A few more eps:

Turmagar the Tuska: Vampire Mermaids. Let me say that again: Vampire. Mermaids. +10 to awesome. Though who sent the Technopede and why? They never address it.* Solid episode.

The Mumm-Ra Berbil: Fantastico! This may be a new favorite episode. Though they seem to have forgotten that Lion-O couldn't use the sword against the other cats, due to the curse that the Sword of Omens would break if he did (Or not, since that's not the lesson for this episode). Anywho, the Mumm-Berbil was great, the story was fun, and when Mumm-Ra pulled out the goggles, it was a great moment.

Mechanical Plague: The Thundercats get floating camcorders, Mumm-Ra summons a "Best of Mechanical Monsters" to attack the cats and sends the Mutants out to finish the job. Everything goes to plan until Lion-O pulls out the Eye of Thundera, then the mechanical baddies couldn't fall fast enough. *We get a possible explaination in that the Technopede could be leftover automated weaponry from a past war. Mumm-Ra has a great closing speech in this otherwise weak to OK episode. Also there was some very nice animation in this episode.

Trapped: The Feliner is in danger and the Tkittens are trapped in a capsule during an everything storm (rain and meteors). The mutants get the pod, but Mumm-Ra starts pwning everyone. The kittens show Mumm-Ra his reflection, saving the day. Snarf gets the kittens out of the pod. This was a really good episode.

Excalibur: Mumm-Ra bemoans that the Sword of Omens is a Deus Ex Machina that has powers that can be made up (and work!) on the fly. Consulting the Spirits of Evil, he learns of Excalibur and Arthur. Transforming into Arthur, he claims the sword easily from the Lady in the Lake. Keeping up the Arthur disguise (why?) and with a cover, challenges Lion-O. Excalibur bests the Sword of Omens and the TC's go down as the Eye of Thundera goes dark. Mumm-Ra relishes his victory until Merlin shows up out of nowhere to set things right. Without so much as a wizards duel the story is over via Merlin ex machina. Ignoring the 9 million problems with the Arthurian myth (Why does Arthur have a lion as his emblem?!?) as we see it, Excalibur isn't mode locked to serving good, nor is Merlin its master, nor should it make any real sense that Merlin is more then a match for Mumm-Ra. At least if there had been a wizards duel between them and Mumm-Ra accidently reset the Eye of Thundera in the battle, it would've felt better. As is, entertaining, but only OK due to the problems in the last part of the last act.
