So, a fella down the pub (who runs the sci-fi club) gave me a copy of the first episode to watch. Very, very awesome. I look forward to seeing more!

Heh, never even noticed Panthro's tail, I was more interested in how Grune lost his tusk. Man, that one tusk has bugged me since the first episode. It looks so uncomfortable!

Spoiler:
Considering how quickly they made nice with the pirates who were going to eat them in the 2nd episode, I'd say it's understandable how accepting they were of a dude who was a loyal servant to the king.

This week in Thundercats we learned...

Spoiler:

1: Panthro can't swim...

2: Sometime in the past when they were using tech the Thundercats and Mumm'ra were on the same side....?

3: Oh and blank books are a bummer!

Can't be as agonizing as his predecessor's constant battle cry of "Thundercats! I'm in trouble!" from the old show.

But nothing is as painful as a 90s Charles Xaiver scream!




Anybody else feel like Cheetara is ridiculously overpowered in this show? I know most of her effectiveness comes from her speed, but dang, she's like Speedy Gonzalez/Sonic the Hedgehog/the Flash fast!

I totally love how badass Cheetara is. Plus
Spoiler:
It seemed like they were trying to show she was being given extra badassness by the sword just before she tore ass up the temple walls.


Also, I'm kind of over the "Whiskers!" catchphrase. But otherwise love the show so far.

Ah, good point about ...
Spoiler:
the sword. In the old show, didn't it function merely as a call to arms? Looks like this show might actually power up some of the TCs.


And the "whiskers" bit is sooo Will Friedle.

*looks about* Rob Paulsen alert!! Rob Paulsen alert!!! So THAT's who he voices!

Spoiler:
Man oh man. What an awesome ep. Nice origin story to the sword of omens and how all the animals arrived on the planet!

Also we learned:

1: Panthro snores

2: The animals all came from other worlds!

3: 7 eps in and we get crossovers with other 80's shows (Tigersharks and Silverhawks)

4: Rob Paulsen is Jackalman!!

5: There are 4 lights er stones!

When the eye of Thundera was stabbed (in the ep, "Excalibur", I believe), all the cats dropped dead.

Pretty sure it wasn't his idea. When he said it in the series premiere, he delivered it as an answer to "whadaya think you're looking at?", rather than the interjection it obviously is now. So, I'm pretty confident it was given to him.

Spoiler:
Are we sure he'll be Jackalman as well as the unnamed jackal from at least a few generations back that he voiced? I somehow doubt that that character was THE Jackalman since he'd be dead in the current gen (unless he's been walking in & out the mouth of the cave of time for a few centuries), but since all the other voices in that flashbacky scenario were borrowed from current gen...


Next ep:
Spoiler:
"The Duelist and the Drifter"
Episode Synopsis: A duelist collects swords and sets his sights on the Sword of Omens.


Anyone else thinking/hoping for Hachiman?

"The Duelist and the Drifter"

Hmm...

Spoiler:
tonight's episode certainly featured that cliched "it doesn't matter what kind of weapon you're using, it's all about how skilled you are" theme going on. But, heck, I still enjoyed it anyway. Snarf really is starting to grow on me in this series.

I wasn't so much thinking of the decision to use it, but to Friedle's delivery. He just has a certain way of accentuating those "Oh crap!" moments.

Another excellent episode.
Spoiler:
And it looks like Snarf DOES talk a bit... Lion-O certainly understood him and he said things other than "Snarf!"

Loved the floaty bunny...

That means every pet-owner who ever pretended a conversation with their pet isn't really pretending?? Grab your torches and pitchforks, everyone! We need to run these Dolittles outta town before they bring about The Rise Of The Planet Of The Housepets!

Well Snarf was clearly saying "Nononono" in trying to convince Lion-O not to fight.
