Sorry Charlie Brown. Sorry Mr. Grinch. For me, it’s just not Christmas without an annual screening of He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special. This year, I recruited site members and longtime Heroic Podboys of the Universe Allen, Razz-Bel, Johnny M and Havoc for a little post-show discussion and analysis of this venerable holiday classic. Highlights include:
It Came Upon A Midnight Clear Queen Marlena
After 20 years of life on Eternia, Queen Marlena suddenly remembers Christmas back home on Earth. That’s 20 years of Christmas cards she forgot to send.
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas Transformers
The spin-off that never was, the Manchines and the Monstroids do their best to make Christmas a little more soulless and metallic for our heroes.
O Holy Bony Night
All it takes is a puppy to transform Skeletor from Evil Lord of Destruction into that creepy uncle you only see at Christmas. He-Man should have thought of that sooner.
Hark, Hear the Bells New FBOTU Theme Song
Our very own Johnny M has composed an awesome new theme song for our podcast and for the site! A download will be available soon. For now, be sure to listen to the podcast to be the first to hear this breakaway hit! You can also hear more of Johnny M’s music on MySpace Music.
Whether you’re on Earth or Etheria or Eternia or my ass, have a very merry He-Man Christmas! Thanks for listening!
I cannot believe that no one has mentioned the awful Christmas performance featuring Bow on the open harp, Alisha and Miguel on vocals, and choreography by Kowl and Orko:
Love and caring
Peaceful bliss
Joys of sharing
Happiness
Christmas spirit’s in the air
Eternia and everywhere
Don’t you feel it
Feel that you’re a part?
Christmas season is a time
Of your heart

I knew they showed up somewhere else. I recall a field and they were coming at them. I think Snout Spout was also in it and Adam states that the rebellion is like this flower he’s holding up that’s growing out of a stone. I recall it was very poignant and froo-froo.
Donuts usually make me hyper first, then I shut down. I knew you’d know where else these guys popped up. I’ll have to watch that episode now! Five FBOTU points for Tallstar!

From what I’m remembering of the episode, Adora, He-Man, Frosta etc. are fending off a Monstroid attack on Flower Mountain, so they get Frosta to make ice donuts in varying sizes. The largest gets rolled down the hill in an attempt to smash The Monstroids. The smaller ones are thrown into the neck/ear area. I guess that causes The Monstroids to shut down. .
I’ve read that sentence three times now, and it still doesn’t make any sense.

Nice episode!
The Monstroids were also in the Season 2 episode ‘Day Of The Flowers’. That’s the one where they’re rolling giant-sized ice donuts off Flower Mountain.

We do talk about Bow’s musical talents and lack of facial expressions in the podcast, but thanks for posting the lyrics!
