Fantastic third episode. That somber melody WilyKit played at the beginning was so incredibly moving - you could really feel the sense of heavy loss lingering before the survivors moved on. Beautiful.

Loved the obvious nods to Moby Dick and even PotC: Dead Man's Chest. Great little touches throughout. Amazing scenic backdrops in this one, too. All the lush surroundings and treacherous terrain leading to the Sand Sea was superb.

Anyone else catch the Wilhelm scream @ 7:41-42? LMAO!!!

Friedle continues to impress as Lion-O here - the gravitas he's giving the character, especially after the events of the opening 2-parter, is extremely well done. The rage and anger boiling inside him, along with his drive to still prove he's twice the man Tygra is - perfectly delivered. And of course, having him see the error of his ways by the haphazard actions and fate of the Captain was nicely carried out. Despite this though, he's clearly becoming the fearless warrior he must be to fulfill his destiny, and to avenge his father.

Great lines in this one as well. "Just so you know, we're not following you - you're just walking in front of us!" LOL - awesome. "The food's fightin' better than YOU!" LMAO!!! And the first mate's reaction to hearing he could easily become dinner was priceless.

Loved the scenes with the Kittens and the creepy chef. Sure got more than he bargained for trying to fatten them up, lol.

And poor Jaga. Mumm-ra was really laying into him. That must've been some seriously effed up and evil mojo in that lantern - Jaga lasted no time whatsoever in breaking. They are really building up Mumm-ra nicely. That first full transformation is gonna be HUGE when we finally get to it.

Can't wait for next week's!
