Honestly I think Tygra would be less resentful if Lion-O didn't always completely ignore his advice.
Well, lion-o has no choice now. He will have to learn from tygra or he will stay dead.

They may have developed Lion-O, but the fillers didn't advance the story after they got the Book of Omens back in Legacy. Things didn't move forward until Berbils.

Love the ep, it was a gut shot to all of them that Lion O went down, and you could tell by Tygra's face it hit him harder than he let on.

rather looking forward to the next ep when they've had time for the shock to wear off. Wilykit's faith in Lion O really made it for me.

As for Lion O, love the challenges, the twin's challenge was spot on as was Cheetara. Different with just enough nods to the classic trials to make me smile.

Also Cheetara's advice... this says it's either all over, or Lion O has just been going about things with her wrong and needs to change tactics. Either way I look forward to see how things go from here!

Just saw the episode.
Barely 50 seconds in and we get a confrontation between Lion-O and Cheetara about misinterpreting signals. This triangle obviously means a lot to these writers. Either they plan on continuing this over the long term or it’s building to some kind of climax at the end of the next episode.

The spirit kittens were pretty much in character, but spirit Cheetara seemed extra flirty or ‘friendlier’ than usual. Either the spirit version of Cheetara is sociopathic, leading Lion-O on, or Lion-O is manifesting his desires on to her, or maybe she represents the real Cheetara’s unconscious desires.
The conversation about running into dead ends and taking a “different path” implies that there may be potential for L/C. Or perhaps she meant Lion-O should get over it.

As for battle strategy, Lion-O should have listened to Panthro about the route to the top of the mountain being too vulnerable. Lion-O was too emotional and brash, not listening to the other Cats.

Last time Tygra was captured all he could do was smirk at Lion-O. This time he did a good job – that was a brutal beating he took. Why couldn’t he have been like this last episode?

Anyway, let’s see how the ‘new’ Lion-O 2.0 turns out. Maybe they’ll reboot this love triangle too?

OOOPS!!! What I meant to say is: SQUEE! Cheetara kissed Lion-O! That means she really thinks he is the love of her life. Enough of the stupid thing with Tygra! The Cheet-O ship is moving at 60 knots! Cheetara and Lion-O = LFE!
You’re just a silly little troll who seems to be a little too obsessed with cartoon characters.

I think if she is telling him to move on, she wouldn't of kissed him and give him that advice with her smile. She would be toying with him again. There would be no trinagle too.

He didn't expect her to kiss him, so he is not just going to give up on her now.

I don't get why Cheetara questioned the book and Lion-o's decision . Shouldn't she, as a cleric, believe that the book is right? Unless i've missed something, the book has never failed to show them where the stone is.

Rewatching the episode now. The rest of the group were definitely already captured when Lion-O got pushed over the cliff. They just didn't show them getting cuffed. First you see Addicus stop Tygra, then you see Kaynar stop Cheetara, then Addicus and Kaynar are both free when they push Lion-O and in the next scene (right after he fell) the whole group is cuffed up with a lizard guarding them. So it seems to me like Addicus and Kaynar handed them off to the lizard guard after they caught them.

No idea who beat Panthro or Kit cause they didn't actually show that.

They probably did it like that to save time. Afterall they only get like 22 minutes per episode.

That’s what I thought too. Although, let’s not forget this is Cheetara we are talking about. I don’t trust these writers when it comes to her characterisation, particularly in terms of consistency. They made that line a little ambiguous deliberately. But yeah, I agree with you.

When Addicus and Kaynar are free, why didn't the others do anything, regardless of the cuffs? We see Tygra goad them later....like, couldn't Cheetara have used her superspeed to do something like get behind one of the lizards and choke them or do something with her staff? and i can't believe Panthro was captured, he has new arms now. The twins know how to pick locks, so they should have been able to do something. I wonder where Snarf is.....?

