sakon76Okay, I admit that the Robearberbils completely charmed me. Yay throwbacks and shoutouts to the original series! But beyond their cute cuddliness, this was actually not a good episode. Why?
To start with, internal consistency. If Panthro can't even fix his own tank, why is he suddenly a miracle surgeon as far as the robot bears are concerned? It's kind of explained by the Thundertank's engine being old and getting replaced during the episode, but it's still a bit of a stretch. (I still want the story of how he acquired said tank....)
And as a second concern, despite the fun-ness of the various traps and weapons the bears built to defend their village, they were ultimately ineffectual and without the Thundercats they would have been enslaved. And, really, the slavers are not going to change their tune. So maybe not a week after the 'Cats have left, maybe not a month, but someday the slavers are going to come back and the silly cute kid-appealing weapons aren't going to be enough.
Still, this gives me hope the Warrior Maidens may show up eventually....
