Princess Entrapta is probably the most likable character from She-Ra: Princesses of Power. She’s also a highly unethical scientist. That sure sounds like University of Planet material to me.

What Ever Happened to Brigid from Craig of the Creek?
Brigid led the Freddites on Craig of the Creek for exactly one (fantastic) episode, Dog Decider, before disappearing from the face of the creek.

Raise your hand if, while you were watching the second season of Infinity Train, you expected One-One to be able to fix MT’s problem as soon as she found him. A lot of you probably raised your hand. Things didn’t work out so easily, did they?
