Peter Lawrence Reviewed by: Purrsia  Panthro has invented a cam-corder type gadget that follows its owner around. The idea is for each ThunderCat to have their own such device so that they can show off for it and in the process, create a time capsule of sorts for future generations (this makes for a good episode to see each character's powers displayed in good form). After Snarf makes a spectacle of himself testing the thing, the other ThunderCats decide to take their own devices out and record a little history. Little do they know but old bone bag is scrying again. He decides that while all the 'Cats are apart is a good time to send them each a little present from the past, if you will. Everyone, that is, aside from Snarf who seemed to have met his match with the clothesline. The first to face one of Mummsie's resurrected menaces is Panthro. All of his grunting and kicking is interrupted by the giant technopede (no, not a multi-legged insect that grooves to rave music but that mechanical beastie from the Turmagar the Tuska episode). Their brief encounter ends with Panthro lying prone and unconscious. Next up is Tygra. While snapping his whip and turning invisible, he spies the Warbot of Return to Thundera episode fame. Though he's not shown to be decisively defeated by it, once it notices him, he's got his hands full. Meanwhile in Rockmen country, Cheetara is sprinting and doing fancy bo staff tricks. But knowing the Rockmen won't take to kindly to Cheetara's trespass, the Driller creates a pit right in her path. As she speeds off to escape cascading boulders courtesy of the Rockmen, she falls right into it. Finally, the Thunderkittens get ambushed by a giant insect while romping in the forest - they're last seen surfing for their lives on a spaceboard. This leaves Lion-O all by his lonesome. Mumm-Ra urges Slithe to attack, as Lion-O's friends are occupied and can't help him. The morons should have known the Sword of Omens would tell him that not only are his friends in trouble but there's incoming Mutants. But even with a warning, Lion-O finds the Mutant barrage tough to deal with and signals for the others anyway. Energized by the Eye's power, the others quickly get out of the sticky situations they were in and bail out Lion-O once again. Mumm-Ra goes to his tomb all pissed off and mumbling and Snarf is the subject of more laughing and pointing as his dumb ass is still hanging out to dry so to speak. Hooray. leppardra: I don't like this one, which I don't like saying about a story done by Peter Lawrence. But it has so many scenes recycled from other episodes that it's obviously one that was produced on a shoe-string budget. I also don't care for the showbiz references; how did Panthro know about Hamlet? Did they teach Shakespeare on Thundera? And the 'Cats are going to make a holographic record of EVERYTHING that happens on Third Earth? That's quite an undertaking even for them! Cougar: "Snarf is the subject of more laughing and pointing as his dumb ass is still hanging out to dry so to speak."

- If that wasn't the funniest line of the night! Some of my friends were discussing the poor Snarf hanging on the clothesline. We were saying how this show was heavily edited, as Snarf was cussin' up a storm as he was hung up some hundred feet in the air. Aside from Snarf, this was a good episode in that we heard each ThunderCats' cool ass theme music. I'm partial to Tygra's theme, myself!
