[@MarlenaSamhain1]

No matter how many times I have seen this, the ending always has me in tears. I think this is best voice acting by Diana's actor in all the episodes.

[@vilgante]

Marlena Samhain it’s about time Diana has an episode about her

[@maygob9102]

Same here.. so sad .. one of the best cartoons ever so pure and so cruel..kids trying to get home... if they ever made an actually film I'm preying it has to be actually like the cartoon less joking.. and real emotions... one of my favorite cartoons of all times... did they ever got home? I feel so sad for them... that dungeon master is so useless..

[@bozanimal5576]

Agreed; normally Diana sounds like Dora The Explorer. This was solid.

[@jaredelizardo201]

Is it just me or do the rest of you believe that cosar is an Alien because Old DM Said it was beyond Diana's upstanding after all Aliens r different from us as we r too them I think Cosar's real home is a other planet different from ours I mean his body was made of pure energy

[@WesterosWolf]

Beautiful episode! Diana and Kosar are a lovely couple and a classic example of self-sacrifice for the greater good. Awesome how the series addresses first love, bonds of fellowship and committing yourself to causes bigger than you. I have a feeling Diana may meet Kosar again in her world too, that would be quite a twist.

[@dominiquedevereux7205]

That would be cool if in the finale they show them get home, & right b4 the episode ends, Diana runs into Kosar (or whatever his name is in her realm)at the amusement park soon as they arrive back. I bet only a few moments passed in their realm as opposed 2 the probable year or YEARS they've been in Dungeon Master's realm. Much like we feel like we've lived a whole lifetime in a dream, only to awake ⏰ 2 find we've only been sleeping a few hours.

I like these break-out episodes. During this run-through of the show, I've noticed her bravery and leadership qualities more. So I like that they added this softer-side, more personal touch to round out her character.

Diana + Kosar 4 life. Nice to hear Peter Cullen voice Kosar’s father in this episode.

[@MoonLitChild]

I love that they gave the "badass" black character an episode where she gets to be tender, gentle and vulnerable. A modern take on this episode would force her to be stoic throughout. Diana becomes a literal goddess at the end and the conclusion is *chef's kiss* Also I love the episodes where Eric and Hank are on the same wavelength-- it shows that they're friends beneath it all, however much The Realm strains their relationship.

[@syniekos]

Has to be one of my favourite episodes, the ending with Diana destroying Syrith & 'making a choice' by switching places with Kosar enabling him to go home was a cool touch. Also, some of the music cues are a bit different to the original broadcast, I believe there was a rights issue when the show was released on DVD.

[@PungiFungi]

Diana merely banished Syrith back to the Abyss.

Diana was always my favorite, and not just because she was such a hottie. There were about three chars involved in this whole thing that had an actual personality, and she was one of them. Snarky as hell, she was almost always the one to put Eric in his place, and I rally thought she'd be the one to find her Prince and stay. Oh well, I guess a good long-term relationship was just as impossible for anyone in Hollywood to imagine then as it is now. Still, glad she got 1st-billing for a change.
