Not bad, but not fabulotastic neither...




Lion-O, Lynx-O, and Snarf are at the Tower Of Omens, waiting for Snarfer to bring them back some Mexican food from Robear Roberto’s Taco Stand in the Berbil village. While Snarfer is bringing the food back to his friends, he is attacked by Chilla in the Ice Runner and his ship crashes. The space cop Mandora sees this in her Electro-Charger and has Chilla pull the Ice Runner over to write her a ticket for sideswiping. While Mandora is writing the ticket, Chilla freezes Mandora’s throat and takes off in the Ice Runner.



Snarfer sees what happened and uses some of the Mexican food to warm up Mandora’s throat. Mandora then accompanies Snarfer to the Tower Of Omens, and Snarf is all pissed cause the food is now cold. Mandora then tells Lion-O and Lynx-O about her run-in with Chilla and Lynx-O offers to take Mandora to Sky Tomb to arrest Chilla for assaulting her.



At Sky Tomb, Chilla tells Luna about what happened with Mandora and Luna offers to help Chilla in the hopes that she can capture Lynx-O’s Braile Board so the Thundercats won’t be able to get through the Forst Of Mists again. Meanwhile, Lynx-O uses the Braile Board to help himself and Mandora through the Forests Of Mists. Once they reach Dark Side, they spot Chilla on the Ice Runner and chase after her. Chilla heads towards the three mountain peaks in Dark Side, but strangely, there are now four. Chilla goes toward the new fourth mountain peak and then disappears into it. Mandora and Lynx-O follow, but it turns out that the fourth mountain peak was just a booby trap, and Mandora and Lynx-O are taken prisoner.



Later, Chilla presents Lynx-O’s Braile Board to Luna. While the midget is trying to learn how to work it, she presses a button at the right side and all the buttons on the Braile Board disappear except for one big button in the center. Luna then presses it and the Braile Board disappears. Luna then has Alluro bring Lynx-O to her to explain why the Braile Board disappeared. Lynx-O states that he can make the Braile Board disappear anytime he wants to just by thinking about it (damn, that’s some power). Alluro then gets the idea to hook Lynx-O’s body to something called the Skull Scope, which is a sort of interrogation device to dig for information. Luna approves the idea and Lynx-O is hooked up to the Skull Scope. At first, the Skull Scope is having little effect on Lynx-O, so Alluro puts the machine on maximum power.



Elsewhere in Sky Tomb, Mandora is being held in a cage by Red-Eye and… Vultureman? Why isn’t Tug-Mug in this scene instead? Anyway, Mandora manages to get ahold of Red-Eye’s Pacifier weapon and uses it on Red-Eye and Vultureman to defeat them. She then escapes her cage and goes to look for Lynx-O. Just as it looks like the Lunatacs are going to pick Lynx-O’s brain with the Skull Scope, Mandora bursts into the room and uses the Pacifier to lift Alluro into the air. Before Mandora and Lynx-O can deliver an ass whoopin’ to Luna and Amuck, Luna says that Chilla is hiding in a nearby hatch and Mandora and Lynx-O go to capture her.



However, the hatch is really a space capsule of some kind and the two are launched out into space. At the Tower Of Omens, the sword warns Lion-O of what has happened and he uses the sword’s uber powers to bring the pair’s space capsule back to Third Earth. Lion-O then goes out to where the capsule lands and frees Mandora and Lynx-O from it. The three then go back to Sky Tomb together and are able to arrest Chilla. Once she is captured, Mandora requests that Chilla drink anti-freeze…for some bizarre reason. Back at the Tower Of Omens, Mandora thanks Lion-O and Lynx-O for their help. Snarfer then panics, as he realizes that his ship is double parked in the hangar, and runs off to move it before Mandora can give him a parking ticket.



Purrsia's Two Cents:


Sorry, but this is probably the most fucked up and retarded episodes right after "Circus Train" IMHO. The Berbils running a taco stand? The whole 'the braille board is in my head' BS?? And since when did Red Eye have a pacifier? So much stoopid to point out, so little time, so I'm just going to bestow the WTF Award on this clunker and be done with my commentary!

omg wtf?

Nick: This was one of the weirder episodes... I thought I would cry laughing when I saw Vultureman reading a cotton-pickin' newspaper!

Purrsia: On second thought, I should have made an "oh no, you di'n't" award for these speshul Overgard eps :-p

Caswin: I'll admit it. The throat-freezing scene made me cringe as a kid. Ridiculous solution aside, when you think about it, that's a pretty nasty move.
