Thundercats Revival

No, I got that feeling too. I was almost expecting Apocalypse, the X-Men villain, to be in that high-tech coffin instead of Mumm-Ra.
In the original series the Thundercats were aliens who crashed to another planet in their spaceship. In this new version, it's like it's Mumm-Ra who's the alien on another planet in his pyramid/spaceship.

I meant COMPLETELY bald, not the whole Samurai topknot thing he's got going on now.
I actually didn't see that; it does raise some interesting questions tho'. Do all 'Cats have tails for a set period, or just some of them? So far, the only ones who've had them are the Kittens and YoungGrunt!Panthro.
Also: According to Wikipedia, the first DVD set of the season hits shelfs Oct 18. Season One, Book One.

Will Friedle, really? Huh. Didn't recognize him 'til you mentioned it. Thought Lion-O sounded familiar...
Still: Cat's Lair! Awesome! And just what you'd expect from a mediveal-type world... except the first few minutes, with the flashback and all, showed that the 'Cats and Mumm-ra were allies, or at least ol' Mumms was allied with one faction of the 'Cats.
I gotta say, Mumm-Ra looks even more badass in this incarnation then in any other.
This is an important episode, and it really gets my juices flowing... I want to know more about the history of the 'Cats NOW, dammit!
It's starting to look more and more likely that this is set in the distant future/future AU of the original series. Or reincarnation.
Also: The MUMM-TANK. *giggle* Where was this thing when I was a kid?! Loving this series more and more...

So, watching the newest episode...
I KNEW that it would be too quick for that place snarf found to be the Tower of Omens
That being said, I didn't think they'd actually show it in this episode.
When did Tigra get his whip back?
Mumm-Ra Tank. Awesome. I thought we'd see the Ancient Spirits of Evil again.
Jahga gets a Dying Moment of Awesome here!
I did NOT see that twist coming, that's for sure.
And, of course, Panthro has the best line in the episode again.
"Close your mouth, you're drooling."
Also LOVE the call-back to the original series with Cheetara getting super powered after Lion-O going "Thundercats HO!"

Thanks.
This is really starting to look like a distant future version rather than a reboot. Who wants to bet that the planet the "war stone" was stolen from was the original Thundera?
Also, you have to like WilyKat. "Why look for a key when you can just pick the lock?"
And did anyone else notice that every trap in the Tower of Omens was designed to be beaten by either the weapon or skills of one of the original Thundercats? The reincarnation angle is looking more and more plausible.
Still waiting for Snarf to talk, though, snarf snarf.

Actually, I'm getting the reverse vibe.
I think that Lion-O will think the Cheetara likes him, but will be disappointed when he learns that she was just trying to constantly encourage him because she believes he'll make a good king and because everyone else around him seems to keep doubting him, not out of any romantic feelings of her own.
It's early enough in the series that it could go in several directions, or even no direction at all, but that's the vibe I'm currently getting.

New episode was pretty good. I liked the back story and the way it was done. Get a future peak at epic armor maybe? 
Great episode. Interesting look at the way the 'Cats and other animal-peoples ended up on Third Earth.
Gotta wonder: Is Mumm-Ra still in the Diamond!Ship, and it's buried in the earth with the Black Pyramid the only part still visiable, or what?
Still so wanting to know more... hurry up, dammit!!!
