plot and had to hastily develop a different plot to follow on- hence why the mirror is wasted in the final episode, and the story seems so unfinished.
