Cartoons

Watched episode three of Thundercats. So happy everyone seems to have their right personalities back in place. I was charmed by different species of reptiles being represented as having different skills. Also, the flower people were wonderful. So different a method of getting the episode's point across than episode two, which hit you with a mallet. And then, at the end, *squee*! (I'm being non-spoilery on purpose; anyone wanna discuss in comments?)

Also watched the next episode of Transformers Prime. My primary snerk, of course, was the title. Deus Ex Machina, which I should get back to writing. It was pretty good (thank Primus the series' writing improved after the five-part opening) and had a few moments that made me laugh out loud, though I don't particularly see Knockout, as someone suggested at BotCon, as being gay. But then my gaydar is reliably lousy, so whatever. I so want Jack and Sam to meet and bitch about their alien friends' obtuseness when it comes to human custom. (IE, "This isn't hiding. My house is not a truck stop.")

He's not overtly gay. I think that idea mostly comes from Starscream's "So, you're one of those," comment. Either way, I'm loving Knockout. This is bad, in a way, because I'm a pretty die-hard Autobot fan. >_>

Yeah, this episode worked a lot better than Moby-Cats. I liked the way they showed how the flower-people saw the passage of the same time that we were seeing - too often it isn't acknowledged that to a short-lived species, their lifetime feels just as long as ours.

Yeah. Actually, I was most charmed by the moment when the flower-boy (whose name escapes me at the moment) implied that he realized the Thundercats saw time differently than he did. Being able to see out of a viewpoint other than your own is a rare gift.
