sakon76Okay, the theory of only even-numbered episodes being good has been proven false. Episode 7, "Legacy," is a good one.
Wow, we actually learn how the book works (though how it previously being a starship's OS works I dunno, but hey, magic/tech hybrid world handwave). I had been betting they'd either need to find a blacklight scanner to read the book, or that it was written in braille and they'd need Lynx-O. AND we get our answers about that little history snippet that came up last episode! I was expecting that to be dragged out for a while longer, so I'm impressed.
So, they're all aliens to Third Earth. Interesting. I liked the passing shout out to TigerSharks, which was one of the original series' spin-offs; pity SilverHawks wasn't also given a nod. I really liked Leo's girlfriend. Did we ever get her name? I want to know who she was voiced by; she was giving me strong flashbacks to Cree Summers as Blackarachnia. Wonderful Husband and I were both charmed by the fact that she was taller than Leo. I also note that she had a tail! I'm still pondering the significance of that in Cat culture. The spaceship design and the armored fight was all very Gundam-y. Except Gundam series actually tend to be properly appreciative of, oh, the effects of punching holes in the hull of things in outer space....
And, wow, Lion-O's right, of course, but man he does not think small in his plans. Bringing all the peoples of Third Earth together to fight Mumm-Ra? Well, I guess we know it's been managed once before, why not again?
ETA: HA! I was right! It was Cree Summers voicing Panthera!
