Beautiful episode. It's weird how I found myself completely feeling for the character of Elmerick. Seriously, I was pretty sad when he died. Kind of disappointed that Panthro only showed up at the end in the clip we saw a week before, though. Ruined the intended surprise. Nonetheless this was another amazing episode, I cannot wait to see what else lies in store.

That was a great episode! Anybody who doesn't like that just has a narrow imagination. First time with the thundercats signal! Guessing thats what brings panthro. Also guessing the great wind they spoke of may have been when mum ra showed up in episode 2 with the wind whirling. Something for adults and kids...just awesome, if you disagree you know what to do!

Oh my goodness , this episode took you on a joyride of emotions. I was crying when emmerick died , then got goosebumps when Lion-O gave his speech and used the sword of omens , and then dang near had a fangasm when panthro appeared.
I almost feel like I need a cigarette and I do not even smoke ! |

People, people, people.... Two words.....22 minutes

The animation and story telling have been awesome. It's 22 minutes of win. I hope people from the HUB are watching.

I'm with you...have done some tv work and I can tell you it is incredibly hard to storyboard something great in 22 minutes with a message and adventure. Plus animate it. . I think they're doing a great job!

Very moving episode. Anything BUT average, IMO. So far, I'd say it's easily the most emotionally-charged entry for me after episode 2. Really got a lump in my throat at the end. So sad, yet so beautifully done. Really touched my soul.
The very end was every bit as cool as expected, but dang - what a way to leave it hanging for another week! *shakes fist* Is it next Friday yet? |

I teared up too! It didn't help that my friend's dog passed away before this episode either. Now I'm clinging to my cat

I agree about hub....just wondering how much money they had to start with. WB brought some heavy hitters. I hope they start investing in cartoons again! |

They did a great job with the emotions...who doesn't wanna be the guy or girl who stands up with courage in the face of insurmountable odds! Great stuff.....I teared up too but don't tell anybody.

For a 22 minute cartoon, this episode had more "heart" than entire SERIES ever hope to get. But they also aren't stretching some of this stuff out. Had this been produced by an entirely Japanese writing staff, you can bet the last two episodes would have been stretched out for half a dozen or more episodes to cover the same material. I do feel it a bit unfortunate that the "big surprise" at the end was basically spoiled so heavily for the sake of the fans and ratings. Though it probably snagged more people into watching an otherwise great episode in doing so This episode also reinforces my entirely unsubstantiated belief the production crew and series artists "stole" some talent from Studio Ghibli. The Petalars feel like something you'd see in one of their films. |

Absolutely. Even seeing some of the little ones riding on Snarf made me think of Catbus, lol.

I have to agree. As much as I like Renegades, or how I think Transformers Prime is okay, Thundercats is pretty much blowing away damn near every "serious" action cartoon out there right now, including the overrated Clone Wars and Young Justice.

I think YJ gets it's fanfare just because of a huge new fanbase that can't wait for new episodes...like...at all But yeah I'm gonna agree with you on that. |

Great episode i was kinda annoyed at the way the ending went down but that doesn't stop me giving this episode 9/10
Emotionally charged storyline, it was another learning episode for Lion-O too. |

It was dark...I believe they are communicating they couldn't see him between the smoke and the night.

Want to know what is really sad? In my opinion, Lion-O has show more, LOGICAL, character development in these 4 episodes than the title character of Inuyasha (a popular anime series) did after 150! |

This episode is what I refer to as an emotional roller-coaster. That was an incredible episode.
A message to the writers; don't toy with my emotions like that! Making me feel excited, sad, thrilled; I can't keep up! It's just not fair! Joking aside, in all seriousness, please, keep up the great work! On the whole, this was a heartfelt, tragic, triumphant, bittersweet, journey. The Petalars and their journey will not be easily forgotten. Lion-O is quickly stepping into his role as king. Cheetara and Tygra were fantastic. The twins and Snarf are adorable. The new lizards were rather creepy, and very well-designed. Slythe is ruthless, exactly as he should be. Finally, Panthro and the Thundertank were absolutely awesome. More, please! One a final note, the animation, particularly with the Petulars floating, and the fire embers, was beautifully drawn. I think the level of quality for the series has been established, and I think this series is going to be incredible in the long run! I cannot wait until next week!

For those who talk of fillers and and disappointment (and I mean no offense here simply curious) what cartoon to you hold up as the gold standard of animation and storytelling? Please respond...

One of the bigger complaints many had about the 2002 He-Man cartoon was that He-Man (the title character) became a "background" player in favor of pushing more and more characters and driving those big, expansive, story arcs. Besides, they get that key development done early, they can focus on the grand plotlines later and likely do them better.

Yep and he didn't move the whole time. Like i said it was a minor complaint and i wasn't the only one who felt this way. It shouldn't overshadow what an excellent episode that was.
Not a bad thing at all. I like character development. I am glad the writers are taking the time to do it right Oh definitely, i totally felt that way during this ep! |
