    Why did this fantasy planet exist? Maybe I missed it, but I thought this had something to do with M’Benga’s daughter, and she’s off hanging out with a space nebula or something.

    Did they just write Pelia off the show?

    I don’t like how they had a magical/physical solution to La’an’s mental/metaphysical problem. Feels hammy to do that. I mean, I wouldn’t mind if it was solved through introspection and realization, but having a personality swap, then drinking magic potion to fix the problem…I don’t know man… I don’t like solving emotional distress through magic. It cheapens emotional growth.

    This was an ok episode. I guess…

      I think that’s what happened, at the end of the day. Princess Thalia is fictional, but she’s representative of personality traits La’An has suppressed since she was a child.

      I don’t remember a cogent explanation for the planet, either - it didn’t bug me, but it is an omission for sure.
