This episode was fairly sweet, giving us a look at Globgor for the first time (not to mention his “interesting” sense of humor”)

Aw

Aaaww

Turns out Eclipsa originally got into this relationship for shoulder rides. Also, she still has the best outfits collection.

Globgor, Scourge of Mewni!

“That’s pretty whack, boo.”

And touching realization, though I question how well tear ducts and tears would work when magical light is shooting out of the eyes. Seems like one might preclude the other.

On the whole this was a nice episode that gave us a look at the monster that Globgor has become, and while I liked it overall I do have some problems. The first problem I have is, like the episode that preceded it, something important happened offscreen. In this case it would be Eclipsa learning of and taking back the book scrap from Star’s closet. Having that part happen off screen leaves the question of how Eclipsa found out (I guess the all-seeing eye could have been part of it, but not only have we not seen Eclipsa cast it but that spell is still living in Star’s wand room as far as we know) and also how she reacted when she found out Star had the book fragment. Unless she’s always known and was just hoping that she’d find another fragment on her own or that Star would decide on her own to hand it over.

edit: it’s been pointed out that I forgot Eclipsa stated she’d used the mind diving spell on Star too to explain knowing (blame me only being able to watch these at like 11 at night for that), but I still believe there should have been some on screen development or allusion to some of what I mentioned above.

My bigger problem though is that this episode offered the chance to expand on the history/timeline of what happened between Globclipsa and the MHC/Shastican, but instead we got two imaginary characters that will in all likelihood never come up again. All I’m really asking for is a straightforward record to go off of for this one part of the show’s world building. Is that so much to ask for?
