Ron Goulart & Julian Gardner Reviewed by: Purrsia  In this 'sode, we get to know the berserkers, Berserkers, BERSERKERS! And lemme tell ya, some things you'd rather live without knowing. There is no real terror involving Hammerhand, it's more like *terrible*, heh heh. Anyhow, this particular eppy starts out with Snarf making a valiant attempt to save a unicorn from the hungry pirates known as the Berserkers. Despite Lion-O's best efforts, Snarf ends up getting caught, only being saved from the rotisserie because he's too "unnartural" to eat, heh heh. The Berserkers are still damned hungry and return to shore to find another tasty "unie-corn". So Lion-O gets a special ring off the first rescued unicorn that the Unicorn Keepers (in their series debut) claim has never been worn by any man. He sets out to fetch Snarf and the young unicorn the Berserkers captured on their second trip to shore. Lion-O gets in a fix and nearly drowns, the magic unicorn ring being his saving grace. Upon summoning Panthro and Cheetara, Lion-O ends up saving the day. Surprised? Didn't think so. "Anything this kitty car can't do?" Cheetara, upon learning Panthro made some aquatic modifications to the Tank, which allowed them to hang ten and save Lion-O's hide. Lion-O calls on the Sword's powers of Second Sight, and is able to hold it out for the unicorn keepers to see the vision. Other than Willa being able to use Second Sight in "Garden of Delights", this is I believe the only other time someone else other than the Sword's owner is able to see what the Sword sees. For the record, the Unicorn Keepers seem skeptical of Lion-O's little magic trick ;) PKELL: The first episode without Mumm-Ra or The Mutants. Was it any good? Eh, it was alright, but the presence of the main villians are greatly missed in this early installment.

- The one thing I will never forgive this episode for is introducing The Unicorn Gaurdians. The female one annoys me to no friggin end. And everybody gets on Snarf's case?
-
- I always liked Hammer Hand. I'm not sure why, but he always struck me as a cool villain, even if trying to eat a unicorn doesn't exactly measure up to trying to take over Cat's Lair or steal the Sword of Omens (both of which happened in the previous episode) My favorite episode with Hammer Hand would have to be Spitting Image. That was when he seemed the most evil, even if he was dead. Chibi: Anyone who tries to eat a Unicorn and is too disgusted by Snarf is awesome in my book leppardra: Not one of my faves. It's not well animated, and HammerHand and his crew aren't really all that scary. This story and "Spitting Image" make it clear that HammerHand is dead, yet he's brought back to life for "ThunderCats, Ho!" with no explanation as to how. A premise change again. Toot: I have no idea why this episode is so srangely animated compared to the others. Was someone on holiday? It really seems to add nothing to the overall story of Thundercats.
