Leonard Starr Reviewed by: Purrsia  In this episode, the Thunderkittens discover that the Mutants are also busy building an abode. Trouble is, they're letting slaves do all the work. The kittens return to the Lair, which is nearly complete thanks to the Berbils' help, to inform the ThunderCats of the injustices the ole Muties are heaping on the helpless Brute Men. These guys are just like their name indicates...all brawn and no brains... Anyway, Lion-O, in all his righteous bravado, can't let this go on. So he and the rest of the adult Tcats set out to free the Brute Men. Since it's only the fourth episode, you know full well the ThunderCats prevail. 'nuff said. This 'sode is the first time Lion-O coins the famous "Sight beyond Sight" phrase to command the Sword to give him second sight. We learn Castle Plundarr is going to have a phosphur mote. This is the first we hear of Warp Gas, an illegal substance banned by the Interstellar Council...the discussion of which lead to Tygra's first smarm-o-rific tirade, heehee. The gas tends to reverse the innate nature of those who inhale it. PKELL: Of the four episodes that were released under the title "Exodus" on home video, this one was my favorite. The first three were basically a standard plot with Lion-O getting into some kind of trouble and him calling the TCats to help. Various characters, locations, powers ETC are explained/introduced along the way.

- This episode is different. It is The Thundercats first real mission on Third Earth. This episode also makes The Mutants, particularly Slythe, come across as truly heartless evil beings.
-
- This episode also introduces us to both Cat's Lair and Castle Plun-Darr, my two of my favorite locations in the series. Anonymous: brilliant episode, the whole bit with Lion-o's pride, and him standing his ground was amazing, god this cartoon was way ahead of its time. The S-s-slythe V Panthro fight is brilliant, and Panthro doesn't get a clean win over him. Which I loved. leppardra: Another episode I enjoyed. Lion-O's gung-ho tendency ("Let's go, ThunderCats!") and his ego get bigger ("The Lord of the ThunderCats can't run!") and then are brought down to size by Tygra and Panthro when they ask Lion-O if he had saved the BruteMen just for thanks. And, yes, there's Tygra's little speech about rules, but that's nothing to get annoyed about; it's there for the little ones in the audience.
