Yeah true, but it just seemed like the scene was there for no other purpose. Maybe they could have worked in a battle scene for he tanks and bikes. Something that would show off their features. not just a bland race scene.

New Episode tomorrow: The Forest of Magi Oar (The War Forgers)

It was the worst episode so far in my opinion. Well actually,to correct myself, none have been bad till this one.
I found the Thundercats stepped out of their boundaries by fighting everything in sight without getting the whole story. They were rather impulsive to say the least.
There also should have been a better interpretation of Lion-O getting in the "zone" with the whole sight beyond sight metaphysics of that particular ability.
Overall it was a rushed episode story arc wise. IMO

Great Episode.

The Fight scenes were really well animated. The Powers of each of the forgers were great.

I really liked this one. Brings back the great writing, with a certain twist. Not completely unexpected, but a good one none-the less.

Editing is still a little off. But all in all a very good episode I think.

Was it me or were this episode's shots focused on Cheetara's boobs a little too much?

Near as I can tell, most shots of Cheetara focus on her chest or butt. I am not complaining.

Was anyone else hoping this episode wasn't heading towards an environmental message? It felt like a very "green" episode, what with the bad guys running a paper mill that was clearly tearing the forest a new one.

Also the paper powers made me think of Read or Die, which I'm okay with, actually, since it looked really awesome.

I also thought that, and it did look awesome 8) . Hope they come back, and if the do maybe the other two will actually speak! I figure they didn't cause I've heard other shows can only have so many actors per episode(probably budgetary reasons), and I imagine Thundercats is the same way.

I bet we could see the Forgers again, well at least i hope. It's not like they were villians. Just misguided. Plus the school is still open so they could be allies in later epsisodes, i would suspect. Especially with a new head master at the helm. What's the forest guardians name again?

I think it was a great episode as well. Lots of great animation in the fight scenes with creative action sequences and speaking of animation......yes they are playin up Cheetara with some serious curves in this new series i have to admit.

I was cool with both of the newer eps, this one and sight beyond sight.

It's interesting seeing some of the other inhabitants of Thunderra/3rd Earth, but I would like some more movement along the main plot, like Mummra, Slythe, Grune.

I wonder if they have plans to introduce the Pirates (Hammerhand, etc.), and the white mutant guys.

Fun stories, and I've been able to catch this more regularly than I was TF Prime. The toys bug me, I really want to buy a Thundertank, but don't want to feel like it's $30.00 wasted.

Anyway, I'll keep watching. And yes, I did notice the camera focus on Cheetara's bosom a few times.

I'be tried to catch these, but its hard on a Friday night. So mostly I watch them sometime in the weekend on youtube.

As for TF Prime, only now am I catching up with it. I saw the debut mini series, and then lost track of it. Thanks to youtube, I've now watched up to about 3/4 of the season. (did that sound like a testimonial in a infomercial?)

I'm also catching up on Young Justice which I never even began to watch.

BTW for those in need, Animeflavor.com has all the Young Justice Episodes in HD available for watching for free. Some episodes have more than one source even. It also has quite a few other cartoon shows, and animated movies to watch.

Anyway, new Thundercats Episode tonight: Into the Astral Plane.

Uh, did I miss something? The guide said this would involve Lion-O and Tigra fighting in the Astral Plane, but that appears to be next week.

A good episode nonetheless, though.

Jeez. Aren't things hard enough for the Thundercats without Tygra being a dink? I think i like the original Tygra better. He was more cleric/zen like.

It's also good to see Mumm-ra show up. It's been quite a while.

On a side note....i'd like to see if that new fancy staff that Cheetara has can do any cool tricks being that it's imbibed with special powers.
