Awesome show, it really gives more depth into the mythology and i like the design they did for the show. But did you know the original show as made by some Studio Ghibli animation directors on some episodes who also did Castle in The Sky aka Laputa, My Neighbor Totoro, Grave of the Fireflies and Howl's Moving Castle? it's a fact.

Who'd love to see Yoshiaka Kawajari of Ninja Scroll/Wicked City/Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust/Demon City Shinjuki/Highlander anime fame to do an episode?

I love the Samohflaugh reference they gave out, made me LMAO as i knew it was taken from the infamous bloopers.

Cheetara looks just as sexy as her old counterpart and proves she is queen of all cartoon catgirls.

I love this show. I just can't get over how beautiful the animation is. So how many seasons has this show been approved for?

I really hope we get to see some of the other mutants before the end of the season. The warrior maidens would be great too. Have there been confirmations of what characters from the original show will show up?

Pumyra is confirmed to have a 2-3 episode arc for her introduction, we saw Lynx-O in the premiere

Jackalman is confirmed, we have seen his design. I would guess from the animals seen in Legacy we will see

-Vultureman
-Monkian
-Tigershark (whether its Mako from the original series is unknown)

Warner Bros in the press release for Silverhawks Volume 2 confirmed we will see them sometime during the shows run

An awesome episode indeed! Love the back story with Tygra and Cheetara. Good to see Grune and the lizards again! When it ended, I so wanted more! Looking forward to next Friday's episode for sure!

**Darkspecter** · November 21, 2011, 12:17am

Cool info about Pumyra. I hope we see Bengali too. His colours are pretty.

Season Two better have this roster:

**markatisu** · November 21, 2011, 12:26am

It should have most of them, I mean Bengali is the only one in question.

From what the writers have said Pumyra will be in before the 1st season is over (near the end of the 26 episodes) so hopefully Bengali and the return of Lynx-O happens shortly after so the full team can be ready to go

**13977** · November 21, 2011, 06:06am

Good episode, also glad to see Grune and the lizards again. Very intrigued about next weeks betrayal and I wonder if we'll see anything from the original 'The Astral Prison' episode in next weeks episode.

WHOA, nicely detailed recreated figures of the classic ones. Nicely sculpted and painted, looks just like the old counterparts.

Considering we're getting Silverhawks and Tigersharks in this series, it would be kind of weird if we didn't get Bengali, who was actually on the original show.

Speaking of the original show, I remember an episode with an evil Lion-O wearing red. Am I imagining it, and if not, what is the title of the episode? Also, What's up the the Anointment Trials episodes being spread across 4 DVDs? What the hell was WB thinking?

Anyway, Looking forward to Friday! Astral Moat Monster, perhaps?

He wore a red cape in the 'Lord of the Snows' episode, is that what your thinking of?

I think its because they are in production order on the dvd's, but I know what you mean,
I like watching the Anointment Trials episodes back to back and its a pin swapping the dvd's for each episode.

Astral Moat Monster would be nice!

No, The blue costume he normally wore was red. It think he was an evil doppelganger like Panthro in Spitting Image, Again, it's just a vague memory.

The episode you're thinking of is called "Fond Memories".

Man I cannot wait, this looks to be a great way to go on break!

**Wheelor** · November 23, 2011, 01:50am

Any word of if or when they may get their symbol like the toys instead of plain red circles?

**Hordak Alpha** · November 24, 2011, 12:18am

It isn't like they didn't already have a long ass break that went practically an entire month!!!

Don't be surprised if the rest of the episodes already exist, Cartoon Network is just sitting on them for some kind of sweeps type stunt or something.

Yeah, the empty red circles are annoying. You'd think Thunderians would be wearing the Eye of Thundera.

Cheetara chooses her beau?! Is this a soap opera now??

**gbagok** · November 24, 2011, 11:40am

RE that flashback with the log...wow, Tygra achieves new heights of doucheness. Talk about character assassination.

I will greatly enjoy Lion-O kicking his ass eventually, but I hope they will not sit on the explanation for his "first born but not the heir" status for long. Did Clawdus marry have an affair with a Tigeress (who later died), or was Tygra adopted? Is Lordship determined essentially by breed akin to humans basing inheritance on skin and/or hair color or what?

RE the symbol, I am also surprised how long they are going around without the familiar logos. I assume it will be treated as a "big" moment when they finally start using them. It feels like it will coincide with some kind of magical breakthrough for Lion-O and the sword. Considering how long it took Lion-O to work out how to use Sight Beyond Sight in this show, it could take the whole first season for the heroes to finally get the sigils on their costumes.

Yeah that was kinda stupid. But Young Justice shows they could care less since that season has been done for awhile but they are just getting around to getting the rest of the episodes aired.

I don't have to be surprised, the Thundercats Crew Blog (the people who work on the show) said they were finishing up the final few eps of the 1st season last week so Episodes 14-22 are already complete

Yeah by now I think it will happen when Lion-O officially masters the sword/trials and BECOMES the leader he is destined to be.

I think so too, and possibly we'll have Pumyra and/or Lynx-O in the group by then too. I wonder if they'll run through the same initiation as the original series where-in Lion-O has to beat each Thundercat individually. That might seem like it should come a lot later, but at this point I don't know if they can afford to wait so long. I can certainly see that confrontation with Tygra needing to happen as much if not more than with Mumm-Ra. Not that the sibling rivalry will end that easily. I could see Tygra actually leaving the Thundercats before accepting Lion-O as the leader right away. Hey, that might pave the way for Bengali even.

**Adam_Prince of Eternia** · November 25, 2011, 06:13pm

Does anyone think we will see the Astral Moat Monster in the Astral Plane?

**MegaGearMax** · November 25, 2011, 09:00pm

Wow.

Now we know what's up with those Lion-O and Panthro variants.
Spidera!!!
Team Tygra WINS!!!!

**Hordaiquiri** · November 25, 2011, 09:23pm

"Worth it."

Great episode, really shocked at the ending (you'll know why when you hear Panthro say "Worth it.").

Now... how long of a break will this be before we get around to the rest of the season?

**Shredder** · November 25, 2011, 09:58pm

spoiler comment

Hey Panthro, how many fingers am I holding up? Oh, right..sorry
