@TheSecularTheist I saw it as anti drug. Tygra is almost willing to do the unthinkable just to get another taste of the fruit. That's pretty much what an addict does.
@NeverDoubt1 oh, no doubt it was meant as an anti drug episode, the writers said as much, and it probably comes across that way. I was just kind of nitpickingly pointing out that it was more mind control than addiction. I got the anti drug thing though, even as a little kid.
one thing i dont get... Mumm-Ra said he cant leave the temple without it hurting him.. and when he left in the first episodes, he couldn't leave in his original form. why didn't he have to transform before leaving temple in this one?
Hmmm, wasn't really an "anti drug" story, it was more mind control than addiction".

@psykick77 I don't think it matters what form he's in; if he leaves the black pyramid it fucks him up a little bit.
