[Uncanny Madman]

I kinda hated this episode...the drop off in quality from the pilot is astonishing.

It felt like the first 10 minutes of the episode fast forwarded through about a third of the series...the twins joining the group immediately as Lion-O and company go to leave Thundera was completely anti-climatic and forced, then the group travel virtually the whole way across Third Earth to the border of Mumm-Ra's lair in a few short sequences...

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.
