Best Episode yet....
Also I counted two cheek kisses before 'Leo' kicked ass and took names, so he needs two to reach full power, good to know.
Anyways, Lion-O has his work cut out for him. He as to convince everyony that Mumm-Ra is a threat and that they should all work together against him, while trying to keep the stones out of his reach.
Also, the Imperial March would not have been out of place when the scene panned in on the Bridge of Mumm-ra's ships
Mumm-Ra: "Unlimited POWER!"
Anyways the nod to Silverhaws was briliant because it explains to old scholl fans where that shiney armor design may have originated.

The only issue I have with the stones is that they don't gel well with the Ancient Spirits of Evil. It's like this whole universe is a reversal of the old one. Mumm-Ra is the one from space using technology while the Thundercats are relying on sorcery and magic. And I still wonder about the actual origins of the Eye itself. It was just there being used as a power source when it was taken. Where was it before it was in that machine? Who were the natives of Third Earth? Will we see the Amazons at some point? Are the Cats still the natives of the planet Thundera?
Still so many questions to answer.

Well last episode of the season. Spoilers below.
Really wonder what they are going to do with Panthro now. Probaly make him some metal arms but it will be something to look forward to. Cheetara made her choice and from the last episode it wasn't that suprising. Still really didn't like how they handled the whole love triangle mechanic with them. Was hoping we would see a return of fully armored Lion-o but he only got an arm this time.

The ending kind of fell flat with me. The whole love triangle resolution thing seemed forced. Really Wilykit, WilyKat, and Snarf were the high points for me. Even Panthro's sacrifice was stupid. He could have pulled Grune out and they could have executed them at their leisure. I was also pretty shocked to see them employ an actual minefield that worked against foot soldiers. That's pretty hardcore for a cartoon.
Honestly, I would have rather seen the resolution be something more like Cheetara picking neither because she was raised to be a cleric and defend both prices with her life. That ending seemed to be there just to twist the knife, not to resolve anything.

Exactly. I had the impression from the first episode that Tygra didn't know Cheetara at all until she joined in the little mob fight. While showing Cheetara as a cub going to the clerics was cool and all, it just kind of gave too much importance to Tygra. He's an asshole here, and we didn't need him to be sympathetic or get a girl. He just needed to be the asshole that got on Lion-O's nerves.
On top of that, the whole resolution just said one thing to me. "Sorry Lion-O, but the royal line is officially dead now." Cause guess what? They indicated that the Thundercats are all that's left of Thundera, period.
Mumm-Ra transformation is still cool, so we got that at least.

Well, it's rather squicky, but Lion-O could wait for Wily Kit to grow up, to continue the royal line that way. When you think about it, its not really any squickier than what some real world royal families have done, so it is a valid option. Not really a good one, but technically valid. (I feel a bit dirty for even suggesting that.)
It is particularly irritating when considering the elephant dude's words, betray. See, they were both actively competing for her, so it's not like a betrayal in any sense of the word. Furthermore, I honestly doubt that's the end of it, although I will admit I was fast forwarding through that part so I don't know what words were exchanged or what have you. They could be setting up a Kamina style ordeal, but who knows.
Well in all fairness, Thundera the kingdom fell. We were never told what happened to the hundreds, if not thousands, of Cats that were captured. Somehow I don't get the feeling Slythe or Mumm-Ra would summarily execute them all. They're more likely to use them as slave labor for their own amusement. There could be whole prides of Lionesses out there looking to be rescued by the Crown Prince and bear his cubs.
Also, the whole fight with Lion-O and Tygra was totally channeling Star Wars right up until the whole thing with the 300 pit. I was really rooting for Lion-O to use the Old School Claw Shield powers that made it into a utility-belt kind of tool and shoot out a grapple line from the claw or a chain from inside so he could raise himself up and kick Tygra's ass. Tygra turning face again like that even felt forced.
"It's this place that's making us fight." No Lion-O, Tygra's just an asshole. The astral plane just made it easier to demonstrate it.
Part of me really wants the Old School Tygra, the wise mystic, to show up and beat the new version bloody.

Well, in this episode, the elephant edited the prophecy slightly, to "He will feel betrayed his brother," when he was explaining the prophecy to Cheetara near the start of the episode. It takes quite a bit of the oomph out of it though, and I was hoping we'd see Tygra go to the dark side for a bit, to replace Grune (whose death felt like an afterthought to me. They should have played up that line about doing anything for victory earlier, in my opinion.).
