2. Lion-O simply doesn't have an army, not yet. From what we've seen we must assume that most if not all of the soldier were wiped out and there are only civilians left to either flee into hiding or be taken as slaves. If there's still an army out there why are the core Thundercats the only resistance that Mumm-Ra and his Generals are concerned with? If Lynx-O survived (you know he did! Duh!) that's another general on their side but one general and a bunch of oppressed slaves are not an army.

1. That's irrelevant. The whole freaking plot of the show is the rematch. The argument you're making could be made about the THundercats themselves. They already lost even though they had Claudus, and they had an army. Why do six-seven cats think they can succeed when their empire failed? The answer is they're going to try anyway, 'logic' be damned.

2. This is also not a good answer. The Thundercats are not a spec ops squad. They take the cats they find. The Kittens are a couple of impoverished pickpockets. They took them anyway, because they're cats and they're not going to leave them. Furthermore, you're putting words in the Thundercats' mouths.

There was never a mention of the lost cats before, the Thundercats never said they were waiting for the right time to go save their enslaved brethren, they never said anything about them. And even more proof that that wasn't the plan is this episode itself. Lion-o didn't avoid rescuing Pumyra because 'it's not the time.' The moment he heard about her, he was dead set on saving her. Sure, she's a warrior, but that is not why he saved her, he didn't know that the instant he saw her.

Furthermore, at the end he didn't say to Pumyra 'no we can't save the others, we have to get the stone.' He said that they're going to go save them immediately because now he knows.

Face it. It's a plot hole. He never cared about or mentioned the other cats before, and now that they've been mentioned to him it's suddenly priority number one. It would have made more sense if he would have at least said 'no, I need to get the stone first.' But he didn't. Oh, and oppressed slaves have spent a lot of real history proving that they CAN be a useful army if their freedom is on the line.
