William Overgard Reviewed by: Purrsia  This episode is the first contribution from the man who has inspired more head-scratching fits among ThunderCat fans than anyone. Oh, and now we can blame him for the creation of the Mandora character. But keep in mind folks, this episode is *mild* compared to the havoc he wreaks on ThunderCat canon later, heh heh. Anyhow the gist of the plot is this: Lion-O, with the curiosity befitting a feline, opens a huge metal box he and Snarf come across in a field. Lion-O displays his first serious bout of LFS when he ignores the *huge* danger signs stamped all over the container. Needless to say, he lets loose 3 of the worst inter-galactic felons, one of which is the oddly likable Qwik-Pik. As you probably guessed, Qwik-Pik is a pick-pocket and master escape artist. Naturally he makes off with the Sword of Omens as well Snarf's coin purse full of tri-centennial Thundera half-dollars and Jaga pennies.... Mandora, the space cop handling the transport of the crooks, shows up and berates Lion-O for his stupidity. Lion-O decides to redeem himself by helping her bring the escaped trio back into custody. That, and he has a vested interest in getting the SoO back. After much struggle and frightful flights astride Mandora's Electro-charger, the baddies are collared and Lion-O and Snarf get their cherished belongings back. "It'll be a crash course all right." --Snarf, in response to Mandora's announcement that she plans to give Lion-O a crash course in Electro-charger flying. Jacky boy: Is mandora Samus Aran or what? Chibi: No, Mandora is an annoying b---- and Samus Aran rocks! I never liked Mandora but I agree that Quick-Pick should have been seen more. Arakhor: I think William Overgard is probably responsible for all the worst episodes in the entire run. Quick-Pick is at least a cool character! leppardra: All in all, it wasn't a bad episode. It's amusing how Lynne Lipton makes Mandora sound like a female John Wayne. And to this day I still don't know what a "cat blaster" is, though I take it that it has nothing to do with a "samophlange". But I don't think Lion-O and Mandora were flirting. And who really knows if he and Cheetara were an item? For my Jaga pennies, she seemed to enjoy hanging around Tygra the most. Roddy Slyme: I enjoyed this episode tremendously. William Overgard is a wonderfully quirky writer, and is obscenely underrated. Brilliant stuff! 5 of 8 comments (part 1) [ » ] [ * ]
