So, the premiere of this aired earlier tonight. Anyone else catch it?

[CRBWildcat]

D'OH! I forgot all about it!

So, no. I think I was at the store when it was on, actually.

[Circe]

Dang. If you can, try to catch a rerun or something. Believe me, it's worth it.

[Uldihaa]

I thought it was really good. Lots of flaws in characters that'll be perfect for character development. I liked that the Thundercats kingdom isn't perfect. I'm really, truly looking forward to seeing where they go with this series.


Also, non-talking Snarf that's actually cute.

And the big thing for me: Lots of Cheetara, who is full of win and awesome.

[Circe]

Just a heads up - the full premier is now available on Cartoon Network's website. If you didn't catch it before, now would be a good opportunity.

I thought this was OK. The animation, direction, and story were all pretty nicely done. Silly big cat growls and some lackluster voice acting for half the cast made it less then it could've been. Overall though it was OK but it's not something I feel overly partial to watching again.

Do you know how to get the site to work if you don't have cable?

Do you know how to get the site to work if you don't have cable?

Unfortunately, I don't...

[frice2000]

There is this thing called bits and then there is this thing that ends with nets. Also there's this site with demon and oid and me in the title. That works pretty well to view it without cable >.>. More specific instructions can be had if you want to pm me.

I finally saw the first three eps. They were great. I don't quite like the triangle with Cheetara, but it's cool that she's a mystic.

[frice2000]

I wouldn't call the third episode great. It was a filler Moby Dick spoof to teach about leadership and trusting your friends...Not the best example of storytelling. God help me my favorite characters are the two annoying orphan kids.

God help me my favorite characters are the two annoying orphan kids.

Well you can't deny that Kat and Kit are being handled better this time around than in the original 80s. Though Snarf if by far the most improved character through the simple virtue of removing his ability to speak.

And though episode three didn't quite follow the same level of awesome that was the pilot that's not necessarily a bad thing. Spreading the top quality stuff out a bit can work better in terms of pacing than trying to cram everything in at once.

So, another new episode last night. We meet some adorable yet short-lived plant people called Petalars, Lion-O learns a valuable lesson about living life to the fullest, and the real Panthro makes an awesome debut. What'd everyone think?

[AshK1980]

I think this incarnation of the Thundercats is a lot better than the original incarnation. That's just my opinion though.

[Lioconvoy]

I think Lion-o went from revenge oriented to depressed way too quickly. I think they should have put an episode with the start of the chase before the Petalars episode.
