Intro
I decided to do this, making an episode-by-episode recap and review of the 2011 Thundercats. I will review the episodes as they come out, though expect a few days distance between the airing of new episodes and their review, since I need to download them and will watch them a few times.
I've been watching the old show a lot in the past year, as it airs on Teletoon Retro when nothing else is on. And let me be honest, this show did not age well. But still, it has some charms. So let us see how the new one holds up.

Raising more question is probably a good idea so early in the series.

Kisses on the cheek actually make sense in this context, because its meant to be encouraging will not distracting Leo from the task at hand with idle thoughts of what else they could be doing together instead. Hence why they save it until the 'ah hell' situation during the crash scene.

I imagine many of those questions won't be answered simply because they're not relevant to the story. You just can't have everything explained, due in part to time constraints, in part to pacing issues. Too much info can be bad too. I imagine we'll never find out Leo and Panthera's reasons or why the cats were singled out as Mumm-Ra's servants.
For example, I imagine most of the cats loyal to Mumm-Ra were killed in the uprising, as Mumm-Ra himself suggested they would be. I doubt the rebels were in any mood to take prisoners...
Technology was probably abandoned because there simply was no way to maintain it. High tech levels require a lot, seriously a lot, of infrastructure. Third Earth might not even have some of the resources required. And if you consider the sort of chaos that probably went down after the landing... They might not even have had any idea how to manufacture anything like spaceships (if they only had mechanics and soldiers on board).
We might hear more about where the animals came from and quite probably about what happened to the three other stones.

The tech thing was most likely failed infrastructure caused by something important breaking in the fall.

Those two arguments fail to notice one thing: They use tech NOW. So what? An entire RACE of people who had the skills and knowledge to maintain this infrastructure couldn't use technology after the crash... But one old dude crippled by his last defeat can do it for his ENTIRE army, while giving himself enough free time to lead said army and have his own solo plots?

The cats were probabaky killed that were loysl to Mum Ra
They probbably didnt have the luxury of Mum as uber msgic snd tech skills to keep it floaing, at and a couple mechs and guns for a military with a private stach fir nimself isnt enough for a full civilization
Its called third earth because its the third moon of a gas giant, you can see it.
The animals thing isnt a question, they just came from Thundera or the other planets if the galaxy, we see aliens and everything, why would you have to ask thet?
Likewise Mumm Ra outright says that the cats are his House Furries becauseof how ruthless they are.
I'm geussing that
Mum Ra being a bat furry would have the same origins as other furries.
The rest is up to plot to reveal. Lol at Liono snogging his Cree Summers voiced great great great xN granmother.
