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.

You forgot the most important thing: No one said "Whiskers!" this episode, for the first time. I guess they didn't want to curse in front of those cuddly robot-pandas.
Anyway, this was an okay episode. The chemistry was working overall and props to every non Lion-O focussed episode (though Tygra and especially Cheetarah need the focus more badly than Panthro), but I get quite annoyed by the Thundercats being incompetent or doing nothing in fights so every dirty brigand can pose enough of a threat for an episode. I mean they were basically fighting one fat slaver with an old tank and some primtive, undisciplined thugs. They fought organized armies to some success before, damnit!

I believe said blue creature is Snowmeow, Snowman of Hook Mountain's mount, so we can expect more of the allies from the original series to show up.
I was also a bit apprehensive about this ep, the Berbils NOT being among my favorites, but it worked out pretty well. The Thunderkittens tweaking on fruit was amusing, I hope they don't completely abandon that element.
