The New Thundercats

So she sould get friendly with Cheetaria.

Am I the only one thinking Pumyra's gonna get Tasha Yar'd?

I don't know what that means.

Tasha Yar was one of the original cast members of Star Trek: The Next Generation and filled the role of the "badass woman" of the group. That is, until she was killed off.

Ohh Ya she's a badass.

But Tasha also got killed by a talking oil slick.

Does it make me a bad person that I laughed when I read the words "killed by a talking oil slick"?

That alone makes her death sound like it would be hilarious. Something tells me I'm very wrong though.

Depending on how it was played up, that's either drop dead hilarious or horrifying.

Judge for yourself.

Some musings on the stones:

The three stones we know so far are the War, Spirit, and Tech stones. What links these three aspects? They are all qualities dependent on sentience: Tech is the bedrock of what makes sentience possible, Spirit it's most defining aspect, and War only possible with those first two aspects. It follows, then, that the third stone is either a final aspect of sentience or utterly divorced from it. The first seems possible due to the stones stated purpose of mastery of 'the universe' which seems to be determined by the control of the fates of all thinking animals and is likely some variant of "Life" and might bring natural and agricultural bounty. The second seems possible if the last stone is meant to convey dominion over all things other than the sentient by probable means of control of elemental forces typically outside any thinking creatures perfect grasp. Bit of a coin flip as to which one it is and I, of course, could be completely off base, but these seem like the most reasonable guesses.

How likely do you suppose it is that the Silverhawks will appear next episode?

Not that likely actually. I was kind of hoping they would show up towards the end of the season, as the big reveal that humans do exist in this universe, but that doesn't seem to be the direction it's going in. Introducing them now would sort of derail things. Tiger Sharks seem a lot more likely to show up in the next season since they have one of the stones.

I think Silverhawks really could be in a second season. I've read the theory that the War Stone is/was Mon*Star's eye.

Norton has posted a bunch of new concept art: http://dingo107.deviantart.com/gallery/

With Saturday's being the last episode of the season, a bunch of fans are planning on buying it from Amazon video the day after to help get the show a second season. I plan on doing that along with getting the DV Ds, though I'm hoping for a Blue Ray set of the whole series.

Isn't a second season already confirmed?

No, it hasn't, not exactly. A second season was kind of ordered, but it hasn't been put into production yet because CN was skeptical about the show back when it aired on Fridays. They've been waiting to see how the second half of season one will do, and so far it's been doing better, but they haven't said that there will definitely be a second season yet. The show wasn't on Cartoon Network's last upfront.

It's hard to tell what the fate of the show will be at this point. The people working on the show aren't even sure. Bandai seems to have discontinued the toy line, which is a bad sign, though I heard that WB is looking for a different toy company to pick up the license.

Right now the plan seems to be to buy episode 26 from Amazon instant video once it airs, as a show of support to help convince the executives to order a second season. If it does get ordered, we probably wouldn't see new episodes until next year.

Finally! After a month with no previews, we finally get some.

In the season finale, Mumm-Ra’s forces find the Thunder Cats and the Tech Stone in Avista City. An incredible battle ensues for the stone as Lion-O finds himself betrayed by a trusted ally.

I'm really hoping the betrayal comes from Vultaire and not Pumyra =(

I can't say I'm a fan of how much of an Instant Expert on flying Tygra's become. Still, after the last couple of pretty underwhelming episodes, these clips look very cool.

Can't wait til tomorrow morning ^^

Also, if you want to help the show continue, please sign the petition: http://www.change.org/petitions/warner-bros-animation-keep-the-new-thundercats-on-for-another-season

I normally don't think these things work, but it's been gaining support and every signature helps.

I'd love to sign but do I really have to give my address?

I'm not sure. You could try signing without it. No one's bothered me yet.

You can always put a fake address. That's what I did using an older one I had.

Only 8 min until it's Thunercat time folks ^^

I said so
