I thought this was a overall good episode, I just didn't like the content (as others stated).  I do disagree with Mike's comment about the character having no power, he just was biding his time till he had the power (just like Prince Adam and He-Man).  He did have power as a slave - the power over his "master" when it became his turn, and that's why he was getting so mean towards the end (if the "slave" quit before the end of the year, then he wouldn't have to be one).
