I find the Book of Omens as being wasted for coming into play so early in the series. The group could have moved around for a bit going by rumors and info in finding two stones. Then they find the Book of Omens to lead them to the other stones and reveal the real truth. At least if the series followed it this way, most of the early episodes could have been spent building up the group.

Hey, I was going to mention Slayers!

In some ways I think that the did too good a job setting Mumm-Ra up as being this all powerful threat. A lot of the best plans in TOS that Mumm-Ra did involved him bieng a little more subtle. Using his shapeshifting to infiltrate Cat's Lair, or casting spells that messed with the Cat's from a distance, not direct confrontation.
