There's no wonder at all the things they are seeing for THE VERY FIRST TIME, no shock at a sea of sand, no intrigue at a HIGH TECH PIRATE SHIP piloted by strange creatures they've never seen before...it's all just taken in their stride, as they go through the motions of a highly generic revenge story, featuring a highly generic threat to a pirate ship by a mindless tentacled creature...

Words cannot express my disappointment.

For the record they wouldn't be supprised about the sea of sand because they obviously already know about it and since Lion-O did know about it, I doubt very seriously it was "half way across Third Earth." They already saw energy cannons too in the battle at Thundera and you don't know that they're anywhere near Mumm-Ra's pyramid yet. Lion-O was making guesses on where it was in the first place.