Why didn’t they do anything? Simple, the plot demanded it so they deliberately depowered everyone, especially Panthro who managed to knock out all three of them out last episode. Have you also noticed, Cheetara’s super-speed seems to stop working whenever they really need it the most, like when Tygra was first struck by Addicus or even the hostage situation in the last episode?

Their abilities seem to “malfunction” at the most inappropriate times.

I think they are doing this to build the drama. Lets face it, lion-o has gone about this wrong. He should've said something in the begining.

The "Real Target Audience" is for 'Jelenic' himself in his "evil mind" Don't forget this NS cartoon is written mainly by Mumm-ra himself.

_______________
Jelenic and crew will be forever be remembered as the man and crew that tainted the TCATS brand. Hopefully J.M. DeMatteis will remove some of the taint.

Definitely, he should have. But there was no way he could have foreseen T/C in the way it happened, it was too unexpected. The writers could have shown him taking some initiative later on in the season if Cheetara’s choice would have been postponed. Maybe if he saw she was providing less “support” to him or perhaps showing some interest in Tygra. Instead, he was made to deal with a 180 turn on Cheetara’s part which was justified with a 23 second flashback.

Ah yes the infamous flower flashback. I wonder if the writers have ever seen a love triangle done properly in other franchises? Because that was very unconvincing.

The only way a flashback like that is ok is if it's a shoujo anime. Even then, they have more development and usually have a better plot for the confession.

Ok, I have watched 9 times. IMHO.

The dead end she is referring to is his attitude. Every time cheetara has said something after the kiss, he has thrown back in her face. He started the same way with the cheetara in the AP. Then he said I have ran into pleanty, she kissed him to get his attention. He was getting it. That got his attention and she gave him advice. He needs to go about it differently if he wants to be with her.

I don't know, I've seen may fair share of anime and even in the good ones the entire concept seems kind of dumb. I think that sort of thing only really works when you play it for comedy, because it's a ridiculous premise to begin with.

The spirits took forms that Lion-O was comfortable with. I think that pretty much confirms that they were manifestations of his own mind, not translated consciousness from the gang. Seeing as Lion-O is not comfortable with T/C it makes sense that he would see her as he wants to, as someone who is interested in him.

I am not so sure, knowing Jelenic. If she's older, she may have eyes on both Lion-O and Tygra thus it will be another "fight" with Cheetara.

She is safe from this predicament because she is a kid.

Like, for example (manga wise), Sailor Moon/Usagi and Tuxedo Kamen/Mamoru, Usagi didn't lose any characterization after she got with Mamoru. Anime wise, i'd say Tenchi and Ryouko. T/R had a great backstory.

She is safe from this predicament because she is a kid.

Jelenic and crew will be forever be remembered as the man and crew that tainted the TCATS brand. Hopefully J.M. DeMatteis will remove some of the taint.
They better watch out, Auburn will put the smack down on anyone who messes with kit.

The problem that I've had with triangles, is that in most cases its very difficult to write them in a way that doesn't end up with at least 1 of the characters, looking like the villain, or an idiot.

Auburn gets word of kit having a crush on lion-o, lion-o will not make it. Auburn will be waiting for him when he wakes up.

Manga Sailor Moon didn't really have a triangle because there was no third party. Tenchi is one of the examples where the love triangle (or, since this is Tenchi, a dodecahedron) works because it's so hilarious. Tenchi and Ryoko do have a nice backstory, but it's revealed in (SHOCKER!) a flashback.

True, if Wilykit was older, we'd probably end up with a L/W/T/C quadrangle.

It would be kind of nice to see Wileykit develop a crush on Lion-O and he has to find a way to let her down gently. It could give him more perspective on his relationship with Cheetarah.

Ah, i forgot.....though i do give SM credit for Usagi for not being giving up all the time. And T/R had a better flashback that made more sense. I think a good "triangle" would be something like Bleach's IchiRuki vs IchiHime. They both get development. Sadly, i haven't found one instance of an american show doing this.

The power of the Spirit Stone will protect Lion-o, and smite Auburn.
