Today I broke a promise...

Without a doubt one of the series' best episodes "The Problem With Power" features many outstanding scenes. Of course the scene that we have all discussed over the years is the moment when Prince Adam makes the choice to relinquish the power of Castle Grayskull and give up being He-Man. This is probably one of the most impressively directed scenes of the entire series, with shadows used to create the mood.

We must climb down...

Robert Lamb's "Into the Abyss" is without a doubt one of the most character-driven episode in the series. After Teela has fallen into the abyss surrounding Castle Grayskull we know that the episode's second act will become a rescue story. Even so the character development is still there with the cast in shock realizing that Teela is down in the abyss. When the rescue attempt begins we have no idea what we are about to learn until Prince Adam raises the Sword of Power and the abyss begins to react...

I guess I'm stuck with it.

The end of the season two He-Man episode "Battlecat" features a great little scene with Prince Adam and Cringer. After Man-At-Arms' lengthy story of how Cringer first became Battle Cat we return to the present day where we see Prince Adam and Cringer affirm their companionship. Incidentally this scene was written late in the day as the episode was original scripted and even storyboarded to end during the flashback story.

Easy, Cringer...

Here I present the most memorable scene from the season two He-Man episode "Battlecat" where we finally learn how Cringer became Battle Cat for the first time. My favorite part of this scene is of course Cringer's point of view with Prince Adam holding the Sword of Power aloft...

I heard a call for help.

I always thought this little action scene at the beginning of the season two He-Man episode "One for All" was a good way to introduce the regular cast into the already Space Pirate-heavy episode. There are a lot of good moments in this scene with Rose precariously balanced atop the boulder, Hisser firing his freeze rays, and He-Man being his typically charming self.

Farewell, Light Hope.

I always thought that this exchange between She-Ra and Light Hope was one of the strongest in the series. No other episode established their relationship as good as this one, or the role that the Crystal Castle played in the life of She-Ra. Larry DiTillio's dialogue is perfect for this scene, as is the voice acting by Melendy Britt and Lou Scheimer.

Into the sunset...

For much of the He-Man series it was hinted that both He-Man and Teela cared a great deal for one another. Finally "The Problem With Power" presented us with the scene that we all wanted to see; He-Man carrying Teela off into the sunset...

I'll be waiting.

"Dawn of Dragoon" is not only one of the best Orko episodes, but also one of the best episodes to feature Dree Elle. I was always somewhat disappointed by Dree Elle's subsequent appearances in the He-Man and She-Ra series, mainly because the animators made her design more kid-friendly, and less mysterious as seen in this episode. This scene featuring Orko and Dree Elle's declaration of love to one another is probably one of the most memorable scenes in the entire He-Man series. And in case you are wondering, yes, Filmation did design Orko face...

Give me one more chance!

The opening to Paul Dini's classic "Prince Adam No More" has a wonderful scene with Beast Man being thrown out of Snake Mountain. Not only do we have fantastic comic book-like dialogue, but we also see the original collection of Evil Warriors as seen in "Diamond Ray of Disappearance". This was possibly one of the last times in the series that Beast Man was at his most menacing in an episode.

Teela falls!

Act one of "Into the Abyss" ends shockingly with Teela's terrifying fall into the abyss that surrounds Castle Grayskull. The build up to the scene is excellent with calm music and no real indication of what is about to happen. I remember Robert Lamb and I discussing this scene a few years back; he mentioned that his original idea for the scene was written to have Teela hanging onto the edge as act one ended, emphasizing the term "cliffhanger"...
