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.

I really didn't like Cheetara's reason for getting with Tygra, and they didn't even interact much. She seemed like a tease to me with how she acted with Lion-o.

I liked this episode. But I really don't care about Lion-O and Tygra acting like children...I feel bad for Panthro, who no longer even has arms! Is he going to get mech arms or something? Will someone magically give him back his arms? What a horrible thing to have happen to the guy! Well, at least he got to use them in a fistfight one last time before they went. Gonna make first dates a little awkward though. Actually, come to think of it, would have been really hilarious if Cheetara had told both brothers to screw it and ran off with Panthro. But then, my sense of humor is pretty random. Speaking of which, I really liked how Lion-o walks up to the bandaged Panthro, asks him if everything is ok (when it clearly IS NOT) and then says something to the effect of 'well it'll be fine'. FINE? Fine doesn't happen after you are a trained fighter and have just lost both your upper limbs...but whatever. Time to learn to drive the Thundertank with your chin, Panthro!
Honestly, I can't hate Tygra really either. I think since he's consigned to a kid's show he's gonna stick around, but I really wish he'd go on to bigger and better things. I mean, he's got the girl, why not hit the road and really show Lion-o?
And am I the only one that feels we will see Grune again? That was TOO EASY, even though he is a complete pushover.

I hope Grune doesn't return. That would kind of undermine Panthro's badass sacrifice.
Plus Grune was a crummy villain. He died on a much higher note than one would've expected. Leave him at that. Don't bring back the crappy villain.

I don't take sucker bets :-P But it's a safe call to make. Either they do, or he has someone make them for him under his direction.
Wonder if he'll have rocket fists.
