Finally. Ten months after I began this journey through A Real American Hero, I've finally made it through the opening 15-part salvo of episodes. Three five-part mini-series, each episode packed with more and more characters, vehicles, weapons, schemes, insults, jokes, and MacGuffins. While I don't consider Ron Friedman to be the definitive voice of G.I. Joe (that honor goes to Larry Hama, of course, as well as, IMO, Buzz Dixon), he still created something truly unique in these 15 episodes: a fast-paced animated action series with a legitimate swagger. All of that is seen in this, the final part of "The Pyramid of Darkness."
